View Full Version : Classical Music Question

09-25-2005, 02:07 PM
Hi guys.

Does anyone know the name of the famous piece of classical music often used to represent the devil, hell, etc?

The peice I am referring to uses a choir, chanting in Latin, and is very famous.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

That's pretty vague. Can you give an example of where it has been used, like a movie or something? And don't forget to post a picture of a hot chick.

Despite this being an oft used piece, I cannot think of any specific instance of it's use. (Actually it was used in Only Fools And Horses once but I strongly doubt that helps.)

It has a repetitive chorus, which gets stronger with each loop, with a drum (dum-dum dum-dum) seperating each repetition.

I know its vague, but it's such an insanely famous piece that I'm hoping someone will know what I mean without needing much help.

Is it played whenever Darth Vader makes an appearance?

O Fortuna was correct.

Thanks very much for the help.
