I love this scene. You have to imagine Conan, who has lived his whole life as a slave then as a gladiator. Treated like an animal: fighting, killing and breeding for an unknown master. Finally he wins his freedom and decides to take his revenge on the people who robbed him of his family, his youth, and his humanity. Yet he is killed before he can even fight Thulsa Doom, he speaks to him for a few minutes before being discarded, crucified on the tree of woe. He comes back from the afterlife, sneaks through hell, the bowels of Doom's sanctum and then sees "paradise". To see the orgy, to see Thulsa's inner sanctum is to take a glimpse into the world Conan never knew could be possible; a place of comfort and debauchery, a life without constant pain and suffering. To confront Thulsa here then is not simply to exact revenge, it is to fight the very God that has cursed Conan to a life of restless misery. It is appropriate that the music moves from Hephaestus to Jupiter. This orgy is a glimpse of the cruelty and arrogance of the Gods, and of men like Thulsa Doom. Conan pauses for a moment, then destroys paradise.
J'ai revu le film récemment et ce qui surprend le plus c'est le rythme qui prend son temps. On ne pourrait plus faire le même film aujourd'hui. Un régal!
Because I know 40+ Greek composers that are absolute heaven, and yet only 2-3 are famous the world over. Among which one of worlds best composers of our modern era, Vangelis
@@monan97 This piece may have taken inspiration from Holst's work, as well of other parts of the Conan soundtrack, but they are certainly distinct enough to be considered their own thing.
The saddest thing or lost to the seasons of this world theres really hasn't been such an amazing work like this of modern era really in music like this or such in this composer style and musician luckily blessed is our ears with after this piece and it was all done for a mire film also and R.I.P. Basil.☁️🗡💜👑☁️🍷☁️
I am 41 years of age. All I can say is just another film and score from the epitome of cinematic and musical brilliance - only found in the 1980's!! Seen the film countless times - a rich melody for a rather bleak and didactic scene personifying a grotesque element. Solid cast and epic plot!! Love my 80's!
Love this track and love the fact that his daughter helped him out on it. Every time you hear the French horns piping in,that was her on her flute I believe.
A friend of a friend was into all kinds of music and I owe Alec a nod for honing my taste, but I remember taking bong hits in his basement listening to this cd. I was a huge fan of the movie but had never just listened to the soundtrack. This song blew me away and to this day it’s the first thing I think of about this awesome movie. Good times.
I think the composer *must* have drawn at least some inspiration from "Bolero" for this piece since there is a similar emphasis on a repeating underlying motif which is very sensual and which gradually builds in intensity.
Now after rewatching the movie after 25 years its one of my favorites again.What a hypnotic nostalgic song.Even after so many years this scene was stuck in my head because of the music.
I can't stop to move my hips with this amazing piece, i love it from the first time i heard it, one of my fave scenes of all the times, i wanted to be one of the Talsadum adepts😉
This music being played increasingly louder as Conan and his D&D party penetrated the castle defenses... then the epic fight with Conan vs Bombassa...TO THIS MUSIC....WAS MY CHILDHOOD. "Ummm beloved i think theyre talking about the other-" SILENCE! destroyer was my childhood nostalgia i didnt get to see the other till i was 18
I'm imagining Valeria wistfully tapping her sword as she confronts a 1v2 situation - then gracefully dispatches both opponents while performing a ballet like pirohuette leap... good times.
Estou para ver uma musica que expressa com tanta riqueza de detalhes o que se passou numa cena que eu considero um apogeu do gênero uma coisa soberba num misto de fantasia e realidade que causa assombro em quem vê !! Incrível espetacular fantastico!!!
I am born 1995 never saw the film but fell on this song casually . I listened this song while hiking a mountain in greece Hydra ... best moment of my life until now reaching the mountain with that song on and on ❤
Film glorioso con un cast eccezionale nel suo lavoro cosa differente dal 2o. Prodotto da delaurentis per me e' un orgoglio ke gli italiano abbiano investito in questopera. La musica? Di un altro livello la sua importanza e' fondamentale con altre musiche conan diventerebbe altro. Sono innamorato completamente e l'attrice anche pronunciando 4 frasi parla con corpo , veramente una marcia in più, mako? Muoio quando si cacasotto dopo aver evocato gli spiriti, le sue urla e gemiti di terrore mi mettono sempre una strana eufonia. Emozioni, grazie poleduris.
I've always loved this movie, this soundtrack, and this song especially. It's such a unique piece of music. This track and "Theology/Civilization" are the two that feel "off" as they are in 3/4 time (waltzes), rather than most of the rest which is in 4/4 (standard time). It immediately tells you that this is unfamiliar for Conan, who has only know loneliness, death, and misery. The tone of this track is something I can only describe as "perverse whimsy", with the low brass suggesting a circus, the cymbals suggesting a grand Roman parade in celebration of defeating a great enemy. It's the height of spectacle and debauchery, with the airy woodwinds playful, teasing, and hiding the darkness increasingly hinted at by the brass and timpani as the song climaxes.
Можно назвать это произведение "Вальс Шадизара" , т. к по форме это действительно вальс , а Шадизар - это город в котором происходит действие фильма , или Шадизарский вальс - очень красивая мелодия ! Гений Бэзила Полидуриса создал такой шедевр ! ❤❤❤
I want someone to use this in their figure skating routine and see how they interpret it. The key is to listen to the music. I bet no one can do it. It can be the new "Bolero"
It sounds enough like "Bolero" in the refrain (leitmotif?), that I confused the two when I was younger. Now, I think it's a brilliant homage to that piece. His brilliance does deserve exposure to a wider audience. I'd love to see an ice dance or pairs team perform to this piece. Do Anvil of Crom in the earlier rounds!
Read a long time ago that Dino De Laurentis wanted the soundtrack of Conan to tell more of a story than the actual dialogue. I think there's merit to that statement.
Music reminds me of my uncle Charlie masterfully whistling this instrumental 24hrs all day after my sisters and I watched this movie.. .and became one of my favorite soundtrack ..classic movie.:)
Just try to imagine a modern movie having such a strong soundtrack like this, it just doesn't happen anymore.
"modern movies" lol is there such a thing without capes?
Impossible to replicate this. However, Guardians of the Galaxy did well! Although it was actually songs.
@@SB-qm5wg yeah, lots, take a look.
theres a lot.. john williams., michael giacchino . james howard...
Kingdom of heaven OST is amazing.

Great comment.
Also this song is real catchy!

Ahh. A fellow fan of Robert Jordan's Conan books? Well said great comment
Me too!!!!
So this is paradise !!

This shit soooooo hard💯💪🏾80's baby

Basil Poledouris was a GENIUS! The world lost a great talent when he died in 2006. RIP, Maestro.
geeniuusssss, master. SUPERB soundtrack ! SUPERB
Its a rip off
One of the most bewitching score ever composed !
How on earth did I get 35 years old without having heard this MASTERPIECE even once, until some days before?!?! Cannot stop listening to it ~
Because I know 40+ Greek composers that are absolute heaven, and yet only 2-3 are famous the world over. Among which one of worlds best composers of our modern era, Vangelis
better late than never!
One of usssssssssss.
This is a super tune. Very addictive
That is the true riddle of steel.
After all these years this masterpiece is still so hinoptically addictive
Yes!
Played this at my wedding when we told the reception the Bar was open. Half the guests got the joke. ... Half of the ones old enough to see the movie.
Fucking epic man!
Based moves.
That's awesome!
Haahah my guy ..love it
Pure gold
His has to be the greatest soundtrack to a movie ever by basil poledouris.!!!!
I love that when you listen to it, you can still picture the entire scene
Esactly
One, if not the best soundtrack EVER RECORDED RIP BASIL POLEDOURIS
100% correct
Basil is such an underrated composer....this is one my favourite works by him❤
This wasn’t by Basil. Listen to Jupiter of Jollity by Holst. Holst died over 40 years before this was used in Conan.
@@monan97 This piece may have taken inspiration from Holst's work, as well of other parts of the Conan soundtrack, but they are certainly distinct enough to be considered their own thing.
The saddest thing or lost to the seasons of this world theres really hasn't been such an amazing work like this of modern era really in music like this or such in this composer style and musician luckily blessed is our ears with after this piece and it was all done for a mire film also and R.I.P.

turning 38 and made in the year i was born, 1982 was an amazing year for sci-fi and fantasy
My fave peice of music from the whole movie ^_^
Love this track and love the fact that his daughter helped him out on it. Every time you hear the French horns piping in,that was her on her flute I believe.
That's true! She has the honor of being the youngest credited composer in BMI music's history I think.
The 80's was a the pinnacle decade for the greatest orgy of cinematic musical bliss!!
Agreed. I grew up in that time period too. Bliss brother!
Long live the 1980s!
This is so grandiose that words totally fail to convey how awesome it is.
Agreed ❤ 🎉
Word :)
Basil was an musical genius at this piece of art creation.💜✨🌌👑
This is the greatest film soundtrack ever composed. Unbelievable how it got overlooked.
A friend of a friend was into all kinds of music and I owe Alec a nod for honing my taste, but I remember taking bong hits in his basement listening to this cd. I was a huge fan of the movie but had never just listened to the soundtrack. This song blew me away and to this day it’s the first thing I think of about this awesome movie. Good times.
One of my fave tracks in the soundtrack, such a glorious fantasy soundtrack
This one and Riddle of Steel are amazing.
"So this is paradise."
RIP James Earl Jones
I’ve loved this ever since I was a kid
Same here.
When those French horns kick in, I get just goosebumps. Beautiful. 🎶🎵
How beautiful this is! It's like a paradise to my ears and my mind❤
Conan won't cry so I cry for him.
Simplicity at its best. At least it sounds simple...Totally mesmerizing, exquisite and brilliant. Thank you Basil !
This is the sound of heaven...❤
So this is paradise?😃👍
Yes
Or Hell
@@georgeesquivel2517A false paradise.
that's the intermezzo from Raging Bull, but this is for when the gates open!
Quelle musique extraordinaire chaque thème musical est en parfait harmonie avec l'histoire du film. Un chef d'oeuvre!
Legendary score ever👏👏👏
Basil, you live in us❤
Polidorius, MASTER of music... The Mysticism and epicness in this whole soundtrack is beyond words... Absolutely magical, the mind of a genius
The composer Poledouris created fantastic - iconic music and its presentation in the movie "Conan" made both a success. Thanks for the presentation...
Borrowed from Holst. But so did many others...
I play this when I make a sickly green stew composed of human body parts.
And was it tasty?
Extra hands for me
This is why I don’t get to the cloud district very often.
Well, I’m not going to the cloud district anytime soon.
Is that what people eat at the cloud district?
Entre Boléro de Ravel et Carmina Burana De Karl Off . magnifique symphonie qui evoque les images génial de Milius : Conan
it's a great piece of music
This song its pure art
Best soundtrack I've ever heard
I feel I'm going to turn into a snake.
+aercastro82 It's too late to reticulate on me now :)
+aercastro82
Nice nickname, born 82 like you are. 82 was a great year for movies.
Rechid serpent
I'm on the look out for a good movie? Something with crime or seduction
Poor Aercastro82 is a snake by now. Hope they learned Parcel tounge!!! :x
I brought the sound track all them years ago and still listen to it when I relax love it ❤
Mongol General: What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
That is good !
This is an amazing soundtrack, and this in particular an amazing piece. Right up there with Ravel's "Bolero" for sheer carnal voluptuousness.
I think the composer *must* have drawn at least some inspiration from "Bolero" for this piece since there is a similar emphasis on a repeating underlying motif which is very sensual and which gradually builds in intensity.
Eargasm....
Really beautiful
an incredibly good masterpiece. I am very grateful that there are such good composers
Best track on all the soundtrack, EPIC!!!
Conan,…I will Never get tired ,…The Movie and the Soundtrack 👍🈁
After 30 years of having seen the escene (as a teen boy) this music brings to me a bunch of memories…so strong is the power of music!!
Nice little waltz
1:42 is just gorgeous, gives me chills
THANK YOU!! I have always loved this track, and thought it sounds like something that would be played at a royal ball, actually, lol! Very waltz-like.
YES!
Now after rewatching the movie after 25 years its one of my favorites again.What a hypnotic nostalgic song.Even after so many years this scene was stuck in my head because of the music.
i always play this whenever i have the urge to turn into a giant snake
What a wonderful piece of music!
Thank you so much.
When this was played at a friends party we all got together and tried out a dance routine and went down a storm everybody loved it.
Perfect piece of music for the scene.
One of the finest movie soundtracks of all time!
I can't stop to move my hips with this amazing piece, i love it from the first time i heard it, one of my fave scenes of all the times, i wanted to be one of the Talsadum adepts😉
This music being played increasingly louder as Conan and his D&D party penetrated the castle defenses... then the epic fight with Conan vs Bombassa...TO THIS MUSIC....WAS MY CHILDHOOD.
"Ummm beloved i think theyre talking about the other-"
SILENCE!
destroyer was my childhood nostalgia i didnt get to see the other till i was 18
Beautiful
Magnific Song.
Scene too!!!!!
Ohhh! It's two out of three! We're in the black!!
My favorite song the scene Conan.
Very beautiful & hypnotic.
I'm going in a trance.
Amazing Song. Great Movie!!!!
I'm imagining Valeria wistfully tapping her sword as she confronts a 1v2 situation - then gracefully dispatches both opponents while performing a ballet like pirohuette leap... good times.
One of my favorite scores ❤️ Conan the Barbarian... wonderful story
A great song. I never get tired of playing it.
Non smetterei mai di ascoltarla chi non ama il cinema e le avventure e favole non può capire
Dios mio.....bella melodia...hasta yo me siento un guerrero !!!
One of the best soundtracks ever made
Estou para ver uma musica que expressa com tanta riqueza de detalhes o que se passou numa cena que eu considero um apogeu do gênero uma coisa soberba num misto de fantasia e realidade que causa assombro em quem vê !! Incrível espetacular fantastico!!!

I listened this song while hiking a mountain in greece Hydra ... best moment of my life until now reaching the mountain with that song on and on ❤
BRAVO!!! Glad I found this
Just fantastic music.
Will play that on my next birthday party! ;-)

2:35 Music written and produced in 60's 70's and 80's now cannot be written and produced ever again.
A wonderful piece of music. In my top 5 soundtrack pieces,
Great piece of music
Majestically epic!
Bellísima, muchos años quise saber como se llamaba. Y volverla a escuchar. Gracias 😌
It's a dark waltz
I thought it was written 200...years ago by some French or European composer.....
Truly very nice
THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING!!! I love this piece soooooo much. Always a Poleudoris fan!
I'm probably the only one whose first thought upon hearing this music is Jehnna's sacrifice and Conan vs. Bombaata. A little Destroyer love? Anyone?
Yes it's the same music
It twists and turns!!!
It's the only OST that i know most of its themes by tittle.
I want someone to use this in their figure skating routine and see how they interpret it. The key is to listen to the music. I bet no one can do it. It can be the new "Bolero"
I’d rather see some figure skating to the Anvil of Crom. 🤘😬🤘
It would be wonderful for a ice skating performance.
Skating: Good idea. Still wanna see 'em Waltz to this on DwtS or SYTYCD ;-)
It sounds enough like "Bolero" in the refrain (leitmotif?), that I confused the two when I was younger. Now, I think it's a brilliant homage to that piece.
