Battle of the Classical Songs
From HallsWiki
Held from April to May of 2007, this was the ninth battle in the Grand Battle of Songs run by Chaomancer Omega. Unlike most battles, which have a number of entrants equal to a power of 2 (16, 32, 64, or 128), this battle had 24 entrants, with the top eight seeds being given first-round byes. Interestingly, though Beethoven dominated the nomination list, none of his works made it to the top four.
The divisions of the battle were named after classic Looney Tunes cartoons, due to their use of classical music.
The top four, in order:
- 1812 Overture, by Tchaikovsky
- Ride of the Valkyries, by Richard Wagner
- William Tell Overture, by Rossini
- In the Hall of the Mountain King, by Edvard Grieg
