This is sooo awesome. But one question strikes me:

What language is this song in???

I think we need to start teach school choruses the one winged angel.

[James Leopold]

its in latin
i think its an amazing language, and this is an amazing song

[moomba]

yup the lyrics translates as
[CHORUS]
Burning inside
with violent anger,
Burning inside
with violent anger,
Sephiroth
Sephiroth[REPEAT CHORUS]

Fate - monstrous
and empty,
Fate - monstrous
and empty,[REPEAT CHORUS]

Come, come, O come,
do not let me die
Come, come, O come,
do not let me die[REPEAT VERSE]

Come, come, O come, (Glorious)
do not let me die (Noble)
Come, come, O come, (Glorious)
do not let me die (Noble)[REPEAT VERSE]
Sephiroth
Sephiroth

It's good, but it's not that good.

[daggertrepe]

Well they can sing pop song all the time. We need something of higher status.

Maybe but that's going a bit far. I mean, i'm betting that over half of the kids there won't have heard of final fantasy, and even less will have played vii.

i really don't think a song from a video game would be considered higher status...as good as it may be

and...that performance sounded pretty bad in my opinion >.<

[Fynn]

It is of higher status than pop music, deffinitely. But still, IMO there's very little choral parts here, considering how long the track is. Teaching "liberi Fatali" in schools would make more sense.

[Big D]

'The Promised Land' from Advent Children is a great four-part Latin choral work, but it's much more somber than 'One-Winged Angel'.
There are good arrangements available online, too.

I found this while watching the link you posted above. I personally thought that Orchestra did a great job of playing One Winged Angel. But this below is amazing!

Its actually Nobuo Uematsu's Orchestra, the Black Mages playing a rockier version of OWA.

Hope you like!
