You mean Charging Fort Wagner? The piece's O Fortuna all the way...

Actually, I think that peice is more like Fortune Plango Vulnrea rather than O Fortuna. Horner's take is still very good, and I perfer Charging Fort Wagner over O Fortuna. I've always wondered what the lyrics were in Charging Fort Wagner...I'm guessing that the words in both tracks refer to people cursing thier Fortune. [insert cannon sound] ;D

Yes, O Fortuna is EXACTLY the one I was referring to. The very end of Charging Fort Wagner is nearly identical, but Horner wasn't the first to do it. John Williams' ending to "Enter the Champions" from some of his olympics music (I think

) is the same thing, too. That's why I originally posted my comment on this "John Williams rip-off" thread. Horner was kind of a side note, and I must agree that I enjoy Charging Fort Wagner just as much or more than O Fortuna.
