Friends Of Final Fantasy...

Just cannot get enough of Nobuo Uematsu's Latin choirs. The first time we watched Final Fantasy VIII's opening scene, we were going, "Oh man!" Not only because the movie was good, but the music! Don't take our word for it, there are many many others out there who will tell you the same. Heck, he's already had orchestras holding concerts featuring music from the game! And we are one of them who'd just lurve to be on the choir singing Liberi Fatali.

Had just watched Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children recently, and the first thing that got us was the Latin choir (okay, mebbe not the first but definitely on the top of the list). There's The Promised Land and One-Winged Angel and both are just great listening. A bit of hunting led to: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/dvd/ff7ac/ that plays The Promised Land repeatedly where we dedicate a window to nowadays, leaving all our other MP3s in silence.

THE PROMISED LAND

Cur in gremio haeremus?

Cur poenam cordi parvo damus?

Stella nobis non concessit, non concessit

Stella nobis non concessit, non concessit

Venarum pulsus in terram fluens

Parvus, parvus pulsus

Cor mortem ducens

Vita mollis in stellam redeunt

Animam sacrificare necesse est?

Cur in gremio, in gremio haeremus?

Cur veniam petimus?

In terram fatali?
