I am a bit surprised that the news of this Fanfare has generated just about zero interest at least in terms of responses.
That's because it's not called "Harry Potter and the Presidents Own
Pfft... I only refer to it by the real title, Harry Potter and the Prime Minister's Own.
-
Of course the latter one won't be Tomorrow Never Dies... but it does fit the clues.
-
Rosewood, Home Alone 2, Die Hard with a Vengeance, and The Edge here. Wasn't planning on getting The Edge, but then I listened to the samples... dammit.

There are some editions of Jane Eyre that are incomplete—and not like whole scenes cut out, but rather random chunks of footage missing. That version is on YouTube. There's a new edition that just came out on MOD DVD and on Amazon Prime, but I haven't purchased it yet to see if it's complete. If any Prime member wants to compare it, here's one of the more obvious jumpcuts.

I really like the narration segments. Like Incanus said, It helps frame the story the music tells for a film that I'll likely never take the time to watch. For a film score fan who is more interested in the composer's work than the film for which it is written, it serves almost as audio- liner notes, if that makes sense.
I wish more of these style story recordings exist. For example, I'll probably never sit down to watch Jane Eyre, but if there was a narrated recording like this, it would help me understand the context of the score a little better.
If you change your mind, Heidi is available on Hulu (in the US, anyway).

I just realized that the link I found today and the one I posted a year ago point to the same clip. But I know when I posted it before, it was just the speech. Someone at C-SPAN must be looking out for us!
Now let's see if we can record it somehow (does it start midway in the piece?).
It does start abruptly, doesn't it? Sounds like it's still probably the beginning. Would've been nice to have the intro, but oh well. (I did check the ends of the other clips for it, but no dice.)
I see somebody already made a clip of the fanfare. Good for them, because for the life of me I couldn't get the clip thing to work. However, it looks like it cuts off the first couple seconds. But then when I preview it for MP3 download, it was fine. So I went through with the whole download process. A little tedious—iTunes it ain't. But once I got the MP3, I found out it does cut off those first few seconds.
I see I could contact them about it. Seems like a lot of trouble for 2 seconds.
-
Wow, excellent job Kendal! I cannot believe it was on CSPAN this entire time.
Well, I looked all over C-SPAN a while back. It must have been digitized since then.
-
Plus, it looks like the Clinton speech was from the day before the fanfare performance.
EDIT: Um, guys? I've found it.

Bump... because coinciding with the Blu-ray release of The Muppet Movie this fall, Paul Williams has confirmed that the soundtrack will be rereleased too. Hopefully, that means on CD. Would be great if it came from Intrada.

There were headlines a few days ago indicating that the how of Coulson's aliveness is now known, but I avoided reading anything about it. I'd rather find out when I see the pilot.
Which, needless to say, I'm super stoked about.

Can't be any worse than X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Ladyhawke. I know some people simply LOATHE this score. But I consider it one of my all time favorites. Any film is a product of its time and it will "date" one way or another. I don't think Powell's score was "wrong" for, say, being anachronistic. It's not like a "traditionally orchestral" score would have only used instruments that were around in medieval times.
I don't know that this score is technically 80% synth—it's a steady blend of synth and orchestra—but there's a lot of synth throughout it.
One of my favorite cues:
-
Yeah, they've carried it before. I bought my copy from them.
-
I, too, really dug this cue over the (pre-?) end credits. I've heard Tyler's scores in films before, but this one was the first time I really sat up and took notice. CD = ordered.
If Williams had written something similar people would be reaching orgasms.
Actually it's quite catchy, I like it.
"The Globetrotters" from A Guide for the Married Man is somewhat of a '60s equivalent. Orgasmic? Perhaps not quite, but I do love it.
-
The Rare Breed, maybe?
EDIT: Oh wait, I was mixing up the clues. Maybe not.
-
That reminded me to order this album. Had been meaning to for that song for a long time. Plus, his recording of "Send in the Clowns" on there is great too.
-
[...] That and The Wind And The Lion.
Yup. And there's a film that needs a Blu-ray release.
-
Some prick.
-
Just saw on the Digital Bits that Earthquake will also be coming from Universal the same day, and both are already up for pre-order on Amazon.
-
They shouldn't have kept cutting people off with the Jaws theme unless they were actually gonna deliver and have Bruce pop up and eat the winners.
-
Same thing here with the plugin. Oh well
Nice to see Captain Kirk again, although it could've been a lot more... well, Kirk, IMO.
-
Even if I get this one, I think I'll be hanging on to my Deluxe Edition:
-
JW & Yo-Yo Ma, and only an afternoon's drive away? I'm so in!
-
Lots of variables on my library means play counts aren't always what they should be. But my most played is actually the theme from Meet the Press. After that, it's mostly cues from ROTS and KOTCS. One notable exception is "If We Were In Love" from the Aisle Seat album.
Muppet Movie?

Well, looks like the soundtrack rerelease will be on CD, because it's up for preorder on Amazon, same date as the Blu-ray. But it's coming from Walt Disney Records, so I doubt there will be any additional music of note.
