ConnieR. 0 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I had an idea fora good theme for a CD - John Williams: Marches and Fanfares. He is a master at both large and small compositions, and I think his marches from various movies are superb musical gems in their own right. And his fanfares and Olympic themes are unbeatable. I think maybe I'll make my own CD using music downloaded from emusic, etc. Does anyone have any ideas for tracks to be included? Here's my list so far:Marches: Raiders March; 1941 March; Midway March; Imperial March from Star Wars; Superman March.Fanfares: Liberty Fanfare; Olympic Spirit; Olympic Fanfare and Theme; Summon the Heroes.I know there's more, but I can't think of any right now.

Desplat13 1 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I would say that the march rendition of the force theme on "The Throne Room" would be a must. One of the best renditions of one of the best movie themes ever. And an excellent march as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruckhorn 105 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Call of the Champions (2002 Winter Olympics Theme)Celebrate DiscoverySound the BellsA Hymn to New EnglandJubilee 350 (for Boston's 350th birthday)I Love a ParadeThe Mission (theme for NBC News)and then there's his arrangement of the US National Anthemfrom films:The Slave Children's CrusadeThe Flag ParadeTheme from Hook (the ~1:40 piece that was composed for the trailer)the concert version of the Theme from Born on the Fourth of July (starts with trumpet solo and then "segues" into the end credits)Prologue from JFKThe last two (and Hymn to New England, for that matter) aren't marches or "traditional" fanfares, but might be nice to include as a change of pace.

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Do not forget the excellent yet-short-lived march from Jurassic Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 There's a march from JP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,040 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Yes, there is, though it is only stated completely in one track: "Journey to the Island". One can hear it immediately after the rendition of the "Jurassic Park Theme". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
