Jared's World - The Mission by John Williams

I remember watching the NBC Nightly News back in the 80's with my grandparents, and John Williams' "The Mission" always gave me chills when I listened to it. It has always been my favorite lesser known patriotic anthem...

Pictures are great but this is the WRONG VERSION of "The Mission"...

[AMANOFCOLOURS]

Point taken, but did not have the short official version when I put this together. Thanks so much for your point it out, but it is STILL "The Mission", regardless

I hate how they've butchered up and broken apart William's brilliant theme through the years with all kinds of electric guitar solos and techno beats. This is the best news theme ever written, and they never use it properly!

I'm not quite sure what jared's world is, but i like the sound of it.

Awesome to hear the whole thing. "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Peacock"!

This to me seems to be a more relaxing news theme (bill bailey and his orchestra covered this piece for his dvd and it is superb. He compared it to the birtish news up until 1982 where it has a similar jolly rheteric. Then we went all doomonger and apocolyptica with our boombastic themes suggesting gravitas.

[skitterrusty]

the news is an entertainment medium jsut like and other broadcast show, they all use themes to draw an audience. Non of the shows are amazing, the MUSIC IS! and NBC is probably the least of the EVILS where news programs are concerned, anyone ever hear of FOX NEWS!
