mattygs 274 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Not a direct link here, but I managed to find the memorable Olympic Welcome Joik from the Opening Ceremony of Lillehammer 94. Search on iTunes *Dalveleaikkat* by Nils-Aslak Valkeapaa . While you're there, check out Fanitullen (the version from Sigbjorn Bernhoft Osa), another piece from the opening folk segment of the Opening Ceremony. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Schilfi 0 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hi! Somebody has posted the link to the Athens Medal Ceremony music. Unfortunately this link is down... I think this great song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfI_90jcpy4 Could anybody upload this song again please? Thanks a lot! With best regards Schilfi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Olympian2004 511 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Now this is a big treat -- the complete soundtrack for the Beijing opening ceremony. It was never released for sale but only given as a present to some VIPs who attended the opening ceremony. Some sold the soundtrack on Ebay and from there it found its way via an "anonymous source" to the guy who uploaded it on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/OlympicsBeijing2008/videos This is still my favourite piece from the opening ceremony's score - so simple and emotional. Great to hear it without cheers and TV commentators talking: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's 3 discs worth of music, 320 kbps mp3. There's actually a bunch of official and unofficial albums for Beijing 2008 floating around out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hiroamorim 31 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 From Sydney 2000 OC The Warriors - Percy Grainger During the cauldron journey to the final position on the stadium top, this piece was played just after Tibi Omnes finished.

Ikarus360 599 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 ^^ Memorable piece. I kinda disliked they didn't included "The Warriors" in the Sydney 2000 official OST like the rest of the tracks, since it was for me one of the most climatic songs ever, when the Cauldron was rising (even if it was unintentional, since the plan was for the Cauldron to finish setting up as soon as Tibi Omnis ended XD) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phandrosis 171 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I don't know if this has been posted since this thread has been sleepy time for a while, but I really like this one from Moscow 1980. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TorchbearerSydney 247 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 From Sydney 2000 OC The Warriors - Percy Grainger During the cauldron journey to the final position on the stadium top, this piece was played just after Tibi Omnes finished. Start at 15:40 THANK YOU - I have been wondering for 14 years (TODAY) what this music was, and why there was no Grainger at the Opening- and now I know. Fantastic piece of music, and fantastic piece of Australian musically history from our greatest classical composer. HAPPY 14th SYDNEY- I rode my bike to work along the faded blue marathon line this morning, rode down the finishing straight of the road races and had some very fond memories.

Start at 15:40 Great find, thank you! Just like Torchbearer, I wondered all those years which piece that was - and it's truly a magnificent one, now that I can listen to it in its entirety. It was never really mentioned in all those articles and other texts written about Sydney's opening ceremony, which is a shame because Percy Grainger (even if I have to admit that I didn't know his name until now) seems to have been one of the most important Australian composers. The ballet has never been performed with this original scenario, but as Grainger scholar Alessandro Servadei says, “I think Graeme Murphy would have a field day!” The Warriors also got unexpected exposure at the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics, says Servadei, when “the MSO recording of The Warriors was substituted at the last moment when the cauldron got stuck and the pre-recorded music ran out!” - See more at: http://www.limelightmagazine.com.au/Article/261050,percy-grainger-s-hall-of-mirrors.aspx#sthash.9SD4o9sM.dpuf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattygs 274 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Olympic music related. Jemma Rix, who plays Elphaba in the Australian cast/NZ/Asian cast of Wicked, belted out Heroes Live Forever at yesterday's Melbourne Cup. I've thought Jemma was amazing since she starred as Elphaba, and this is a pretty good version I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TorchbearerAA 9 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 First there was a video on Youtube with pictures of the Sydney 2000 OTR and sung by a man (so not the song by Tina Arena). After it was removed from Youtube never found this song again. Anyone remember this song and can you give me the name (or place where to find the video now)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baron-pierreIV 1693 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Notes from the Sochi 2014 Media Guide for Closing Ceremony (c/o TNMP) Music ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ was composed in 1946 by Dimitri Tiomkin (1894-1979). Tiomkin studied at the St Petersburg Conservatory, where he crossed paths with Prokofiev, and went on to worldwide fame as a composer of Hollywood film scores. He wrote the music for more than 100 films, won four Academy Awards (including two for High Noon) and received 22 nominations (including Best Foreign Language Film for his production of Tchaikovsky starring Innokenty Smoktunovsky). Music in this segment includes two film scores by Dimitri Tiomkin (1894-1979): ‘Cyrano de Bergerac’composed in 1950 and ‘Giant’ composed in 1956. My added research: The score for "It's A Wonderful Life" was originally a symphonic treatment; but director Frank Capra rejected that treatment and so, Tiomkin's original scoring is finally heard at the Closing, and given its world debut, after 68 years. Maybe more later... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
