Theme music to Voyage of the Heroes, a 1985 BBC documentary reconstructing the voyage of Jason and the Argonauts to find a magical golden fleece.
The 1500 mile journey was undertaken by Tim Severin and crew in a replica of Jason's ship Argo.
Ive never seen the programme but found the theme music on an old LP so hence the poor sound quality which I have tried to clean up to the best of my ability. Thought it was a pleasing tune so have a listen and see what you think.
Music composed by Howard Davidson.
Many thanks indeed for this, now pretty rare piece of music. I had an old copy of this track on cassette, back in the late 80's, now long since disappeared. Your video is the only surviving reference I have of this great track. Thanks for the upload :)

Im trying to find 'The Jason Voyage' video. Do you know where i can find it? I've tried contacting Tim on his site but have had no reply. Loved the book and have been trying to find the film for years.

Beautiful music. Thanks a lot for sharing this jewel. Howard Davidson is amazing when it comes to composing music. Do check out his other works for the BBC documentary: The Story of India. That has classical Indian music mixed with classical western music. Really a treat for the ears!!
