In the 80's movie "Excalibur", what was the classical song at the end of the movie-as Arthur and his men were riding into the final battle?

I can't think of it, and it's been driving me crazy...

O Fortuna - Wagner

Are you sure about that? I didn't see Excalibur, but the "O Fortuna" that shows up in most movies and advertisements is usually from "Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff. It is a kick-ass choral piece.

EDIT: Yeah, I just checked the IMDB.com soundtrack listing for Excalibur, and it's Orff.

Carmina Burana is the entire symphony. O Fortuna is the first part. Carl Orff.

They also play parts from The Ring Cycle opera by Wagner.
Mainly Magic Fire Music and Entry of the Gods into Valhalla.

One great scene, with that tune blaring, and the knights riding through the forest and white blossoms surrounding them. Wow.
