John Barry was, in my humble estimation, the greatest screen composer in the history of cinema. His scores touch me on deep levels and often move me to tears. Just wonderful! I have often dreamed of being an established movie director and having him score one of my films. Alas, that was not to be. However, I still hope to become an established movie director!
I am not that religous but when a genius as John Barry composers there must be a spiritual gift that allows one individual to express adepth of soul that mooves us all. Richard Burford.
And at 8:20 is one of the best subtly melancholy romantic pieces ever: 'We Have All The Time In The World', the love theme from OHMSS. Sung for the film score by Louis Armstrong, the last piece he recorded before he died.
i now truly hate modern music after hearing this beautiful music, not just bieber, what about the thousands of talentless bands out there? what about the satanist princess Lady Gaga? black eye peas? urghhh . . .the horror!
A wonderful tribute to an amazing man. John Barry added so much to so many films with his beautiful music. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace John Barry. @}---
John Barry es una figura importantísima para la evolución del cine como arte. Su genio maravilloso creo y dio formas sublimes a películas que, aunque comerciales en su mayoría, nos dieron (y dan) la oportunidad de apreciar la magnitud de la sensibilidad artística. Que Dios bendiga a John Barry. Todos somos afortunados al tener acceso a su obra
I'll never forget Dances with Wolves when John Dunbar and the Sioux low crawl up to a hilltop, and there before them are thousands of buffalo as far as the eye can see. The booming, majestic music at that point was just awe-inspiring, and so incredibly beautiful. John Barry's music has brought me peace during troubled times. May he now find his own peace, and rest well.
I awoke today, i turned on the radio, Shirley Bassey was singing Goldfinger,great timing i thought, then i just knew, something had happened. Sure enough i learn of the sad passing of a legend, his music i have listened to with great pleasure for so many years. I knew this day would come eventually, i then play his themeology in tribute. John Barry was not only the boss, but a professor in music composition, his movie themes are what makes the cinematic experience a joy and pleasure to be hold.
Loved and admired you for years I salute you Mr Barry for your musical genius and thankyou for presenting us with so much beautiful music to accompany us in our lives. Your music (and your mastery) touched my heart and soul, and it always will. RIP John, sleep well.
John you are the Mozart of our time - I loved all those movies BECAUSE of how your music made me feel. You are the greatest film music composer!! R.I.P.
In my opinion,he,along with the great Bernard Hermann,were two of the absolute finest film composers who ever lived. Barry had a superb gift for melody and orchestration.A wonderful composer who will be dearly missed by all.Rest in peace Mr Barry.
We lost the great composer John Barry yesterday. I wish he knew his beautiful Dances with Wolves score sustained me when deployed overseas, missing the birth of my youngest son. May he Rest in Peace.
R.I.P. John Barry, 5 time Oscar winner & composer of SO MANY of the world's greatest Movie Soundtracks, incl the legendary themes for the James Bond movies, 'Midnight Cowboy,' 'Born Free', 'Dances With Wolves' and my all-time fav movie ... 'Out of Africa' ... and so many more. We have lost a ...master of the musical soundtrack ...
@sadalite It's criminal that the black hole hasnt been released on CD, if Disney has no interest in putting it out, i hope Nic raine and the prague philharmonic re-recorded it, they did a splendid job with Barry's raise the titanic score a few yrs back.
Mr. Barry is a genius...he ranks with Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Saint-Saens, Verdi, Puccini and the other greats....of course, his medium is different but his melodies are just as pure and perfect as any composer who has achieved lasting immortality....thank the gods for Mr. Barry. His music makes great movies even better.
Also.. today is May, 14, 2010 and a new version of Robin Hood is out.. Trust me find the DVD of Robin and Marian with John Barry music and Audrey Hepburn Sean Connery the leads you will love it!!!
its across the sea of time,the imax film he did,here's the order,dances with wolves,the scarlet letter,across the sea of time,cry the beloved country,raise the titanic,masquerade,the tamarind seed,my brothers keeper,high road to china,the golden seal,the last valley,the living daylights,somewhere in time,out of africa,moonraker,ohmss,the appointment,lion in winter.
Yes,I brought it in 1995 at the time of the film release,its on te epic label,but im not sure if it would be hard or easy to find now,it should be out there ; )
he should be... what a GREAT composer he was, some of my FAV movies of all time and definitely the musical scores from him as well... SO moving, SO Beautiful... WOW... rip John...
OMG I am SO EMBARRASSED... thanks for "enlightening" me... I "think" I got him mixed up with the director Sydney Pollack, REASON BEING, John Barry's musical scores have been used in Alot of Robert Redford movies, and Redford was "close" to Sydney Pollack the director, to I got them mixed up... am GLAD to KNOW that John is not deceased!!!!
<---- OMG I AM SO SO EMBARRASSED... " my sincere Apologies to all here and to "John" lol... GAWD :0
Juste à cause de John Baie, je sais quelle musique joue dans le Ciel. Sa musique touche véritablement mon âme chaque et le temps. Vous avez amené quelques beaucoup de personnes joie et allégé tant de peuplades › les vies par la qualité de votre belle musique. Merci beaucoup Mon Cher Monsieur John ! Vous aimer ....
Isn't it odd how so many people become aware of John Barry' music when they have heard the score of 'Somewhere In Time'. I fall into that category and have loved and followed his music ever since. It is invariably good and there is so much of it.
I saw him in concert in Birmingham in 1999 and it was magnificent. Thanks John you have brought some many people joy and lightened so many peoples' lives by the quality of your beautiful music.
Like some others, I first became aware of John Barry's work when I watched the movie, Somewhere in Time. I was going through the after effects of a major trauma at the time, one that, like Richard Collier, made me want to just lay down and die. To me this score evokes the sense of losing something so precious
that you don't want to go on. I cry profusely everytime Ilisten to this, my favorite score of Barry's. There isn't any other music that touches me in the way Somewhere in Time does.
I first heard of John Barry through the film Somewhere In Time, where the soundtrack in his words, was one of his finest moments as a composer...albeit the most upsetting through personal grief at the time.
I love his music. He is a genius, and his music has always, and continues to, inspire me.
I've been a fan of John Barry's for years, and didn't even know it. I had no idea that he wrote this wonderful music to all of these movies. Truly a genius. So very beautiful.
TIMZP--------I agree about JB and his superior reign over certain emotional territory!I hope your wife understands the depth of emotion within her husband. TIMZP is not alone---John 55 year old in Construction
I love John Barry. His music stirs emotions that I dont feel from any other source. I had the pleasure of attending one of his concerts at the Royal Albert Hall about 5-6 years ago. My wife fell asleep but I enjoyed every moment of it and would love to have the experience again
...and then someone let Madonna sing a Bond song, WHO was responsible for THAT??? was it actually a song??? its an insult to John Barry who has composed such awesome music!!!!
Are you forgetting Live and Let Die? What about Sheena Easton? Or Carly Simon? That's how the Bond theme lost its luster! Madonna is just fine, no John Barry, but a great song writer and singer. I, however, don't need anything but my John Barry and Bernard Herrmann records!
Since I was a teenager in Argentina I have adored his music, now, in my 50's I continue adoring his music and I am proud to have all of his cd's in my collection, BRAVO!!!
This man is a master of his trade. I a;ways said if I could at a concert of his music I would be a happy man but I was lucky enough to see him conducting in person at Birmingham - it has heaven !!
He and John Williams are my favorite movie music composers. The sound on this video seems to have gotten messed up. Was that something in YouTube's encoding?
I've liked John Barry for many years. He uses a simple repetitive theme which magically brings out your emotions. His music is recognizable because of his own unique musical stamp using lush strings, saxophone and flute mostly.
Trully, he is a great musical composer of our time. he has so many great soundtracks, from King Kong , High road to China , to indecent proposal and so on. It's a pity that I can't get quite a many of his musics. My up most respect to John Barry.
A briiliant composer!Oscar well deserved!If I can type this without getting my mucking words fuddled!Blame it on the computer!I agree with iowntheclough!
his music is very recognizable, hes my favourite composer of all time, his music is so romantic. the world will miss his beautiful scores xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Morricone is evocative - espec his GoodBadUgly and the Mission. But I'd have to listen to more of his work to put him into the four I think are the greats.
I might also include Nino Rota (Godfather, Romeo and Juliet) or Max Stiener (Gone with the Wind) or Jaffe (Dr. Zhivago) - but they don't have the corpus of work the four greats do.
Listen to Once Upon a Time in the West too as that is great Morricone music as is The Untouchables with Kevin Costner as thats his score too. Nope - you should make top 4 a top 5 list. He is one of the greats.
Some of the best films ever made got a big assist from Barry's scores, but few people really notice how much the effect is heightened and who the composer is. He gets props for the Bond films but there's so much more to be grateful for. I hope he gets more recognition some day.
It is hard for me to imagine any man that has had more influence in Movie Soundtracks.

This man is a master of his trade. I a;ways said if I could at a concert of his music I would be a happy man but I was lucky enough to see him conducting in person at Birmingham - it has heaven !!

He and John Williams are my favorite movie music composers. The sound on this video seems to have gotten messed up. Was that something in YouTube's encoding?

Have you ever wondered what it would have been if John Barry and John Williams had got together to compose a musical work together?

I've liked John Barry for many years. He uses a simple repetitive theme which magically brings out your emotions. His music is recognizable because of his own unique musical stamp using lush strings, saxophone and flute mostly.

You can hear the saxophone in some of his music. You can look up John Barry saxophone.

Trully, he is a great musical composer of our time. he has so many great soundtracks, from King Kong , High road to China , to indecent proposal and so on. It's a pity that I can't get quite a many of his musics. My up most respect to John Barry.

his music is very recognizable, hes my favourite composer of all time, his music is so romantic. the world will miss his beautiful scores xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

No question is among the four greats: Williams, Goldsmith, E. Bernstien, and Barry.
And none can write a romantic theme as he can: Somewhere in Time (a tear jerker), OofA, and Dances with Wolves. Also Body Heat was very evocative.

You've got to put Morricone in there too mate.
basicskil 3 years ago
Morricone is evocative - espec his GoodBadUgly and the Mission. But I'd have to listen to more of his work to put him into the four I think are the greats.
I might also include Nino Rota (Godfather, Romeo and Juliet) or Max Stiener (Gone with the Wind) or Jaffe (Dr. Zhivago) - but they don't have the corpus of work the four greats do.
My favorite(s) from each:
Bernstein: To Kill a Mockingbird, Mag. 7
Goldsmith: Sand Pebbles
Barry: Somewhere in Time
Williams: most of em.
maxparrish01 3 years ago
Listen to Once Upon a Time in the West too as that is great Morricone music as is The Untouchables with Kevin Costner as thats his score too. Nope - you should make top 4 a top 5 list. He is one of the greats.

He is allso wery cultural. When a movie takes you somewhere on earth, so does John Barry.
When I do oil-paint, I get a lot of inspiration from him.
ingareinar007 3 years ago 2
Some of the best films ever made got a big assist from Barry's scores, but few people really notice how much the effect is heightened and who the composer is. He gets props for the Bond films but there's so much more to be grateful for. I hope he gets more recognition some day.
Best Ever:
Out of Africa
Dances With Wolves
