    I can provide one for you:

    Call of the Champions
    Composed in late 2001 for the Salt Lake City winter Olympic Games of 2002

    Summon the Heroes
    Composed in 1995 for the Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, 1996.

    Olympic Spirit (NBC Sports Theme)
    Comissioned by NBC for the Seoul Olympic games broadcast in 1988

    “We’re Lookin’ Good!”
    Composed in 1987 for the Special Olympics

    Olympic Fanfare and Theme
    Composed for the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles

    ...and while not exactly Olympics, there's also other sports things:

    Fanfare for Fenway
    3-minute piece composed in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park
    Premiered on April 20, 2012 at Fenway Park in Boston

    Winter Games Fanfare
    Composed in 1989 for the Alpine Ski Championship, Vail, Colorado


    I have all of these, and they're wonderful!
    I am extremely serious.

    Ah yes, that's true. I have that too. It's a funny theme coz it sounds like the theme is 'singing' "It's Sunday Night Football". smile

    NP : EARTHQUAKE - John Williams



    Another average-ish Williams score but a far more enjoyable listen than Poseidon Adventure with some great memorable tracks like the funky Miles on Wheels and yet another FANTASTIC main theme.

    A great score, I've been listening to a lot of Goldsmith's final ten years worth of output recently and he really was writing brilliant stuff right to the very end. I think he really mastered the seamless integration of electronics with 'Star Trek: Nemesis' and 'Timeline', to me his final two masterpieces.
  13. Just finished RICKY by Philippe Rombi. I'm not used to such bleak music coming from Rombi. Not at all like the previous scores of his that I've loved. It showed me that he can do more than gloriously beautiful and thematic music, but I prefer ANGEL, UN HOMME..., and MERRY CHRISTMAS.

    NP: theme from UNE HIRONDELL A FAIT LE PRINTEMPS - Rombi. This is lovely. Is this any indication of what the rest of the score is like?

    Okay, but I would rate The Mummy higher than The 13th Warrior. I always get a kick out of the action music from the former + the themes are just mindblowingly good!

    Nemesis and Timeline masterpieces? Surely you must be kidding? shocked

    Nemesis would be in my top 5 Goldsmith's actually, I find it an intoxicating listen and it never gets old to me. I know no one agrees with me, but that's okay.

    NP: VARESE'S 30th ANNIVERSARY SAMPLER (various)

    So many great themes on this 3CD set, only a very, very few of which I previously owned.
    I am extremely serious.
  19. Jerry Goldsmith - The Ghost and the Darkness

    Trying to recall this score, I remember it being amazing, but haven't listened to it for a *very* long time.

    It IS very good and it's also missing some great tracks from the film.

    Brave - Patrick Doyle
    Cheers Patrick! Another fantastic score. I happen to love Celtic elements so I am right at home here. And I don't think I've ever heard a Doyle score I didn't enjoy. There are precious few composers I can say that about.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    Okay, let me take it to a new level:

    "The 13th warrior" is not brilliant. The theme is not great, in fact it's forgettable. And the action music is not spectacular. Any of us here (well, sans the few of you about to deny this last sentence) could easily name a dozen Goldsmith scores with spectacular action material.

    And "Star Trek: Nemesis" and "Timeline" are, essentially, skippers once you've heard each once.



    So there.

    Holy Sweet Jesus! "The Mirrors" (and its superior, alternate version) from Intrada's new expanded release of The Shadow is mind-blowing! For those against expanded editions are most definitely missing out on an Jerry Goldsmith action gem!

    To be honest though, I actually agree with Justin, I'm afraid 13th Warrior doesn't really grab me.

    Yes, that's definitely one. In fact I could probably name many dozens of Goldsmith scores with spectacular action material.

    I'm obviously not the biggest Goldsmith fan here but even I can't disagree with this, and I'm fairly certain I have enough Goldsmith scores to start naming things...I've always loved the power-anthemy action parts of Mulan, and for some reason I really like the chaotic brass fanfares of King Solomon's Mines...

    Though I didn't like "First Knight" either, I'd say it's better. Just for comparrison. Oh, and Revell's rejected score "The 13th warrior" is far, far better.

    Never really formed an opinion on "The Mummy". I did on the movie: crap.

    It's Revell's best music, I think, but that's not saying a great deal.
