that was kind of awesome.

ellen_fremedon and I just had the following conversation.

me: Whose Requiem or Mass or some such thing is it in which the Sanctus goes [singing the first few bars of someone's Sanctus]?
her: ... I don't know.
me: But it sounds familiar, right?
her: It sounds familiar, but it isn't one of the ones I know well.
me: There's a TV commercial that's been on a lot lately where the hurdler comes through the frame, you know, it's about how realistic the picture is, and they just use those few bars, they don't go into pleni sunt anything at all. Is it Mozart? It doesn't sound very Mozart-y, does it.
her: No, it doesn't.
me: But it's one I've sung. Maybe it's Verdi.
her: Well, we have all of Youtube right here. [does Youtube search on 'mozart requiem sanctus'; presses Play]
youtube: San-
me: That's the one.

One chord. AWESOME!
