- Alexander Courage & John Williams - Superman IV Theme [Extended by Gilles Nuytens]
This is an extended version of the main theme of the movie « Superman IV: The Quest For Peace » (1987) by John Williams & Alexander Courage. This is the original music, extended by myself from the original soundtrack.

Superman 4's one saving grace was it's soundtrack.
The movie may have been a commercial failure, but it is a good movie to some fans out there. I already failed to see why this movie was a failure. I almost don’t see why they say this movie was bad.
I agree. I don't see why it was bad. Maybe because of the nuclear disarmament theme, which the powers that be that want us to live in fear, don't like? The movie may have been silly and corny but it was entertaining and funny. At least it should be in the "so bad that it's good" category.
That opening part is awesome
Regardless of the film, Superman 4 iconic theme still rocks and love the intro horn melody when they show the WB logo prior to commencing the film.
Doesn't matter if the movie wasn't good. It gets a pass because it had Christopher Reeve.
Beautiful ❤
Super brilliant arrangement!!!!!
I would just like to say thank you. You do a very, very professional job artistically and mechanically recreating some of the greatest music from film from my childhood.
America's Greatest Superhero! ⭐👍🙏🇺🇸❤️🌎🦸
Alexander Courage and Arthur Morton were the orchestrators on Superman, which is funny since they were the regular orchestrators for Jerry Goldsmith for almost 50 years.
Goldsmith was the original choice of composer for *Superman* until production delays led to Williams taking over, and eventually scored *Supergirl.* So he was always connected to the Superman universe in some way.
@@reidmason2551 I am well aware, Goldsmith would have written a good score.
Huh never realized it until now this version of the theme has small bits of 80s horror tension based chords.
I always thought that all of the themes until man of steel were the same only slightly changed.
The extra notes sound like the movie is about superman fighting a stranger things like creature or a 80s slasher that somehow could take on superman.
It's kind of a interesting idea actually.. 🤔🤔
Wes Craven was invited to direct this film early on, but bowed out due to clashes with Christopher Reeve. So the slasher film villain connection with Nuclear Man could have been even more pronounced had Craven stayed on.
Love it
I am always stunned how good this soundtrack is outside of the context of the movie -- somehow they screwed up the sound mix along with everything else. I remember seeing it in a the theater and our entire family, if not the audience, knew something off seconds into the credits.
It's interesting to hear how Thorne and Courage played with the theme. Courage's end arrangement, sticks very close to the original - until the last 21 seconds

The people/movie musicians did an amazing job composing every theme from Superman
John Williams composed Superman
Ken Thorne composed Superman 2 and Superman 3.
Alexander Courage composed Superman 4: The Quest for Peace
Jon Ottman composed Superman Returns
Hans Zimmer composed Man of Steel
Sir, You Have Once Again, Have Outdone Yourself!!! May You Have Continued Success.
Best movie ever. Best theme ever. Best message movie ever. Best SFX movie ever. Best hot journalist movie ever.
Pura nostalgia
Recorded with the Graunke Orchestra and the National Philharmonic I believe.
True. The National Philharmonic performed most of the action music cues as the Graunke wasn't used to the hectic pacing. When they performed the score for *Masters of the Universe,* composer Bill Conti edited the final score together from different takes for the same reason.
@@reidmason2551 Yes and Jerry Goldsmith found them impossible to work with on Total Recall.

Hi Gilles,
You make very good extended versions of available soundtracks.
I have a question:
What about all those complete Film music what is not available and what will never be available?
There are also many short versions of good film music and TV series music what will never be published on vinyl or CD.
I think, that a lot of them need much attention for becoming much more famous as only a small part in a movie or as only to be a short intro or outro music.
I waited 35 years for the soundtrack of 'The Executor - Der Vollstrecker (1983)' and when it came out, it was on vinyl. But I have no record player since long time. So I have to wait another 35 years until a CD of this soundtrack comes out?
For example: The movie 'Return to Salems lot' has a brilliant intro music, but the soundtrack was never published in original version. Many years ago a TH-camr made a techno-version of the melody of this intro. And an other TH-camr created this melody new and slower with his sound machine.
Both versions are very good. But it would be also very nice to hear this original song in a large version what was made in the lenght of what you make your extended versions. If the only way would be to take the music out of the movie, then it is so.
This is only one example song about I write here, but there is much other rare film music what needs a lot more of attention.
Long ago I took the intro and outro music of the movie 'Munchie' and I put them together as a long 'Munchie version' and I called it 'Soundtrack', because a vinyl or CD did never exist of the original short ones. I think, this was a simple trick, but it worked.
Here it is:
Munchie Strikes Back (1994) / Soundtrack (Music By Chuck Cirino)

Gilles, I hope I got your interest also for searching for good unpublished film music and for making it a little bit better in a remixed and longer version.
best greetings from Germany
PS: The profile picture of your channel looks brilliant.
I think that most of the 'famous' actors in the world would become jealous if they would see it 😃
Hello. Yes, a lot of good (and less good) soundtracks are still unreleased unfortunately. There's not much I can do about that. I already tried to contact many of the composers of some of these "lost" soundtracks but it's really a pain in the ass because almost nobody has the politeness to even reply. And the very rare few that reply usually answer by the negative. They don't have it "anymore" (which I sincerely doubt... seriously, a composer won't keep a copy of his own work?? I have pain to believe that. They may have "lost it", maybe, it can happen tough), they can't or don't have the permission or even they don't want to share it (or they have it on their original master but don't want to digitalise it).
As for the so called "complete scores" or "Recording sessions", I have no idea where some people get that... But it's sometimes very useful for the extended versions I do. Using alternative versions to avoid too much repeats in the track.
Note: I had contacts with Chuck Cirino. He usually answers. Munchie is actually available to buy here: buysoundtrax.myshopify.com/collections/new-releases-home/products/munchie-original-soundtrack-by-chuck-cirino-cd-comes-with-digital-download-24-bit-wav-mp3-and-digital-pdf
@@GillesNuytens Thank you very much for your long reply.
And also for the link to the soundtrack of Munchie.
This will be a helpful positive information.
I will try to get the CD of Munchie and I hope that it will make no problems with payment and delivery because I live in Germany.
@@Foxes_Forever You can also buy the digital version if you prefer, I think it's available too.
@@GillesNuytens ok, thank you.
The same Munchie-music was also used in the movie 'Mom, can I keep her'.
Sometimes they use the same soundtracks in different movies.
Your long version of Critter Skitter is excellent.
In Germany the normal Soundtrack came out when the movie was decades old and I bought the CD only because this one song. Your long version of it made it perfect now.
There are a lot of remixed songs on your channel and it will take me a long time to listen all of them. You have a good taste which songs are worth to use for making it a little bit or much more better and longer.
Here is a tip of a single song of a movie with a special good melody what you maybe will like, if you did not know the song before. The melody appears 2 times in this song, but this is definitive too short. The complete song runs only 2: 32 on CD.
It's from 'Escape from the planet of the apes' - This song is unusual for a soundtrack of the old 5 apes movies, because it is complete different to the other ape tracks.
Here on youtube is this song as the first one in a compilation with other songs of the movie.

@Marty McFly II OK. Thank you Marty.
Great music, even if that film was a disaster for the Reeve's franchise ! Thanks to John Williams and Alexander Courage. Rest in peace, Christopher Reeve, the only Superman.
What themes you use to make this
He probably used songs from the offical Superman 4 soundtrack and mixed them all to fit together
Interesting. Sounds lovely.
Would it be possible to do the same for, say, the opening title to BBCs classic series Red Dwarf?
I have tried to use TH-cam ’a slowdown function, which is terrible, but shows that the tune has serious potential - it really suffers from having to conform to the demands of its time for OP & ED theme lenght.
How you extend the movie themes?
With Audacity. It depends of each track. If possible, I use some other tracks with the same melody, if not I reuse some elements of the same track.
@@GillesNuytens ok,i understand,can i ask you a request,can you do jurassic park theme extended
That's a good choice. Maybe some day. Not right now tough.
@@GillesNuytens ok
I don't see why this movie was bad. Maybe because of the nuclear disarmament theme, which the powers that be that want us to live in fear, don't like? The movie may have been silly and corny but it was entertaining and funny. At least it should be in the "so bad that it's good" category.
The production values had slipped already on 3, but those 'comic' credits compared to 1+2 were an insult - plus reusing the same discolored stock still of Reeve flying at camera over and over
I thought Superman four was great!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹☃️☃️☃️☃️🎄🎄🎄🎄
Too bad that script was crap, like with Great Wall.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just like “Jaws: The Revenge”, It’s a terrible film but has a fantastic soundtrack.
Sounds like the 2016/17 Berserk anime "a terrible adaptation but with a fire soundtrack"
I like superman 4 I thought 3 was terrible 🙄
I agree. Both movies are terrible but at least Superman IV actually felt like a Superman movie whereas Supeman III was more of a Richard Pryor parody sketch.
