Whats the swan lake doing in TOB

Post by Daniel »

When I was on my pocketplane, I noticed a melody from the Swan Lake from Thaikovsky.
Not the whole song, but a part...

Well, but Vegeta's got a point--if it's true; I've never noticed it. Typically, all the music in these Interplay-released CRPGs have been original. It's odd for them to use a known melody. I'll have to check it out.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

I'm very familiar with Tchaikowsky's work, and indeed, there is a part that sounds like ripped from Swan lake. I noticed it first time I was in the pocket plane. I'll check again next time I play.

Btw, there is a part in IWD that sounds extremely like a part from one of Shostakowitch's symphonies, but I don't remember which one now.

You're the only one refined enough to have noticed and appreciated a passage of classical music. Congratulations. Doesn't say much for the rest of us, though. ;)

I guess Bhaal had a soft spot for the classics, or maybe or impish friend has a secret hobby, someone has to have made the music.
The waves came crashing in like blindness.
So I just stood and listened.
