jgraves 0 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Wow - Soarin' was Goldsmith? I didn't know that. Rode the ride last week and was impressed by the music. Haven't heard the fireworks music, so I can't really vote.Anybody got Soarin' as an audio file?JasonGoldsmith 2 last not film or TV related musical pieces.

Composer_Fan 2 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Does the Epcot version of Soarin' use Goldsmith's music as well? I'm pretty sure it's a replica of the California Adventure version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,090 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Fireworks, no doubt. Incidentally, I'm listening to that right now. Soarin', is also wonderful of course, and quite spectacular when performed live.Marian - still heartbroken that his recording turned out to be damaged.

nightscape94 965 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 So, this "Fireworks" is a concert piece? Never heard of it. Is it available on CD anywhere (legit, bootleg, or otherwise)?Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 So, this "Fireworks" is a concert piece? Never heard of it. Is it available on CD anywhere (legit, bootleg, or otherwise)?TimThere's a version available with Goldsmith conducting the London Symphony - the CD is Telarc CD-80560, the SA-CD Hybrid is Telarc SACD-60560. It's coupled with the distinctly less-impressive Christus Apollo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,053 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 But it contains the very impressive "Works for Orchestra."Goldsmith's Soarin along with Bruce Broughton's Season Of The Vine is available on CD, be warned though, the rest is crap. I'm not as crazy about Soarin as most people so I'll vote for Fireworks.Here's a link to Amazon for the CD. It's an import, I'm not sure but I think there was a cheaper domestic release as well.CD Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Fireworks, an awesome work compared to the simply correct Soarin' Over California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,090 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I think Soarin' works much better live, sans the synth but with more energy. The structure is a bit odd (Fireworks is much more organised), but it's still charming. Star Trek: The Motion Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Soarin's structure is probably a result of Goldsmith having to score a park ride.I would like the see the fireworks display that went with....Fireworks.

Ollie 1,053 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 The performance of Fireworks on the CD is a bit slow. I had a version downloaded on my PC that someone had recorded from a concert and it was perfromed with much more energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,019 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I haven't heard Fireworks, so I won't vote, but I must say that my first impression of Soarin' was quite good. I didn't know it was Goldsmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
