#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Which makes the '89 Winter Olympic Fanfare the most rare version in the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 John Williams did the cue "Olympic Spirit" for NBC for the 1988 Summer Olympics but I believe the 1988 Winter Olympic theme was written by David Foster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I think he means Winter Game Fanfare.There's only a Midi of it online ,but it's so bad I can't make up the themeK.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Williams had nothing to do with the 1988 Winter Games unless someone else did an arrangement of his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 He should re-title the thread to the 1989 Alpine Ski Championships...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I keep my copy of John's 1989 Winter Olympic's music, right next to my copy of John's unused score to the Color Purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony69 0 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 he is right. there is a winter olympics in the John WIlliams piano anthology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Right. And I guess the midi was generated from those sheets. It sounds like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 My suggestion was,a while back,that those 5 Williams themes we don't have(Winter Game Fanfare,Fanfare for Prince Philip,Celebration Fanfare,Fanfare for 10y olds,Fanfare for Michael Dukakis),be arranged by someone on the MB who has access to more elaborate music software that can sound orchestral,instead of those crappy midis.K.M.

scissorhands 16 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I prefer to use my imagination to fill the lacking orchestration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingPin 201 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Not even all of us combined would have enough imagination to fill in the orchestrations and make them sound as good as Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 You mean Conrad Pope, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 Pope is fine in the vatican. I thought you were atheist... And i said Winter olympics after reading this very page: http://jwfan.com/modules.php?op=modload&na...rticle&artid=64I supposed Winter games and winter olympic games were the same thing, as Olympic games-summer games.I didnt knew someone had made a midi of this but couldn't anyone record himslef playing this to piano, or guitar or another instrument?

King Mark 3,631 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Williams could die before some of his unreleased music can be recorded.then we'll be stuck with an half assed approximated attempt.It's time for American Journey 2K.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Hey Luke, I was flicking thorugh this book again today (I don't own it), do you recognise the "Theme from Close Encounters..." in it? Just from glancing I couldn't place it, so i was wondering if it was a particular arrangement you've heard before, or anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 I cant read music enought to hear the music in my head. I just got it because it was williams (and well my brother can play thepiano a little, but he has not tried yet) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPin 201 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 The Close Encounters music is for a techno/disco type version Williams did as a promo. There are some recordings of it somewhere, don't remember where. I'll try to find it.This should probably be a whole new topic thread, but supposedly the Varese release of Close Encounters contains Williams' disco version of the theme, which matches the music in the Anthology.
