Thor 7,478 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I couldn't find any previous thread on this fanfare.In any case, I stumbled over a new performance of this piece in the Thursday Live program of the Norwegian Radio Orchestra (Kringkastingsorkesteret), which is different enough from all the other versions out there (slightly slower and more regal) that I thought it might be interesting to you.Hopefully, you can play this in your country, but it's the first piece played in the program after the introduction:http://radio.nrk.no/serie/paa-konsert-p2/MKMK07004114/09-10-2014 indy4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdwardHall 30 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Thank you, Thor. I never thought the character of this piece could be affected so much by decreasing its tempo. The two recordings which most people hear, made by Keith Lockhart and John Williams' both with the Boston Pops, actually sound very similar. I think John Williams' older recording is analog, though.

Amer 2,080 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I was catching up with this fanfare a few days ago. It seems I only have this recording on my BY REQUEST Best of JW Boston Pops cd only. Whereas its nowhere to be found on various other Williams SONY compilation albums, Even though most of the fanfares (including the Olympics) were reprised on many of their albums and even sport new recordings. Did I miss this or is it the only Boston Pops recording to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The Liberty Fanfare has been recorded by Keith Lockhart and Boston Pops at least on the A Splash of Pops album in 1999. Tracklist 1 The Star-Spangled Banner 2 Liberty Fanfare 3 Doodletown Fifers 4 Overture To State Fair 5 America 6 Lift Every Voice And Sing 7 With Voices Raised 8 National Emblem March 9 Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy 10 America The Beautiful 11 1812 Overture 12 The Stars And Stripes Forever Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,478 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Alas, the concert in my original link (first post) has now been removed. I didn't even remember to download it myself (nor was there any option to). Did anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 1,743 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I have three versions: By Request - JW/BPO American Jubilee - Kunzel/CPO The Best of John Williams - Hayman/PRO The latter was the first time I heard of this piece, along with The Olympic Fanfare and The Mission.

Marian Schedenig 8,178 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I have the same three. By Request remains my favourite, because I adore the middle section, which doesn't sound so noble in the Kunzel version. (I don't remember the Hayman, but I'm sure it's as awful as the rest of that CD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 This a truncated version (only the opening couple of minutes) but I love this wind band recording by the President's Own. A majestic performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amer 2,080 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Iam just surprised there is only one recording from Williams own performance and that on an early Bostopn Pops album. Whereas there at least 2 new recordings of the Liberty Fanfare out there which was used in many of the Sony Classical albums(besides The Boston Pops which has the first recording) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amer 2,080 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I love the ostinato bridge in this fanfare. Williams reprises the same in his SPACE CAMP End Title theme of course. I wonder if SPACE CAMP material was actually composed much earlier. Could it have been an alternate which Williams would revive and reuse for the ill fated movie.

nadeama 8 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Okay, but seriously about the inauguration: what is this that I'm hearing starting at 2:42:22 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UXYMPTdC40 I seem to recognize a certain composer's style but I don't know what it is.

What a great time capsule and exactly what Youtube is best used for, as an archive for this kind of material.
