MUSIC: "The Final Game" by Jerry Goldsmith
INSPIRATIONAL!!!!!
When things are dark
Let this music be a light
(not literally of course - you'll wind up bumping into walls and furniture : )
Twice this weekend
I caught the end of the movie, Rudy
It is a true story about Rudy Ruettiger
A boy growing up with a dream
A dream to play football for the University of Notre Dame
He wasn't big enough to play football
He wasn't talented enough to play football
But with sheer will and determination
Against all odds
He actually made his impossible dream come true
In the last game of his senior year
He got to play the last two plays of the game
And - On the last play of the game
He actually sacked the Georgia Tech quarterback
The other players on the team were so happy for him
That they hoisted him up on their shoulders
And carried him off the field
(Something that has not happened since)
It is a most inspirational story and movie
What makes the movie even more inspirational
Is the inspired musical score by
the late, great Jerry Goldsmith
One of the greatest composers of our time
OH!
And both times I watched it
I had tears streaming down my face
LOL
I can't help it
The story along with the music
Bring tears of joy to my eyes
Oh! And by the way -
LISTEN TO THEM FRENCH HORNS!!!!
Jerry sure knew how to compose for 'em
: )

MUSIC: "Arthur's Farewell - Never Surrender" by Jerry Goldsmith
POWERFUL!!!!
I Love Powerful Music like this
Really gets my heart pumping
Especially when I'm conducting!
This is the music to the final battle scene
The bad guys have taken Camelot
And order King Arthur (Sean Connery)
To bend the knee to his evil enemy
Just before his knee touches the ground
He rises, calling all Camelot to rise and fight
Never Surrender! Never Surrender!
A great battle ensues
The Horns and Trumpets
Have especially great parts
You can hear their battle calls throughout
Get your batons! Get Ready!
Conduct!
One of the Greats!
