Plus - and this is just my opinion so feel free to ignore every word - the reasons for wanting to use 'O Fortuna' are the same reasons why I'd argue it's a piece of music to avoid; it's been used far too often and to the point of no longer being truly powerful or original. I really think you should choose music that no-one has used in quite the same way. Be creative and develop a style that is uniquely yours.
I hear your concern, and my buddies have talked over this same issue, but we think it would be okay to open with ... no need to use it to build up the tension or anything ... but an old school beginning we'd love to have
It will be okay I promise
