    Pardon me because this is off topic, but when I saw the video from Kingdom of Heaven I suddenly remembered it; Near the end of the sequence, there's this woman/chorus singing some hymn in what sounds like Latin (). It starts at 3:22 in the video. That has always intrigued me. I remember spending hours scouring the Internet to find a clue as to what they're singing, but none of the Latin hymn I came across seemed to have the same words.
    If someone can tell me what she's singing, it'll make my day.

    I cant find a version of it on youtube but the cavalry charge in Gladiator is pretty epic.

Nice dialogue, too. Typical arrogant Murat: 'We have the honour of showing the Emperor what we are capable of.' Typical cynicism of Napoléon. 'Do you think they will succeed?' 'No, but it's magnificent anyway.'

    Ah, the good old days.
