[edit] Main theme lyrics?

What are they singing in the main theme? Is it latin? Is warped English? Are their lyrics? Is there a translation? --Gbleem 08:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Also...isn't 6's theme (and the music at the start of the program) Morse code....?

Sounds like it could be, but I couldn't work it out if it is....

I tried putting CYLON into http://www.philtulga.com/morse.html , and it kinda sounds right...

Any Morse-code literates out there who could confirm/ refute this ?

The best way to confirm that hypothesis would be to email Bear McCreary and/or Richard Gibbs yourself and ask them. :-) Sullivan.t.j 21:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

[edit] Phil Glass in Season Two

Here the article says that "Valley of Darkness" uses Metamorphosis I, and that Bear McCreary's website incorrectly claims to use the last movement of the piece instead. That's partially true: when the piece is being used diegetically (i.e. when Starbuck and Helo are on Caprica), it is indeed Metamorphosis I that gets played. But at the end of the episode, when Lee and Tigh are talking, the chord progression now has five chords, which would be Metamorphosis V. At any rate, can't really put that into the article on my own on OR grounds, but I really doubt there's actually been a reputable source that's called attention to the distinction.
