  • This song was also during Christmas on TWC's local forecasts in 1992 and 1993.

  • @jlesow Thanks! I've listened to both of them carefully, and what I hear is the theme - Jurassic Park main theme in JP video - and a totally different traditional Russian Christmas Carol theme here - starting at times indicated by you. JP theme is in 4/4 - Russian Christmas Carol is in 3/4. Totally different melody as well. The only similarity I hear is the 2 chord harmonic structure of the melody - which is true for 4 bars for Russian songs and for 2 bars of JP theme - that's all I could find.

  • The theme I'm talking about starts at about 1:20 in the Jurassic park video

    and about 4:55 in the Evergreen video. You can slide the time indicators to get to the relevant parts.

  • @jlesow Yes, I believe, it is a traditional Russian Christmas hymn - "Christ Is Born". Why Jurassic Park??? I love the soundtrack (and very familiar with it) - but don't recognize any theme similar to this one.

  • If you skip to 4:55 you'll hear a familiar theme from Jurassic Park. Is that a Russian folk melody?

  • @detah1 I don't hear a lot of similarities - maybe, some. This song was composed in mid-90's - long before " When Christmas Comes To Town.". It has couple of traditional Russian Christmas melodies incorporated into the texture of the song, as I hear it - "Song of the Christmas Tree" and traditional Russian Christmas Carol. But the rest is completely original music, though. It does sound great!

  • I couldn't put my finger on it until just now. Part of your melody is very similar to the Polar Express song, When Christmas Comes To Town.

  • Great stuff.

  • just saw him today in milwaukee

  • Beautiful!
