o fortuna with 300 in background

i heard this piece of carl orff first in a tv ad of old spice when i was around 10. i didnt know anything about music at that time. but it was my first tryst with wcm. it was my favourite.

in recent times a movie i enjoyed watching was '300'. zack snyder has romanced the spartan way of facing death. it may look gory but ratham therikardha kooda rombave rasichu eduthirukaan manushan. surely it is not for all. so weak hearted, dont even try.

i imagined being a spartan and thrusting a spear on all politicians's chests. it was highly satiating. indha madhiri namma arasiyalvadhigalai kuthi theerkanum asai theera. at least karpanailayavadhu.

present u 'carmina burana' with '300' in the background.
this was performed by the Atlanta Philharmonic, taken from the movie EXCALIBUR soundtrack. 1980s!
