Music I am always tear-filled emotional trash for, no matter how much of a warhorse it is:

1.) Gabriel's Oboe (The Mission)

 

[skatingguy]

Editing will be key, but those selections are right up Madi and Zach's wheelhouse -- lots of hip shaking is in store (and hopefully a smoking HOT dress for Madi!)

I'm guessing 'pieces of fabric' will be a more accurate description of Madi's costume - maybe Zach's too.

 

[Karpenko]

That's an excellent music/choreographer combo for Mai Mihara IMO.

Yes! Her ease and butter-soft lovely kneebend asks for it! Lovely music, @kateri, I never grow tired of it either. Back in the days Kristina Czako did a lovely exhibition to Gabriel's oboe, without a lot of jumping, but with pure skating and edges in it. Hope to see some of that magic recreated with Mai, OG coming up.

I'm loving these clips and can't wait for more, although I would rather hear the on-ice dialogue, or some semblance, than Whitney Houston background music.

We have also speculated in Jason's GS Fan Fest (based on folks who know way more than me) that the ladies skater working with Rohene in these clips is Yoonmi Lehmann of Switzerland, who is now training at 7k.

She will be using Epilogue, great!

 

[Spareoom]

I love the Epilogue; it's such a great piece of music. And it has a lot of different tempos and feels so you can get different parts in there without getting that awful "cut music" feel.

Jackie Wong will be filming the making of Ashley's La La Land free skate:

A couple of seasons ago people were suggesting some big broadway number. Brassy, sequins, propulsive. If she picks right this could be it. (just stay away from dreamy, modal bits in beginning - she showed this season that she can't sell it.)

 

[Wyliefan]

I love the Epilogue; it's such a great piece of music. And it has a lot of different tempos and feels so you can get different parts in there without getting that awful "cut music" feel.

True -- but it's seven-and-a-half minutes long, so there will have to be some cutting here and there. Hope they cut it wisely!

Re-posting from earlier in this thread:

Before Worlds, Misha Ge shared 4 clips of an exhibition program he choreographed for himself to the "Epilogue" from La La Land that he has yet to debut in public:
Part 1: https://www.instagram.com/p/BRZw0ImBDtg/?taken-by=mishage8
Part 2: https://www.instagram.com/p/BRpVyYThPL5/
Part 3: https://www.instagram.com/p/BR5rT4khOBh/

I'm looking forward to seeing this program performed for a live audience.

Icenetwork article about Vincent Zhao's selection of Romeo and Juliet for his free skate.

 

[Sylvia]

^^^ Thanks, the article says (I think?) Zhou is skating to the 1996 film soundtrack of Romeo + Juliet:

[Drew] Meekins had Zhou skate the same piece of choreography to different musical selections in order to gain a sense of which piece he interpreted best. The music from the 1996 film Romeo + Juliet was an early leader, although the final decision wouldn't be made until a choreographer was chosen.
"I feel like Romeo + Juliet is a good choice for me.," Zhou said. "It's beautiful music, of course, but there are lots of places to interpret the tone and the mood changes. It's a good piece to skate to, and it's familiar and popular."

The music selection process went on throughout the month of April, but everyone kept returning to Romeo + Juliet.
"There's such a fine line between trying to fit in sections where you're trying to push yourself to new heights versus having to be comfortable so you have enough energy to get all the most important jumps in," White said. "There's so much good music, but at the same time, you can't find just the right piece. Ultimately, we came back to one of the original pieces that we felt would be a good fit."

Oh, he's doing Yuzu's music! Boy, it's got to be good. No pressure.

I don't think R&J was one of Yuzu's more memorable programs.

 

[mollymgr]

I'm actually looking forward to all the La La Land programs. I was skeptical at first but the soundtrack is really good.
