Durban Sandshark Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 julian scott rocks Julian Scott does indeed rock in his Athens score. That was IMHO one of the best Olympic scores around. It is indeed a shame that we are not likely getting the official score to Athens and the medal ceremony. Do plan to get the Sydney 2000 Opening Ceremony soundtrack in the future. Wonder will we see a re-release of the LA 84 soundtrack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best soundtrack in Olympic History. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durban Sandshark Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Who was the composer again for the medal ceremonies? Thank you... More Giannis (or Yiannis defending on the spelling) Kotsiras (and a little bit of Tarkan) with the video (actually two) to "Pass The Flame", the official Athens 2004 Torch Song: English Version How come Giannis didn't sing it during the torch arrival instead of the pre-show? Apologies if this was already shown. My fave track from DJ Tiesto during the Opening Ceremony is "Heroes". This track was also used, if you're an Aussie soccer fan, for the opening graphics for the memorable World Cup qualifier second leg between the Socceroos and Uruguay on SBS (I have the DVD copy of that telecast someone gave me in the mail last year). Hope to get the Parade of Nations album soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he didnt sing, Dimitris Papaioannou didnt want to use songs as he had said. Heroes is my favorite too but also Olympic flame.From then I bought many cds of Tiesto!

Heroes is my favorite too but also Olympic flame.From then I bought many cds of Tiesto! I dont think it was John Psathas, interestingly, he was selected as a major composer of the ceremonies after the organisers heard his composition he dd for the opening of Te Papa: The Museum of New Zealand. Back to the medal ceremony music though, I loved it too. Actually, the last two summer Olympics have had awesome music for that moment, with Sydney's *call to glory* by Greg Bowman. I also heard or read that Nikos wrote the Athens music. From memory, I think it was titled *the Music Calls* or something like that. Both that and Greg's piece were so stirring and appropriate for that moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christos Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Have you got this music from Sydney? I'm trying to remember it but I can't.... From Athens I did a mp3 from medal ceremony of the marathon.Just to take a taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Have you got this music from Sydney? I'm trying to remember it but I can't....From Athens I did a mp3 from medal ceremony of the marathon.Just to take a taste Here are two YouTube videos where you can hear the Sydney medal ceremony music in the background. The first video with the women's 200 m breaststroke medal ceremony maybe gives you a better impression of the tune -- although the Hungarian commentator is talking almost all the time. So turn up your speakers. Women's Tennis Singles Medal Ceremony (Sydney 2000) But in terms of a file of the tune: I'm afraid there is none. As far as I know, it was never published on CD.

christos Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks for these Olympian.You're right he's speaking all the time difficult to hear it clear. The music used in Atlanta was good too, I still remember it! It was the first time that I watched Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Does anyone have the Torino cauldron theme? It's here, freely downloadable from the Torino 2006 website: Medal ceremony (and cauldron lighting) music In case the link doesn't work: You can find it at the bottom of the Torino 2006 website, below the headline "Discover also...". It's called "The Medals Awards accompanying music". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christos Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Sorry if it's already posted.I found a site about 1980 Moscow and has music too.Check the 7th line http://80.ruz.net/index.htm but it's in russian, I can't understand anyone to help?

Olympian2004 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Well, I don't speak Russian and can hardly read Cyrillic letters -- but I clicked through the different sound files and I only recognise two of the songs: Nr. 6 ("ДО СВИДАНЬЯ, МОСКВА") is the song played when Misha soars up to the sky at the closing ceremony. Nr. 16 ("СТАДИОН МОЕЙ МЕЧТЫ") was used at the opening and the closing ceremony -- for example in the official movie, when the athletes enter the stadium for the closing ceremony. The other songs sound like pretty random Russian disco/ballad/Schlager stuff -- although it certainly has some connection to the Olympic Games. One song, for example, is called "Marathon" (Nr. 10). You can read the names of the songs in Latin letters in the address line of your browser when you click on the mp3 symbol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattygs Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Awesome mate, thanks for that. Where did you get that from? as it doesnt sound like it was a live rip, but instead a soundtrack. Were any other parts of the ceremony soundtrack put out on various cds, apart from Oceania by Bjork? It would be awesome to find the Zembekiko, and the double helix music live, aswell as Peristeri from the end. But I havent been able to track those down.

christos Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I think that is ripped too (not sure though) Nothing was released on cd unfortunately, but I ripped many parts from the ceremony, I have those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
