Bolero is like the best song ever. A bolero is a dance in triple (in case you didn`t know) and the bolero is celebrated and popularized in Maurice Ravell`s song. Any one ever here this lovely song?

have you ever heard of the music group The Planets? they`re an instrumental groub, and play classical-crossover music similar to bond. they have a cellist, a violinist, a flute player, 1 or 2 guitarists, a double bass/bass guitar player, a percussionist, and a cor anglais/oboe player.
anyways, they do a variation of bolero and it`s very cool! i like it.

*group, not groub... haha

they have some of their music, on their website, too, which is www.theplanets.org.co.uk, i believe.

I`ve heard Bolero a few times, and one reason why I really like it is because it uses saxophones. It`s a great song! (ahem, symphony. survey of music lit. is following me everywhere!)

it`s very addicting and it gets stuck in my head ALL THE TIME! i enjoy playing the opening solo! fluter`s pride

omg! im pretty sure we just 0played it in my concert band today... instead of lord of the dance psht lol... anywho, its a pretty cool song, if its the song im thinking of... lol , im pretty sure it was called bolero...

ah! it is the song we played in band! lol , yah its pretty cool.... but lord of the dance is way way better... you should listen to it... its my favorite band song ever, really fun to play! lol, anywho , im out
lol
jen

yea i love that song... our band needs to play it =(

oh yah, if you listen to lord of the dance, try to find the orchestra version... not the one with just violin and stuff

I love the colours of Bolero.
Esp. the two pianos version!

at the risk of starting an unnecessary debate, how can you like the colors of the 2 piano version better than the orchestral version. the piano is a wonderful instrument, but the genius of bolero lies in the fact that it is, in ravel`s own words, "orchestral tissue without music".

Pretty cool build up in it.

and Torvil and Dean won european ice skating championship skating to Bolero in 1981

Michelle Kwan (US Ladies Figure Skater/Champion) skated to Bolero this season, as well.

hey, did u kno chopin wrote a bolero too? it`s not that well-known but I really like that too, as well as Ravel`s piece.
