Dancing with the Stars Season 14 Music – Classical Week
Dancing with the Stars season 2012 classical week music is here!! Time again for the list of Dancing with the Stars Music. Here’s the list of DWTS music from tonight’s show:
Katherine & Mark danced a Rumba to the song “Canon in D Major” —Johann Pachelbel
Melissa & Maks danced a Argentine Tango to the song “Marriage of Figaro” —Wolfgang Mozart
William & Cheryl danced a Viennese Waltz to the song “Ave Maria” — Franz Schubert (Performed by Jackie Evancho)
Roshon & Chelsie danced a Argentine Tango to the song “Bad Romance” —Lady Gaga
Donald & Peta danced a Viennese Waltz to the song “La Donna è Mobile” —Giuseppe Verdi (Performed by Vittorio Grigolo)
Maria & Derek danced a Paso Doble to the song “Montagues and Capulets”
Jaleel & Kym danced a Viennese Waltz to the song “Did I Make the Most of Loving You?” —Mary-Jess Leaverland
Maria & Derek, Katherine & Mark, Roshon & Chelsie and Jaleel & Kym danced a Team Tango to the song “Toccata from Symphony No. 5” -Charles-Marie Widor
Donald & Peta, Melissa & Maks and William & Cheryl danced a Team Paso Doble to the song “O Fortuna” —Carl Orff (Performed by Vittorio Grigolo)
The Bad Romance version played by the orchestra was an arrangement by Aston and is available as part of their The Monster Symphony tribute
I think Classical Week is as bad, if not worse than, Rock Week. Seriously, the music was so jacked up. As Courtney said in her Power Rankings, only a couple of teams got decent music to work with. “Canon in D” for a rumba? Sorry, not buying it. “Marriage of Figaro” for an Argentine Tango? Not even close. Really, the only two I’d say that their music worked with their dance were Donald and Peta and Maria and Derek. And Lady Gaga and the Downton Abbey theme? Er, no, not classical music, not by a country mile. The music for the team dances was okay, but the rest was just a big ol’ mess, IMO.
Maria and Derek’s song is called “Montagues and Capulets” – Derek even says it in their package…
What was the name of the song team tango danced to???
@LJW – The song is “Toccata from Symphony No. 5” by Charles-Marie Widor.
This classical week music is rough since so many people have recorded pretty much all of the songs. Thanks for the help.
No prob, John 😉
I have to admit – after sitting there, listening to Vivaldi, Schubert, and Mozart, I actually spilled my glass of Merlot when I realized Roshon & Chelsie were dancing to Lady Gaga… 😀
Who sang the song that Kym & Jaleel danced to?
I agree with Sally & Magnolia regarding some of the bizarre music choices. However, I have to say I adored the music Derek & Maria danced to. If I’m not mistaken, it is the Montagues and Capulets theme from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet ballet. The orchestra sounded so fantastic, imo, and Derek really captured the intensity and drama of the music; it was my favorite performance of the night.
I’ve only seen O Fortuna from Carmina Burana danced on ice. Didn’t really seem like a good fit for the AT. Too bad Maks couldn’t get it changed.
I meant the marriage of figaro for the AT….o’fortuna was perfect for the paso.
I don’t know if it’s because I can’t get YouTube or iTunes to play the whole song, but the song mentioned for Team Tango doesn’t sound like what I’ve been listening to and the team dance version. It’s making me upset. But thanks for the music guys!
Also, I think Classical Week is better than Rock Week. You just have to put the music to the right dances. Season 12’s Classical Week had Viennese Waltz, Waltz and Paso Doble. All dances fit the bill for Classical Week. But that’s just MHO.
