Luke Skywalker 1,791 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 If you had the summon of the heroes CD, you would know that Olpympic fanfare and theme includes an intro from this piece and its composer is credited... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 .....but the edit is so bad that it seemed just a litle pointless.....I would have preferred a complete recording of the Arnaud piece or a fresh recording of the Arnaud/Williams mash-up than what we got on that CD....

Luke Skywalker 1,791 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 i like it since the 1st time i heard it i didnt knew it was an edit of two different cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckM 1 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Where can we get a copy of just Williams piece, without the bugler's dream intro? (As in, what CD's include it?)All the CD's I'm aware of have the edited version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 There are a couple - the only one that I can remember off-hand is the "By Request" CD though that suffers from it's own slightly dodgy edit...I'm sure others will know of more sources though....Don't get me wrong - I like the Arnaud piece - I just don't think it's well represented on what is otherwise a good CD....

Ollie 1,059 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 By Request has it.I still have my cassette for the 1984 Summer Olympics, which has the original recording, duh . I think Miguel mentioned that a CD for the 84 games was released in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Yeah - now you mention it I remember that too....I wonder if anyone here has it? I'd like to hear it....Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williamsfan301 11 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops also did a recording of Olympic Fanfare and Theme a number of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckM 1 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 For only 89 cents on amazon, I just might have to get that "By Request" cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I love Williams' opening to "Olympic Fanfare and Theme." Could there be anything more unabashadly optimistic and uplifting than those rich brass chords? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 For only 89 cents on amazon, I just might have to get that "By Request" cd.Definetly--it is the CD that got me interested in film scores, and there's not one wasted track. Every single cue is fanastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,153 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 For only 89 cents on amazon, I just might have to get that "By Request" cd.It has Liberty Fanfare and the Cowboys Suite, those make it a must have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,624 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Williams also recorded his own adapted William-ised version of Bugler's Dream 4 years ago .The only place I heard it is the Athens Olympic internet promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 902 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 .....but the edit is so bad that it seemed just a litle pointless.....I would have preferred a complete recording of the Arnaud piece or a fresh recording of the Arnaud/Williams mash-up than what we got on that CD....Are you sure it's an edit?I've always thought it was the one recording? Not that I know for sure, but it never occured to me that the two pieces were edited.Williams performed the piece in London in 1998 and the transition sounded the same to me.

thx99 1,740 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Where can we get a copy of just Williams piece, without the bugler's dream intro? (As in, what CD's include it?)All the CD's I'm aware of have the edited version.Besides the Kunzel/Telarc version already mentioned, here are three more re-recordings of "Olympic Fanfare and Theme" without the tacked-on Arnaud/"Bugler's Dream" (all three are available from emusic's site):Gomalan Brass Quintet (self-titled CD) (link)U.S. Navy Band (CD: The Dream Goes On) (link) [CD also includes "America, The Dream Goes On")"The Massed Bands and Fanfare Trumpeters" (CD: The Music of John Williams) (link)And yes, there was a Japanese CD release of the 1984 Official Album: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
