Tears, tears of joy. What a beautiful anthem. It warms your soul with ideals of brotherhood, love, peace and harmony. I love the Olympics and all it represents. May we all have amazing games in Paris.
I’ve been listening to this off and on all day. I’m a Special Olympics athlete, have been for 30 years and yesterday got asked to compete in the next world games in Berlin in 2023! I hope that we get this music with live orchestra! That would make the whole trip worth it 🙂.
Good luck to you Joshua. Here's hoping this music is used too! The live orchestra might be a bit of a stretch though. 😉 Hope you reply afterwards and let me/us know how you did. Good Luck!!!
@@starwarsjunkie7776 if Williams music lives as long as Beethovens has, then sure. But I feel like right now we’re still too biased because it’s recent,
The absolute finest era of Boston Pops - and for the great JW. His writing was key to my half-century adoration of the French horn and classical music - as both patron and performer. His devotion to global unity seals him as one of the greatest humanitarians of all time. We are all blessed to see, hear and work alongside him. Bravo, maestro!
I remember Watching the 1984 Olympics in LA and heard this the first time. I still am thrilled to hear it. The IOC should adopt this to open all the Olympic games.
A sensitive, committed percussionist makes all the difference. The principal drummer isn't just playing his own part with great style and musicality, but he's listening to what's around him closely. Bravo.
Wow what an amazing piece!! I love it, you can really imagine the athletes entering the arena with this music. That is very very different from what's coming for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the chosen music doesn't match at all this spirit, without talking of the choreography which looks like a school made dances, too bad, be prepared folks...
Genio....oido y mente privilegiada....emociona aunque sea viendolo en un pequeño telefono celular....debe ser un gran espectaculo ver en vivo estas obras....
I love this piece and I love watching the composer conduct it. I've played it myself as a piano solo several times. It moves fast. Very "patriotic" type of a song. Awesome performance!
Me too! I'll be 81 in 3 weeks. I'm a very quick learner. Haven't heard this one since the movie came out. Been practicing the 84 Olympics fanfare when I ran into Superman. Dangerous thing to do. Anyway, I sit at the piano and play the themes in 1/2 speed. Now I can try Superman. Thanks!
What absolutely beautiful and moving musical masterpiece!! John Williams is truly an American music legend. I've been watching the 2022 Olympic games (from Beijing) for several days and this music has been hauntingly played in the background. BRAVO!! !
simplesmente sensacional... tinha 17 anos na época e acompanhei muito esses jogos olímpicos o tema tocava quando os atletas se dirigiam ao pódio para receber suas medalhas... Saudades
4 years of preparation. To finally listen to this song dedicated to you and your hard work gives you the best fucking goosebumps you’ll ever feel in your life....
I know John Williams composed this piece for ALL of the Olympian athletes, but this theme, along with the American National Anthem and the Marine Corps Hymn, are some of the only songs that swell my heart with pride of being an American. 🫡🇺🇸
I write this as the 2021 Summer Olympics are taking place in Tokyo. I hear some elements from "Fanfare for the Common Man" in this piece. It served as good inspiration I'm sure!
2021.. Shout out to the Boston Pops (1987). I was 6 when this was played and I am in AWW as I was then, as I am now. These are the real MVPs. So Proud to be from Beantown.
The Olympic Fanfare is the first piece of classical music that I ever experienced. Watching the 1992, 1994 and 1996 Olympics left an indelible mark on me and this tune is the central agreement of everything that I like and love about the Olympics
Subtle, sublime, enthralling, spine-chilling, The build up to the crescendo is full of so many themes, with the strings building so much excitement. Holy wa' from 2:55 on
and the trumpet and horns in the call and respond section toward the end. I was 31 in 1984 and remember crying when this was played during the opening ceremonies. So proud. so full.
Great performance. Always loved this, the best Olympic theme ever-it can be argued that the 1960 Tokyo theme is up there also, as used by ABC “Wide World Of Sports” theme. I put in the lottery for the LA Olympics tickets in 1984. My choices were Opening ceremony😝or track and field. I got men’s preliminary team fencing in a gymnasium, and Men’s individual sabre finals which was in the Long Beach convention center. 5 trumpet players came out playing the Olympic fanfare on long trumpets( Renaissance trumpets) and was fantastic. We got to see the great U S swordsman Peter Westbrook, take the bronze medal in men’s individual sabre. No other country really wanted to host the Olympics after how they were handled previously with tremendous debt left to the cities that financed the venues. But Peter Ueberroth took over the organization and put on a great Olympics with money left over given to youth sports.
あまちゃんコンサートvol.29 ロスアンジェルスオリンピックファンファーレ 1984年のボストンポップスオーケストラ来日公演は素晴らしいものでした。その中でロスアンジェルスオリンピックファンファーレの名演奏は今も新鮮に記憶に残ります。フルオーケストラバージョンを15パートに編曲し多重演奏いたしました。どうぞお聞きください。 Los Angeles Olympic Fanfare
Got to see and hear this in the front row live at the Holly Wood bowl conducted by the man himself! Also, I can't remember where, but I heard that the this music will be played at the upcoming summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
올림픽을 준비하는 선수들의 고난의 순간과 환희, 숨죽이며 준비해 온 고통의 나날들, 그리고 그가 마침내 영광스러운 올림픽에 참가하여 인생 최고의 모습을 선보이면서 최종적으로 가장 높은 시상대에 올랐을 때 맞이하게 되는 영광의 순간을 음악으로 표현한다면 바로 이것이 아닐까? 다른 지휘자의 버젼을 들어보면 작지만 힘차게 울려주어야 하는 스네어 소리가 소리를 줄이는데 너무 집중해 힘이 빠진 소리가 나는 경우가 있고 프렌치 호른의 호흡이 너무 일찍 끊기는가 하면 팀파니가 너무 크게 울려 섬세한 바이올린 소리를 깍아 먹는 경우가 있으며 맥박처럼 울려 주어야 하는 북소리들이 처지는 소리가 나서 전반적으로 탬포가 죽는 것 같은 느낌을 주는 실수가 많은데 이 버전 만큼은 내가 원하는 완벽한 연주를 들을 수 있어 좋습니다.

Dec. 1987 in Tokyo, not 1984. I played the concert - I'm the bearded horn player.

Which orchestra is it?
@@petep.2092 Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra.
great!
bs. I was the bearded guy. u were the bald et looking one
I don’t know, but the French horns always sound so amazing in John Williams’ compositions. He just understands how to use them.
Yes my favorite is the Cowboys Overture/Suite but this is a close second in terms of fun especially when the percussionists go at it.
Why he's my favorite composer to play!
Yes, he fully understands how to use them and the orchestra players are really really good..
Somehow he looks like a French horn player.
@@Tmanaz480 well JW, as we all know, is a fantastic jazz pianist.
One of those rare pieces of music that lifts your soul.
36 years later this is STILL the theme everyone associates with the Olympics.
Yeah it's almost like it was written specifically for the Olympics....
I totally agree!
Not _everyone,_ actually.
@@sidnum: For that set of the Games, yeah, but not originally intended as the theme for every one since then.
Tears, tears of joy. What a beautiful anthem. It warms your soul with ideals of brotherhood, love, peace and harmony. I love the Olympics and all it represents. May we all have amazing games in Paris.
I agree with you .... this is whar should be in the olimpic environment.... a whole touch in the heart..
カッコイイ😊👍これ以上のOlympicの名曲は無い。毎回Olympicは、この曲で良いです😃

私が初めてオリンピックというものを意識して見たのが、このロス五輪でした。
実は、しばらくこの曲こそが五輪のテーマ曲だと思い込んでいました。
Igual hermano tenía 7años
そして冬季五輪のテーマは1988年カルガリーのwinter games ですね。
最近、この曲が頭の中で鳴り響きます。オリンピックと言ったらヤッパリこの曲ですね❕
2028 Olympic games should use this great theme again for every medal ceremony.
More Like Entire Opening Ceremony and Using Spot and Promo For 2028 Los Angeles
Have John Williams create a new score for the 28 games.
this man’s catalogue is insane! star wars. close encounters. the greatest olympic music ever. jaws. sunday night football theme... just incredible.
He’s greater than Beethoven ever was. Change My Mind.
@@starwarsjunkie7776 if Williams music lives as long as Beethovens has, then sure. But I feel like right now we’re still too biased because it’s recent,
We might add Superman, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter :)
@@Skumberg74 and E.T. and Jurassic park as well!
who better than John Williams to compose and conduct the olympic fanfare? answer: nobody
I hear a lot of Bruckner and Mahler. - Heinz
And he did it twice.
This would also have been a nice tune for the flag parade in The Phantom Menace...
I hope John Williams williams direct this masterpiece again for the 2028 LA Olympics. That's will be epic!
Hopefully he will still be with us 😢
I’ve been hearing this theme since i was a child every 4 years and it never gets old. That’s when you know that you’re listening to a masterpiece.
子供の頃だったけど、このロサンゼルス五輪のテーマ曲が一番好きで印象に残っています。ハリウッド映画音楽の華やかさとドラマチックさがジョン・ウィリアムズらしくて心をつかむ作曲を心得てるようですね。
1984, wow, almost 40 years ago. Such a majestic piece and always a treat to see John Williams conducting his own!
The look on the drummer's face when the brass drops around the three minute mark... dedication at its finest.
airbusman5514 lol what about the cymbal player at the end?
The absolute finest era of Boston Pops - and for the great JW. His writing was key to my half-century adoration of the French horn and classical music - as both patron and performer.

Never in this man's life has he missed. He is incapable of creating anything but absolute bangers
A sensitive, committed percussionist makes all the difference. The principal drummer isn't just playing his own part with great style and musicality, but he's listening to what's around him closely. Bravo.
years and olimpic games have passed. this still stands as the most iconic and beautiful fanfare of them all. Mr williams nailed it as usual
The genius of John Williams. I am forever in awe.
The old man in the drums...Boy is he getting down with the beat props to him. Hope he hasn't passed. Great drums!
His name is Fred Buda. He was still alive as of about a year ago.
@@mattrismatt Sad of course as this was in 84. Hell, I was barely walking in 84. Great performance by the Fred. Hope his family knows he was awesome.
He just passed in Dec. RIP
I thought he might be Buddy Rich at first. What a performance!
Wow what an amazing piece!! I love it, you can really imagine the athletes entering the arena with this music. That is very very different from what's coming for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the chosen music doesn't match at all this spirit, without talking of the choreography which looks like a school made dances, too bad, be prepared folks...
Williams' closing the final note looks like he just cut the bad guy in half with his light saber! Truly an amazing piece, and an amazingly gifted man.
Genio....oido y mente privilegiada....emociona aunque sea viendolo en un pequeño telefono celular....debe ser un gran espectaculo ver en vivo estas obras....
Jamas lo olvidaré tenía 13 años y mi papá me despertó de madrugada para verlo Fue increíble mis primeras olimpiadas Que bonito. gracias Papa
I never knew John Williams wrote this. Simply amazing
for the 1984 LA Games
It is definitely in his style, but I somehow didn’t know right away.
@@worldssmallestfan its those twinkly sounds that made it instantly recognisable
懐かしいです。神奈川県民ホールで生で聞きました。鳥肌ビンビンでした
still brings me to tears.. such majesty!!
ジョン・ウィリアムズ最高かよ…🥳

Being a composer doesn't guarantee that you'll be a good conductor, but John can definitely do both.
Yeah john Williams probably had perfect rehearsals cause nobody wanted to miss a note cause well,, its freaking john Williams..
The Maestro....no other way to say it. John Williams and his music forever!
What absolutely beautiful and moving musical masterpiece!! John Williams is truly an American music legend. I've been watching the 2022 Olympic games (from Beijing) for several days and this music has been hauntingly played in the background. BRAVO!! !
simplesmente sensacional...
tinha 17 anos na época e acompanhei muito esses jogos olímpicos
o tema tocava quando os atletas se dirigiam ao pódio para receber suas medalhas...
Saudades
O mais Lindo tema olímpico criado até agora! Fantástico! Los Angeles 1984! Lindo demais!
Foi a olimpíada do cinema não poderia ter sido outro compositor
top music very very beautiful
환상적이네요~존월리엄 forever
I hope that future Generations will venerate John Williams in the same way we do Mozart and Beethoven
4 years of preparation. To finally listen to this song dedicated to you and your hard work gives you the best fucking goosebumps you’ll ever feel in your life....
And there’s something so wonderful about seeing the Maestro conducting his own. Thanks for the post! Olympics starting Feb 3!!

I love this. Anything by Joh Williams is great. Introduced in 1984 as the Los Angeles Olympics Theme, it has continued on!
Was für ein geiler Typ am Schlagzeug. Weltklasse!
Brano fantastico.
2021.. Shout out to the Boston Pops (1987). I was 6 when this was played and I am in AWW as I was then, as I am now. These are the real MVPs. So Proud to be from Beantown.
I Was There For the Opening Ceremony's Preview For all The A, And This Composition Was Obviously The Biggest Highlight for Me and Many Others!!

Always leaves me speechless and near tears. Perfection!

Tomorrow would have been the opening ceremony for Tokyo 2020. Maybe next year.
A classic for all time....

Same here. Had to look this music up. 😁
awesome performance and recording. also, one of the coolest shots of an orchestra playing I've ever seen at 3:00
Oh I love John so much ❤❤❤

Would it hurt to show the low brass section for a second or two while they pump out that incredible sound near the beginning? That aside, great video!
As a low brass player myself...no one wants to see that
@@andrx074 well I would. Bass trombone and tuba are very powerful. The bass lines change the harmony here. C, C/F, C/D, C. Gorgeous!
I guess this is 1987 live not 1984. I saw this on TV. I remember the drummer (front).
Debería ser el himno de todas las olipiedasmundiales!
I just love this! So noble
Amazing ❤❤❤❤
I still remember that flag girls were so cute. The Los Angeles olympic ceremony is the best among past ceremonies.

Very beatiful!

다른 지휘자의 버젼을 들어보면 작지만 힘차게 울려주어야 하는 스네어 소리가 소리를 줄이는데 너무 집중해 힘이 빠진 소리가 나는 경우가 있고 프렌치 호른의 호흡이 너무 일찍 끊기는가 하면 팀파니가 너무 크게 울려 섬세한 바이올린 소리를 깍아 먹는 경우가 있으며 맥박처럼 울려 주어야 하는 북소리들이 처지는 소리가 나서 전반적으로 탬포가 죽는 것 같은 느낌을 주는 실수가 많은데 이 버전 만큼은 내가 원하는 완벽한 연주를 들을 수 있어 좋습니다.
