In 2004 I saw one of the overhead projections in Fremont Street in Las Vegas; the patriotic-themed one with all sorts of American classics:

 

 

Does anyone know where to find these songs performed with a full orchestra and choir like that? I rather like the more cinematic presentation.

 

I believe the 'Fanfare for the Common Man' is from a self-conducted Copland album, however most of the other ones on spotify (such as 'God Bless America') seem to be army bands/solo performers/synth, etc. I'm particularly after a performance which has that cool fanfare just as the jets fly past.

 

Shazam doesn't know, but it might just be terrible sound.

Hi extremely resourceful JWFanners

This is another piece of music I've had on my computer for ages, and it's from an analogue source (the 'bang' at the end is to deal with source material problems).

It's likely a piece of library music (there's a loop, and at least one edit, so it wasn't written specifically) and neither Shazam nor Youtube's content ID know it.

I can't say I'm that optimistic (pretty sure this isn't Enya again... ) but I'd kick myself if it is something known in the instrumental world.

Edit: found it: Caribbean Blue by Enya

I've had this clip on my computer for a while, ripped from some website.

It's way too short to use any ID'ing services (only 14 seconds), but to me it has an Enya sound, especially when a synth voice comes in right at the end.

Can anyone offer some insight? I'd rather not skim through her entire discography on spotify to rule it out.

Long shot, but I'll ask anyway - I'm trying to track down a copy of the Kosinus Music Library CD #42, titled 'Metal Warrior'.

I've tracked down some last cues I need for a compilation, and given how many connected people (or just those who collect weird stuff) we have here, I wondered if anyone had a copy of this?

Usually, I could just listen on the library's site, but unfortunately this CD is amongst a small number that aren't available (I know it's this CD as I found samples on the composer's site).

This is currently driving me crazy, so I thought I'd ask my fellow JWFanners with a wider music vocabulary than me.

I'm trying to identify which musical genre would most appropriately describe the following clips - in the context of normal music that is ('film score' is not a genre in this case). The reason being that I discovered using youtube's content ID system that a particular music library supplied music for this show, but since no composers are credited, I have no leads to work with, and they have hundreds of albums. It can be narrowed down by genre keywords however, and even exact instruments used.

I've essentially wanted to hear these tracks since this aired in 1999, but only very recently (ok, last week) did I realise it's all library music, and therefore locatable.

Soo.... if you had to find these pieces, what keywords would you use?

The first one: (1:47 onwards)



And the second: (1:11 onwards)



Libraries like to emphasize that they're for licensing reasons only, but I really think they're missing a trick by not making stuff easier to correlate to a production so that people can listen to it.
