At first it's nice, but unexceptional, the instruments just sort of noodling about here and there (heh, probably not the official musical term for it)... but then the theme starts coming together, and more and more, and building, and then when it all takes off at about 4 minutes in I'm in tears every time. And I think part of it is the flutes just stomping through and leading the way (or so I've always heard it). It speaks to me of starting slow, and getting better and better and then - well, that part of that movement is truly victorious.<BR/><BR/>Heh. I've just begun a job search. Maybe a bit of Beethoven as I redo the resume wouldn't hurt...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5727140819407436603.post-48886827693270762912008-04-01T10:31:00.000-05:002008-04-01T10:31:00.000-05:00A few popped in my head, but not sure it's really what you're looking for:<BR/>- We Are the Champions, in any sport<BR/>- the drums from We Will Rock You, in any sport<BR/>- The Rocky Theme<BR/>- Chariots of Fire Theme<BR/>- For us golf geeks, the music that accompanies The Masters broadcasts<BR/>- The very first thing that popped into my head was the Star-Spangled BannerStevenoreply@blogger.com
