I first heard this piece as part of Paul Wylie's free skate at the 1992 Olympics as a kid. I thought is was the most beautiful classical music I had ever heard. I never knew where it came from but the melody was always in the back of my mind. I search for years and never connected it with the free skate program. Today was the day that I connected the dots and I am so happy.
Out of curiosity, I watched the Wylie free skate. Toward the end of the program, it inexplicably switched from this magnificent Doyle work to Saint Saens's (also magnificent) Organ Symphony.
I love it when that happens! I used to watch a lot of gymnastics and figure skating as a kid and every once in awhile I find a piece that I recognize from a routine. It always makes me very happy, too!
@@gutsfinky Sadly today it seems like figure skating is all about the quad jumps (although the Japanese guy Yuzuru had both jumps and artistry) and gymnastic with the code of points the artistry is missing for some of the athletes. I feel like music is an important part of a routine. in skating and the floor routine. I believe that's why that song stayed with me all this time.
Thanks for reminding me. I first heard it in a big airport, between planes, and found the store that controlled the music for the airport, just in time to get the info, and catch my 3000 mile flight. It played in my head the whole flight. Then I bought it. •Then a year later, I saw Paul Wylie win the silver medal skating to it. Then for 20 years I looked for a video of just the skating and the music, no commentary over it. I found it on some bootleg channel (only one TV network had legal rights to record it). •Most ecstatic performance ever. Have you ever seen the movie it was written for? Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V, The St. Crispin’s day speech. Shakespeare’s words with the music are as ecstatic as the skating and music, and as ecstatic as the music by itself. It was Patrick Doyle’s first movie score. 🎉 ✨
Aside from the inspirational St. Crispian's Day sequence in the middle, I love the stark opening drum roll. It shows that Henry V is a medieval warlike king who won't hesitate to get his hands dirty
I remember being a teenager and waiting 10 minutes for that part at 9:50 with my walkman volume all the way up. Id rewind it over and over again and cry, I was dealing with alot of abuse in my home and this song was my peace
It's an amazing experience when art or music touches you that strongly. I don't know that everyone is capable of that depth of feeling. But I'm glad some of us are.
This soundtrack is amazing, but remember that The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly wasn't nominated, and neither was Spirited Away. I'd say those have greater soundtracks.
I’m here in 2019 after watching the trailer for the movie with Timotheé Chalamet. As much as I admire him and how I wish he won for “Call Me By Your Name”, there is no comparison to Branagh, who should have won an Oscar for his Directing and Acting. He understands Shakespeare so well and should have been recognized already for his efforts. This score is also just one of the most uplifting and inspiring I’ve ever heard. Beautiful film all through out. -a fan from the Philippines
Aye man, he looks too boyish to be a battle-hardened medieval king, Branagh had the right balance of youthful looks and ruggedness, although one thing all productions seem to neglect is the big scar on the right side of his face.
Amazingly mature, considering this was Doyle's first full soundtrack work. Inevitably compared to Walton's superb music for Olivier's Henry V, but I prefer this and play the whole album as a suite. Overlooked by the Oscars but that's nothing new.
Doyle is brilliant. Wonderful, impressionistic music, laced with great melodies. I recommend his score for Hamlet (another classic Branagh Shakespeare adaptation) too, if you have not heard it. Another masterpiece.
@@inuyashason81 Good question. Certainly, for me, if ever faced with a battle for survival, against overwhelming odds, it may as well be with Shakespeare's Crispin's Day speech and this music ringing in my ears.
People forget or ignore the ending of this soundtrack: the piece played during the battle scene, just amazing, so sad and cruel when men kill each other in the middle of the mud and the french Boss says: nothing but shame
... I see you stand, like grey hounds in the slip, Straining upon the start; the game's afoot, Follow your spirit, and upon this charge, Cry God for Harry, England, and St. George!
Talentosos, empezando por la orquesta The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, dirigiéndola Sir Simon Rattle, siguiendo con Kenneth Branagh y el arte en la composición de Patrck Doyle. yo les doy un Oscar a cada uno. Bravoooo.
There are many moments where John Williams seems to have deliberately been influenced by this track especially when writing his own score for Jurassic Park...
if you good gentleman could bottle the feeling that this song dost give and sell that you would not have to work from this day to the ending of the world.
I just tried to get this track off itunes but as it's obviously the most popular one they've made it the ONLY track not available to download unless you buy the entire album. Oh well, guess I'll just be ripping the MP3 from this video then... Great idea whoever made that business decision.
There are passages or phrases of this music [the final choral part as the two armies are tending to the wounded, the dying, the dead] in the Soviet National Anthem. Not sure if Doyle borrowed some of the musical themes or phrases from the Soviets, or if he was perhaps under the influence. But this music is so uplifting and heartbreaking when we consider the slaughter on both sides.
There are only so many cords and keys in music. Musicians sue over things like that but you cannot copyright simple things that can be repeated by anyone. The parts you mention actually are fragments based on the Non Nobis, Domine section that comes up next. That latin musical piece is used in some christian church services and predates the Soviet Anthem by about a millenium.
Admittedly, it wasn't very nice. I know. She seemed to be imitating Shakespearean poetry, but you can't do that without either quoting him or posing. This was in the latter case.
Descend from your ivory tower and let people enjoy Shakespeare. It's not only made for elitistic purists, but also for people who simply find joy in Shakespeare's words and I cannot see why she is supposed to be posing.
I'm not even sure what I was responding to as a teenager eleven years ago, but I'm sure it was wrong-spirited and I am with you on this. Apologies, if you're still on TH-cam. I agree with this and dislike the arrogant sort of sentiment I likely exuded at the time, though I don't remember it anymore. I still adore this play and this music, and still have it committed to memory. If someone else derives joy from it, I'm truly happy about it!
@@TheAsharedhett Hey man, still there after all these years! I'm also really pleasantly surprised, this seems very rare in today's internet. Have my thanks. It's great to hear that you still adore it. Literature and beauty endures. I hope you're having a wonderful day.

That is one song that needs way MORE recognition!
3:18 to 3:52 words can't describe how beautiful this is!
My favourite part too.
@Edward Crawford hurray!
Wish there was full extended version of that piece of score
@@padraigdon1657 It will give Patrick Doyle something to do when he writes his swan song. This was his first score. ✨💫
My wife and I used this track from 2:28 to 4:33 in our Wedding for the Bridal Party introductions. It was pretty epic.
You wouldn't mind if I "borrowed " that idea would you?
Absolutely. Enjoy and Congratulations.
Awesome 😍
The BEST soundtrack not nominated for an Oscar. Interesting that when Baz Luhrmans AUSTRALIA was released they used this music for the trailer.
One of the best nominated or not. That trailer encouraged me to go see Aus. Imagine my disappointment...
