Ideas for Ice Skating Music #3 - Casino royale

Ideas for Ice Skating Music #3: Casino Royale by David Arnold A music edit by the Skating Music Guy, to give you ideas for your next skating program. #3 in a monthly series. More details below. (The bursts of noise are to deter illegal downloading. I edited this but the original music is not mine, no claim of ownership is made or intended, and if you like it you should go and download it legally.) The task I set myself here was to do a feminine James Bond program. There's a lot of beautiful music in the 007 films, but unfortunately Bond-themed skating programs rarely venture beyond a traditional Bond sound, usually with costumes that resemble cocktail dresses and dinner jackets, and choreographed to include finger guns. Here's my effort to change that. David Arnold is one of my favourite composers and he's on top form here. Bond is still in the process of becoming the 007 we know in this movie, and Arnold's theme echoes that with an unfinished version of the Bond music. It uses the first three chords of the famous James Bond Theme but never resolves onto the fourth. Clever and beautiful. This program starts with sweeping, feminine themes and gradually becomes more urgent and dramatic. The ending is huge and exciting and actually gets pretty close to symphonic rock, so if you're considering skating to Nightwish, Within Temptation or Trans-Siberian Orchestra you might like this. You're welcome to copy my transitions and ideas to use in your own program, whether it's for figure skating, ice dance, cheerleading, cheerdance, synchronized swimming or rhythmic gymnastics. If you do, I'd love to see the results! Send me a video of your performance and I'll feature it on Facebook and Twitter. If on the other hand you want to make use of my time and skills (for example if you want to use one of my programs as is) you'll have to pay for them, but my flat rate for a program like this is only 50€ ($60) so it won't break the bank. With a club discount it can be as little as 30€. Get in touch! info [at] theskatingmusicguy.com
