Maestro 147 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I've been away from the board for several months, and nothing seemed to surface when I did a search for this. Is our boy going to compose anything for the upcoming Olympics in February? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 ok I'll give you that, but he's incapable of surpassing the 84 theme, though some here disagree. The 84 LA Olympic theme is among his absolute greatest works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Actually Howard Shore composed a new theme for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics:http://themusicofthelordoftheringsfilms.blogspot.com/2009/01/believe-hear-howard-shores-olympic.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 That's correct. I forgot about that. I believe it was mentioned on his website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglorfin 196 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The 84 LA Olympic theme is among his absolute greatest works.The one from Seoul 1988 is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 do we need one? NoI think Summon the Heroes and Call of the Champions proved that. Good? Certainly. Same feeling of Olympian grandeur inspired by the 1984 and 1988 themes? Not quite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Yeah, all the olympic themes are good, if not great. But the 1984 fanfare/theme (with the ORIGINAL intro, not "Bugler's Dream") is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
