It's inspired by Beethoven's Bagatelle in A minor for solo piano, better known as "Für Elise":

Well, it sounds semi classical:

Joseph Klein (USA)
SP: Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Lorde
FS: Scotland by the Lumineers mixed with Northern Attitude by Noah Kahan & Hosier

[GoneWithTheWind]

Mia Kalin (USA)
SP: "Rain, In Your Black Eyes" by Ezio Bosso (keeping from 2023-24 season)
FS: "Romeo & Juliet" (new program)

Source: Notes from her TikTok Live

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh dear, I’m seeing lots of warhorses lol .. and that everybody wants to rule the world by Lorde isn’t up that real emo downer, depressing version we’ve been hearing lately?

Can someone please skate to juice by Lizzo

Or do I need to serve it?

 

[Sylvia]

Maybe someone can start a thread in the Trash Can again for program music suggestions/their wish list and keep this one focused on current announcements, pretty please?

Thanks @GoneWithTheWind - guess we'll have to wait to know which composer(s) for "Romeo & Juliet."

Yesterday Mia Kalin posted a photo with Cindy Stuart to thank her for choreographing her new FS (music not revealed): https://www.instagram.com/p/C5HMjOAS2eM/

ETA some of the announced choreographers (but not music):

Amber Glenn mentioned in her Golden Skate interview at Worlds (uploaded yesterday) that she planned to work again with Kaitlyn Weaver and Katherine Hill for next season's programs.

Minerva Fabienne Hase/Nikita Volodin (GER) and Ioulia Chtchetinina/Michal Wozniak (POL) worked with Mark Pillay and Paul Boll on their new short programs in Toronto after Worlds - Ioulia's post: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5J2322urcO/ & Minerva's post: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5LCw6RLc6H/

Niina Petrokina (EST) - refer to post #1 - was with both pairs in the same Toronto area rink in Richmond Hill and Mark Pillay choreographed her SP.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Lol just some early Tuesday morning humor. Not an actual suggestion.

While we wait for @Wyliefan's update today...

I've bumped up an older program music suggestions thread in the Trash Can to help keep this thread focused on 2024-25 season program and/or choreographer announcements : https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...-or-used-lately-in-competition-thread.105459/

Underused classical music thread: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/underused-classical-music.101810/

 

[Wyliefan]

Just as a reminder, if you post program updates elsewhere in the forums, please remember also to post them here. It's a lot of information to keep track of, and the more people we have helping out, the easier it is. Thanks.

Oh dear, Shawn Mendes is hawt, but this Frankie Valli cover is atrocious. (And there are good covers of this song out there, so why Shae-Lynn picked this ghastly version defies all logic.)
