This summer has been the 25th International fireworks competition in Montreal. Three countries featured film music this year. (Canada, USA and last night South Africa)
Last night 30 minutes program was an all film music score night except Gavin Greenaway's Tapestry of Nations. His music for the Millenium Celebration is very film music feel anyway. So it blended in nicely.
This was the program:
Armageddon Trevor Rabin
Superman John Williams
Jurassic Park John Williams
La belle Histoire Francis Lai
Tapestry of Nations Gavin Greenaway
Gladiator Hans Zimmer
James Bond theme John Barry
Pirates of the Caribbean Hans Zimmer
The Godfather Nino Rota
Spirit Hans Zimmer
This last piece was "Run Free" from Spirit and the crescendo in this cue was absolutely perfect for a finale in a fireworks show.
What piece of music would you like to hear in a fireworks show?

Bad choice! That would be so inappropriate.
'Spirit of the Season' from The Polar Express has that festive quality to it."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

amazing selection, not even things you would hear everyday in a concert line up
Anyway, I think the send off of Independence Day tops everything right?
After all, didn't they promise us fireworks?waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh -

Holy crap, why didn't I think of ID4?

Mikis Theodorakis music to CANTO OLYMPICO is magnificent, and actually closed the Barcelona 1994 Olympics complete with awesome fireworks display.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

What I've heard many times is Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. The sync comes with the cannon firing and the church bells. It has been impressive.

The bonus track "Fireworks Overture" on Alfons Conde's ABANDONED album is pretty awesome.

Yes, that would be a good one. The Canadian fireworks featured "The Courtship" has the opening number of their presentation this year. Well done. You can view it here in HD:

They also did " August Rhapsody" which I thought was a fabulous choice for a fireworks show. here's the link:

I agree with Tom and Tim, Tchaikovsky 1812 overture is the ultimate cue for fireworks, cliché now but ultimate indeed. -

Over the years of viewing 4th of July fireworks I've seen and heard some good ones. Remember it was written with the cannons.

The only one piece of music I can associate with fireworks is Reflection Of Earth by Gavin Greenaway... I can't think of any other music right now. It's because we don't play any music during fireworks shows in Japan. No music, but usually the narrator announces who sponsored each piece of fireworks (but nobody listens )
So when I think of fireworks, I just think about the explosive sound... love that sound!Labels are for cans, not people. - Anthony Rapp -

Yes, they often use "Reflections on Earth"-it seems to be a staple piece for fireworks. I got to see the original fireworks with Greenaway's music in Orlando Florida and it was a blast!
When I see fireworks without music now, it is like going to a ballet show and watch the dancers doing their thing without music. Nice but incomplete. -

The sound of the fireworks is a substitute for the canon part in the 1812.

Never understood what the fuss is with fireworks in general anyway (don't know if it's more like an American thing to wet your pants over fireworks, or it's simply me who doesn't get it) but i have to agree with you 100% on the qualities of this musical work.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -
