>As it turns out, the background music is the Dies Irae of Mozart's Requiem >Mass. And the words of the final blast of music which accompanies "Where >do you want to go today?" are actually "confutatis maledictis, flammis >acribus addictis..." In English: "When the damned are confounded, and >consigned to sharp flames..."; which describes exactly where I want to go >today. Perhaps I have seen a different version of this commercial, but the music is not Mozart, it's from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. My chorus did selections from the larger work a year ago. I don't have the translation with me or in my head, but those aren't the words I remember singing! Does anyone know -- are there more versions of the commerical? (For those of you who don't know, Carmina Burana is a collection of Latin secular texts set for chorus and orchestra by 20th century German composer Carl Orff.)
