apropos of absolutely nothing

I would pay money to see somebody choreograph a contemporary ballet pas de deux to the song "Gaeta's Lament" from Battlestar Galactica. It would be a beautiful adagio, morphing into something huge and powerful when the drums kick in. Alternatively, do it on ice, with some really athletic side-by-side and throw jumps at the end.

I never had it in me to be a professional dancer, but there is and always will be a choreographer living in a back corner of my head, drafting movement to the music I'm hearing.

I think the only nuBSG music I have on CD is first or second season. I'll have to track down Gaeta's Lament and listen to it.

The whole score would make for a very fine ballet.

I would *love* that ballet. LOVE it. :)

By the strangest coincidence, I just watched the episode where Gaeta _sings_ "Gaeta's Lament," and then anghara posted the instrumental version in her blog and I was listening to it as I read your post! omg - it would SO work as a figure skating dance routine. Or some kind of interpretive jazz...

I love the soundtrack of that show. I always thought "Passacaglia" from "Kobol's Last Gleaming" from season 1 was a beautiful song.
