‘O(ilers) Fortuna': Edmonton choir cheers Oilers on like only a choir can
Edmonton is cheering for the Oilers to take the lead again in the Stanley Cup Final, including the Chorus Inspira, in an octave all their own. The group, formerly known as the Richard Eaton Singers, rewrote the lyrics of the classic song O Fortuna to give the song an Oilers spin. 'Number one fans! Filling the stands! Proud to wear o-range and blue,' the choir sings. The famous song by Carl Orff is about the inescapable nature of fate, a force that Tim Shantz, the artistic director of Chorus Inspira, believes is on Edmonton's side in the Stanley Cup Final. He and his wife came up with the new lyrics, making sure to include all the starters. 'I've actually done different lyrics with this before, I know it's hard to say, even for the Calgary Flames when I lived in Calgary, but I was always an Oilers fan,' Shantz said. His favourite part in the song is 'Goodbye Tkachuk! We'll win the cup!' The performance was a surprise part of the encore for the audience at the Winspear Centre on Sunday where Chorus Inspira performed Carmina Burana, which O Fortuna is a part of. 'All the singers enjoyed sort of taking this on as an encore after just performing the piece,' Shantz said. 'It's great to get the response from the crowd too … It's really fun for us.' Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final takes Place Friday in Florida. If the Oilers win, they may want to consider adding O Fortuna to their victory playlist.
