i just saw the trailer for the new CONAN. it's a shame. as a cure, i will raise up the volume and play poledouris all night... 'till the neighours come over!
@Lasstreffenduopfer Yeah, but John Williams is so camp. This guy is way better than Williams. Just discovered Basil Poledouris and I think he's amazing
@Lasstreffenduopfer You know I was about to say that - he does does reach me on the same wavelength as Wagner and a bit of Holst in a modern way, if that makes any sense :)
@toquio3 i don't know the specific titles of all those but i recognize some of the artists: 0:01 by Albert Moore, 0:10 Lawrence Alma-Tadema 0:19 Albert Bierstadt Yellowstone Falls, 0:28 Arthur Hacker, 1:12 John William Waterhouse's Narcissus (my favorite), from 1:21 to 2:02 i believe again several by Alma-Tadema, 2:23 'pollice verso' by Jean Leon Gerome, 2:33 Frank Dicksee, 2:49 Alma-Tadema, 3:07 Edmund Blair Leighton. seen a bunch but not all at museums.
@toquio3 correction: 1:21 and 1:21 i can't remember the artist's name, but from 1:38-2:02 it's Alma-Tadema for sure. either way, get a decent book on Victorian painting, the Pre-Raphaelites etc, those are the first fantasy artists in the modern sense and they're a lot better than most of our present day fantasy artists. to be fair, most artists back then were crappy too and the ones we know now are just the cream of the crop, but the best of the past or more skilled than the best of today.
The best soundtrack ever been made. I love the movie. It is art, with a very good Arnold Schwarzenegger, cool setting, and of course, very great music. A masterpiece!
Beautifull choice of paintings for an ultimate musical masterpiece. Would like to see your video for The leaving/ The search part. If i dont make it before. :)
civilization..ancient and wicked....i love this piece..it provides an escape as i too run off into the wilderness sword in hand and subotai at my side..and a big fucking 357 at my side too and now that im at it a fine bitch with her own sword at my side..matter of fact the governator at my side too..were all running and laughing our way into the wilderness fuck it.
It's always interested me how Polidoris created all the Conan music with such a relatively small orchestra, not the usual epic-movie giant symphony. Sometimes it almost sounds like a small college band at a football game. Very proper for Conan the Barbarian, the thinking man's epic.
Of scholars, Poets, Cults, and beasts that made the World magnificent, beautiful, and terrifying to behold! A world of untainted beauty and freedom, where anything was possible in it all! When the world was unkown and sailors believed the world to be flat.
(I have since worked on this poem of mine, enjoy) Part_1 It's Of a time forgotten and gone, now turned to dust and ash. A time for which I long and moan for, for it is part of me and since ye is dead, so is a part of me. Oh please come back to me, bring back you're times of wonder, adventure, magic and excitement.
@Grepple1234 Wow, really? Well, since I didn't get any replies, no message's and NO THUMPS UP, I thought no one cared for, and didin't think my poem to be anything special. You're comment is very much APPRECIATED, and I would like to thank the two people who gave me the 2 thumps up!
I have the sound track to Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer, I love listening to those two CDs more than the Lord of the Rings, Legend, Labyrinth, the Company of Wolves.... Actually, more than any of my movie soundtracks.
God will ask you about your prayers in Crom's name. Did you even read Robert Howard's books? Conan didnt even care about Crom. So how do you pray in his name now?
Heh, yeah it was either pop or even a disco-esque score!
Glad Dino didn't get his way on that one.
To be fair though the film had little or no chance of even being made without Dino's help, as no other studio would touch the materials violent nature.
Yes I thank you as well, because you see I'm not really good at orchestral instruments. I didn't even know what a bassoon or Oboe was until I looked it up.
Such chanting was Poledouris' major infuence as he himself said, but few know it. Makes your heart melt with its dignity, its lyrics and its serene power friends. We need music that changes our day, and day after day our whole life. Peace.
The song is a great hymn to the free Pagan soul! May we one day ride the open steppe with wind in our hair, no more weak abrahamitic Gods to worship only the strenght and beauty of Mother Nature! By Crom!
Dear morrink, I will disappoint you a litte my friend, but Poledouris himself stated that his major influence was the Byzantine Orthodox chanting.
However, that does not mean that an artist's heart lacks the ability to decode emotional input from our rich world. I hope the same applies to yours mate. It's great to ride on the open, I tried it once and will never foget it...
Ok brother I understand, but a lot of traditional christians admired and were inspired by the Old Gods and the Era of Glory and Honour (the heathen time in Europe). Tolkien was one great hero to Europe who really embraced the pagan influences in his masterpieces.
For the last time, yes I know they were Christians! But they were deeply inspired by heathendom and the old Gods. Tolkien was an expert in Nordic and Germanic paganism and mythology. Must of the characters in his works are from Nordic tales.
Ah, well that's true. Mythology is one of my favorite subjects to research as all their tales are so creatively woven. Since I'm not a pagan, it's just interesting how they came up with their beliefs and tales.
The Painting is called "La Belle Dames Sans Merci" (after the poem by Keats), painted by Sir Frank Dicksee, one of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. I believe it is available as a fine art print
A very good idea of course. But, may I FIRST reccomend..The Search. Focusing primarily on images of Conan, Arthur, some unnamed knights, barbarian warriors-maybe even Elric-all ridding on horseback. Perhaps find as many as you can that give the mounted warrior a sorrowful look on his face?
At any rate, I am certain whatever you choose will be fantastic ;)
This video is lovely...the images truly depict the beauty and fierceness that the ancient and medieval times held simultaneously. The music fits so well with the slide show. Well done!
Hard to believe this beautiful music comes from such a violent movie-but who`s complaining.I would love to hear that very medieval sounding number the band is playing at the inn-the scene after the raid on the Tower of Doom after they steal the Eye of the Serpent.
Saddle a horse, take a sword or a quiver....ride the open plains....relate back back to a time of wonderment and fantasy. Excellent video and visual presentation, my thanks for this momentary step into another world.
the afterlife, i think, is whatever you want it to be. Every man should be able to choose his own god, in his own time, in his own way. personally, i trust an imperfect god who wields a good length of steel over a "perfect" god, any day.
azthazel is compleatly right, this song embodies high adventure. it makes you want to trek to distant lands with loyal companions beside you and destiny, fortune, glory and adventure ahead of you.
As for the religious Aspect, I believe in God. But i don't worship him. My God Is Surl. And Jesus can try to throw me into hell, but, if Surl is kind, He And his brother Scorn will Fight on my behalf, and Take me to the Paradise of my choosing. Mine will be The one i have just described, earlier.
Thank you. Wonderfull !! Your discussions are like in the movie. This is truly a THEOLOGY/CIVILIZATION topic . :) I almost imagine you sitting by the fire and talk about your beliefs. :)
All religion topics aside, this song always makes want to run over fields with the wind in my hair, watch unknown landscapes unfold before my eyes. There is probably no better piece of music for adventure.
The only thing that may need an explanation is: those who died without know the gospel will be judge by God according the way they lived. Man know what is good and what is bad. Throughout the human history civilizations rise and fall, but do the right thing, not kill, not commit adultery, not steal etc were acknowledged by them as the "right thing". This is the law in the human heart; However, it does not apply for those who heard about the gospel of Lord Jesus. We don't have an excuse...
ok, yea we are programmed to know whats good and bad, although some have a flaw in their programming, wonder what will happen to them... i mean... god made them that way, didnt he?
oh ok, I thought you were talking about people who claims to be sodomites or murder or pedophile or anything like that supposedly because God made them this "way".
you know, I just realized that you are not looking for a real answer, you are just want me to say something "offensive".
hey, no hard feelings. You may be right about that revealing something about me, but you reveal something before. The answer is that those who do have disabilities that prevent them to think clearly (such as brain paralysis, but not only that) will not miss the way. That's what Isaiah 35:8 is about. Isaiah is the most messianic prophet not by chance :)
As a final thought I would say:
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts
This makes me want to run in fields of tall grass to visit different cities.

Hard to believe this beautiful music comes from such a violent movie-but who`s complaining.I would love to hear that very medieval sounding number the band is playing at the inn-the scene after the raid on the Tower of Doom after they steal the Eye of the Serpent.

Saddle a horse, take a sword or a quiver....ride the open plains....relate back back to a time of wonderment and fantasy. Excellent video and visual presentation, my thanks for this momentary step into another world.

the afterlife, i think, is whatever you want it to be. Every man should be able to choose his own god, in his own time, in his own way. personally, i trust an imperfect god who wields a good length of steel over a "perfect" god, any day.
Beautiful artwork also.
thanks for posting this video.

azthazel is compleatly right, this song embodies high adventure. it makes you want to trek to distant lands with loyal companions beside you and destiny, fortune, glory and adventure ahead of you.
As for the religious Aspect, I believe in God. But i don't worship him. My God Is Surl. And Jesus can try to throw me into hell, but, if Surl is kind, He And his brother Scorn will Fight on my behalf, and Take me to the Paradise of my choosing. Mine will be The one i have just described, earlier.

Thank you. Wonderfull !! Your discussions are like in the movie. This is truly a THEOLOGY/CIVILIZATION topic . :) I almost imagine you sitting by the fire and talk about your beliefs. :)

All religion topics aside, this song always makes want to run over fields with the wind in my hair, watch unknown landscapes unfold before my eyes. There is probably no better piece of music for adventure.
Roam free, and let others roam as well.

Wasn't the music they played when Conan the the Asiatic archer were running about in the steppes?
zeezee15 3 years ago
You mean when Conan was running around with Subotai, the Hyrkanian thief & archer? Yeah, the music is from that scene.

And was once more played as Subotai rescue Conan beeing bounded on the Tree. It was also a great scene, where i become goose-skin :-))

The only thing that may need an explanation is: those who died without know the gospel will be judge by God according the way they lived. Man know what is good and what is bad. Throughout the human history civilizations rise and fall, but do the right thing, not kill, not commit adultery, not steal etc were acknowledged by them as the "right thing". This is the law in the human heart; However, it does not apply for those who heard about the gospel of Lord Jesus. We don't have an excuse...

ok, yea we are programmed to know whats good and bad, although some have a flaw in their programming, wonder what will happen to them... i mean... god made them that way, didnt he?

euh... people with clear definable defects in the brain who have no control of their own behavior
...unless you dont believe they were made by god of course

oh ok, I thought you were talking about people who claims to be sodomites or murder or pedophile or anything like that supposedly because God made them this "way".
you know, I just realized that you are not looking for a real answer, you are just want me to say something "offensive".
Here is your answer anyway:
Isaiah 35:8
eslopes 3 years ago
ow ok, you didnt know what i mean
...nope, not tryin to provoke anyone... if you feel then thats says something about you and not about me
(still havent given me the answer though, i was really wondering... oh well, cheers)

hey, no hard feelings. You may be right about that revealing something about me, but you reveal something before. The answer is that those who do have disabilities that prevent them to think clearly (such as brain paralysis, but not only that) will not miss the way. That's what Isaiah 35:8 is about. Isaiah is the most messianic prophet not by chance :)
As a final thought I would say:
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts
Clock is ticking...
