2. Colonel Bogey March (Bridge Over the River Quay.(sp?))
3. Green Leaves of Summer (The Alamo)
4. Opening Theme (A Bridge Too Far.)
5. The Longest Day (The Longest Day.)
6. Opening Theme (The Great Escape.) Eric Maietta

I've no idea why my post was replaced by one about snipers in v6.1. In any case, to reiterate, this post was inspired by the 'Favorite War Movie' thread. My favorites are: 1. Ace High March (Battle of Britain)
2. Colonel Bogey March (Bridge Over the River Quay.)
3. Green Leaves of Summer (The Alamo.)
4. Opening Theme (The Great Escape.)
5. Opening Theme (The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming!)
6. Opening Theme (Force Ten from Navarone.)
7. The Longest Day (The Longest Day.)
8. Opening Theme (Das Boot.) Eric Maietta

By and large I've been very disappointed in music for war movies and the only ones that stick in my memory right now are 1) Zulu and 2) The Bridge on the River Kwai.

Only a few come to mind at the moment, but my faves include: Gettysburg Main Theme, Das Boot Main Theme, "Albinoni Adagio" (from Gallipoli), Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" (from Platoon), and the soundtrack from Col. Shaw's last walk on the beach from Glory (anyone know what that's called?).

"Victory At Sea", Richard Rodgers, orchestration by Bennett - hands down the best "war" music, though admittedly not a war movie as such, rather a TV series. Next in line, "Battle of Britain", William Walton, available on an EMI disk along with some of Walton's other movie music. Classic of all time: Prokofiev's music for "Alexander Neveskiy", though not a "war movie" as such, it certainly IS about war. A brilliant achievement, the Battle on the Ice has been copied by many film composers who folowed Prokofiev, after all emulation is the greatest compliment of all in art. Incluidng the fellow who did the music for BattleZone. Morton Gould for his excellent score for the CBS doc series "World War I", released in 1964 and largely ignored since then. Bing

I agree with Drex, "Zulu" has great music, especially when the Zulus appear on the hill.
The music from "Gettysburg" is pretty decent I feel.



Gallo Rojo -> (9/10/2001 4:27:00 AM)

Don’t much know about War Movie Music, but my favorite War Song is “Gallo Rojo” (guess where does my nick name comes from? ) a Republican’s song from Spanish Civil War

A friend of mine mentions two Republican Civil war songs, The Republican version of "Oriamendi" a Carlist marching song, and a parody of the Fascist anthem called "Cules al sol" Know where I can find the words? Dankie, troopie



Drex -> (9/10/2001 10:13:00 AM)

Bing brought up some good examples which imply a classical music background. How about Walton's treatment of the Agincourt theme in his music for Henry V, admittedly the oldest battle song I know. Then how about Holst's Mars music? If this isn't war music then I don't know what is.



Randy -> (9/10/2001 10:51:00 AM)

My favorite movie theme songs/sound tracks are;
1)Theme from Patton
2)Panzerleid, from The Battle of the Bulge
3)Theme song from The Longest Day
4)Ballad of the Green Berets from the Green
Berets
5)Theme from The Great Escape



Grenadier -> (9/10/2001 12:23:00 PM)

Not in ay particular order. The Blue Max
Das Boot
The Great Escape
633 Squadron
Von Ryan's Express
What Did You do in the War, Daddy?

The Holst is a good example, though I'm not sure if it has actually been used in a war movie. Henry V isn't really a war movie either, though it is one heck of a fine movie, with some great battle scenes, and I think I like Walton's music for this one the best of all, come to think of it. I'm sure the influence of Holst can be heard in movie scores - once a work gains prominence the references to it are inevitable. Also, you know, we haven't brought up military band music, another entire genre onto itself. Bing

jew_dragov -> (9/10/2001 8:18:00 PM)

"Preußens Gloria"(prussia's glory) is very nice.
It should be played in every authentic movie where
Wehrmacht is marching at parade. kmd_dragov

Ride of the Valkryies in Apocolypes Now



Cromort -> (9/10/2001 8:47:00 PM)

How could anyone forget the music of Apocalypse Now (Valkyris Ride of Wagner) (and the fifth symphony of Beethoven) That is music that fits the movie

"Dulce bellum inexpertis "[War is delightful to those who have no experience of it] Erasmus

No, Drex posted the above quote concerning Holst's Mars, Bringer of War(from his Planets suite). I think many discerning people saw a major conflict in the making in 1914 and before. I did research on that some years ago - a lot of research, matter of fact. I came to a simple conclusion: Europeans wanted their dirty war, they wanted it pretty badly despite all the talk to the contrary. They were aching to start one - I also came away from the research convinced that if Germany had not marched first, it could as easily have been France. Just a sidebar and no, I don't know how that got into a discussion of war movie music. Oh ... someone wrote that I revealed a background in "classical" music. I don't classify it that way. Many great musicians, including Verdi and Debussey, have said there are only two kinds of music: Good and bad. Charbrier made a great joke on that statement, but you kinda have to know composers and eras to get it. This really IS drifting off topic, so I will cut that out right now. Bing

Sorry Troopie, but I don’t know I will ask to a friend of mine who knows a lot about Spanish Civil War songs...
If he gives me an answer I will e mail you



Randy -> (9/11/2001 12:41:00 PM)

Beaudreaux, I work for a police dept, and one New
Years Eve, some of the guys played "Ride of the
Valkryies" over their P.A. systems at midnight, it sounded awesome!



bradmbrown -> (9/11/2001 1:00:00 PM)

Theme from Hogan's Heroes. Which is also a marching tune, I used to stomp and bang to as an Air Cadet on parade, loved it.
What is the tune the song "Three Germman soldiers crossed the Rhine" was lifted from? (um um) OH!, it is When Johnny comes marching home again: Three Germman soldiers crossed the Rhine
Taboo taboo
Three Germman soldiers crossed the Rhine
Taboo taboo
Three Germman soldiers crossed the Rhine
(To ____ the women and drink the wine)
And we all sang sieg HIEL, tickle my ass taboo
That one I like too. Lots of troops do. And, yes, it ain't a "war movie" song... it is a march. And this is not a war film theme, but has been used in MANY MANY MANY war films:
1812 Overture, Tchaikovksi And the worst (hehe) Wellington's Victory, Beethoven If you don't have a decent midi player, these files will sound like ****. [ September 11, 2001: Message edited by: General Amnesty ]

Burning Bridges-Mike Curb Congreation-theme from Kelly´s Heroes--an all time classics



troopie -> (9/11/2001 7:34:00 PM)

"Colonel Bogey March" "Oh when the Saints go marching in" We used it and it was the Official marching song of the RLI. "Donald, Where's your troosers?" Was never in a movie, but, we always sang it on formal parade. troopie



Easy8 -> (9/13/2001 9:49:00 AM)

Being a child of the Sixties, I especially liked the soundtrack that accompanied the Viet Nam films of the '70s and '80s. "The End" by The Doors during the opening credits of "Apocalypse Now" creates a dark and sinister mood that sets up the movie perfectly. [ September 12, 2001: Message edited by: Easy8 ]
