It had been quite a long time since I've seen them; the temp. was about 70ºF (21.1 C) with a light breeze--in other words, perfect. Such a pleasant experience! The event started with a recognition of firms that had contributed to the Fund for the Arts; then the music began. The theme was music that has been used in movies; they played parts of larger works. It is a world I miss. The program: "Allegro con brio" from Symphony No. 25 in G Minor, K.183, featured in Amadeus, Romeo and Juliet Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Can-Can, featured in Rush Hour 3, Big Fish, The Little Mermaid, The Cutting Edge, Robin Hood: Men in Tights Jacques Offenbach "Habañera" from Carmen Suite No. 2, featured in Superman Returns, Meet the Parents, Magnolia, Entrapment, Serendipity Georges Bizet "Allegro con brio" from Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, op. 67, featured in The Breakfast Club, Fantasia 2000, Immortal Beloved, Austin Powers, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Ludwig van Beethoven (editorial comment: yes, this is the famous dah dah dah DAHHHH; and, wow!) Clair de lune, featured in Ocean's Thirteen, Ocean's Eleven, Seven Years in Tibet, Frankie and Johnny, Castaway, Casino Royale, Atonement, Twilight Clause Debussy "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, op. 46, featured in Alice's Restaurant, Man on a Wire, Scoop, Rat Race Edvard Grieg "Saltarello: Presto" from Symphnoy No. 4 in A Major, op. 90 ("Italian"), featured in Breaking Away, Centerstage, Set it Off Felix Mendelssohn Overture to Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville), featured in Robots, Cruel Intentions 2, Clockwork Orange Gioachino Rossini "Flight of the Bumblebee" from Tale of the Tsar Sultan, featured in 8 Mile, Radio Days, Casino, Kill Bill: Volume 1 Nikolai Rinse Your Coffee Cup An Der Schönen blauen Donau, op. 314 (On the Beautiful Blue Danube), featured in Horton Hears a Who, Roll Bounce, True Lies, Cool Runnings, 2001: Space Odyssey Johann Strauss, Jr. Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: A really nice evening (non-word post) Jackie #185935 07/20/09 04:12 AM Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 3,290 R'lyeh zmjezhd Carpal Tunnel zmjezhd Carpal Tunnel Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 3,290 R'lyeh "Habañera" from Carmen Suite No. 2 There's no ñ in Habanera.

Long live the music, Jackie. We used to have a type of margerine called 'Brio'. This in combination with 'The Breakfast Club' made me laugh. I've always only seen it written as 'con brillo'. But looking up 'brio' it seems to be allright.

Capish? Io capisco, but there's no ñ in the English alphabet. She could spell it Habanyera if she wanted to, or mistake it for an Italian word Habagnera. Me, I think it's better in the original Klingon, Hab'ang yu'ra'. Ceci n'est pas un seing.

There are some dictionaries that have mañana with cream on top. ~ Also the Collins has it. I guess those who want to let know that they know their Spanish like to put the ~ on.
