As I understand it, one of the creators wanted to do an "aliens built the pyramids" story where they find a buried spaceship in Egypt, and the other wanted to do "Lawrence of Arabia on another planet". The combination of the two became Stargate.
Seing the Station is a magic moment. To think there are humans up there among the stars is truly inspiring. If all goes well by 2024 we will begin our settlement on our moon and Mars by 2030.
One of the smartest things in this movie was the ring elevator, because if you can have stargates, then shouldn't there be related technology? This movie really knew what it was doing.
I didn’t see Star Wars until I was a teenager. My first proper sci-fi experience was this movie. When I saw Transformers unfolding out of nothing for the first time it was already old news for me. Anubis and Ra did it first.
i was somewhat the same in this regard. As a kid (about 8-10), i saw star gate, followed by star wars (original trilogy), and then the first 3 star trek TMP movies. Suffice to say, sci-fi has never really quite held up to the standard that i was initially presented with, ever since then.
"They realized that the Stargate itself was a portal of storytelling plots that could last them hundreds of episodes" I told this to many Star Trek fans ! ^^ But.. I'm a big Star Trek fan, too ! :)) I love TNG ! But my favourite actor is Richard Dean Anderson. ((:
Zimmer has kinda got back to his roots, now that he's not doing DC superhero scores anymore. Dunkirk's score was a return to form. And while BR2049 is very much a synth score...I'll give that a pass, because I mean it's fucking Blade Runner.
This soundtrack was supposedly given to the world through the real Stargate many decades ago. The movie was apparently made AROUND this magnificent music of the spheres. Heavenly music. Almost out of place it's so epic.
I bought and re-bought this movie so many times over the years, first on laserdisc, then DVD, then blueray and then the extended editions... I've never regretted sinking more money into this wonderful movie and the TV shows too.
@@6of6 The extended edition with as much extra footage as possible. None of the extra stuff should have been removed but I understand it was for time and it didn't really affect the story much at all.
i was born too late. i missed the release of all my favourite series. (stargate and star trek) im still watching them today. though the fanbase is very small
So thankful as a kid my parents took me to the theater to see this movie, 1994, hard to believe so much time has passed already, but luckily for us, this soundtrack is timeless.
The wonders of past music still continue to inspire even to this day. Such amazing music can he written, and yet people never try to make music like this anymore. Truly a timeless work of art. When will the world realize that this is the music we're missing most. The power of an orchestra working together to make art with their instruments together.
We don't have music like this anymore is because the generations growing up now are to self absorbed no it all talentless and lacking any inspiration or mental fortitude and quite frankly the intelligence to appreciate let alone compose a complex orchestral arrangement
the version from the movie is shorter. you can hear it at the beginning of the movie. this upload is the full version. and it's not on the ost-cd ! (just a track with 3:01 min) as the title implies: it's an unreleased track !
Best movie soundtrack ever imo the movie is my all time favorite so it's a win win. I was ten when I saw stargate and even to this day it still amazes me. A truely epic and awe inspiring movie, love it. Would love to see it in the cinema again.
edusuntrebor yes back in the day when stargate came out a load of films around that time used the stargate theme for their trailers. Universal appeal I guess
Wow, I can't tell you how much I miss music like this. It moved the anticipation and expectations of the movie to a very high level. There was another technical aspect of this movie that also separated it from other movies of that time, the great cinematography. The folks who put this production together did it brilliantly. I miss those days of true creativity.
Michael Giacchino's pretty damn good - his Star Trek theme's fantastic. Plus I want Arnold to return to Bond. None of your lightweight Thomas Newman shite. He's a good composer but his action scoring is weak.
The Concise Statement Yeah, Bond just isn't the same without David Arnold. I like Thomas Newman, but he is not a good fit for Bond, his style is VERY wrong for it. They really need to get David Arnold back.
John Caudill hey! If you get this message I’m working on a restore project and I want to make this song appear in the Jurassic park opening just plz subscribe to my channel and I’ll be uploading it soon!!!
As a musician, I started thinking about why I love this sound track so much. I came up with several things: the constant shifting between major and minor keys gives a fluid uneasiness and sense of anticipation; great melodies!!!! you can't get them out of your head; the orchestration, particularly the oboe in octaves with another instrument (not sure which one) gives an Egyptian feel and oriental exoticness; parts of the score unleashes the power of the orchestra... what a brass section!!! and the use of choral in spots gives the music an other worldliness
What ever happened to film overtures? They're such fun. I never even had the pleasure of experiencing them before they disappeared and I still lament their passing. I can just imagine walking into the theater as the lights dim, this playing, as I find my seat and get settled. The sense of excited anticipation this conjures up makes me want to go and watch the whole film. On an unrelated note, it's criminal that this isn't available on the official soundtrack. The truncated 3-minute version of the overture is a shadow of its true self. It lacks the rollercoaster of emotions the full version evokes here.
+sonnyblack0870 I know it's unfortunate. I was born in 97 but I still am familiar with the 90's soundtracks. They are indeed more epic! It's sad to see what's become of the film industry
+sonnyblack0870 what are you talking about? this soundtrack is epic... but the lord of the rings too, national treasure, the da vinci code movie soundtrack? ... ehm... seriously... :D
+Daniel Delgado As grand in volume Lord of The Rings' music is, it's not as melodiously creative as Stargate's soundtrack. Howard Shore's themes are generally very basic- like The Fellowship theme. Not to say the score has no truly great moments, 'cause it sure does. But they don't make music like this so often anymore. The Batman films are a perfect example of this point. The older Batman films, particularly the 1989 one, had great, melodic music. You could hum along to the tracks. Like so many of John Williams' themesongs. These new Batman movies? Amazing music, yes, but not that same quality of a complete track. Hard to explain, I don't quite have the technical terminology.
Bimfirestarter Although I do agree with most of your points, I do however think the LOTR soundtrack was one of the greatest soundtracks ever made, along with Stargate. Movie soundtracks are not just about melody. There is much more to them than just melody. This is where Howard Shore did a great job. His soundtrack includes brilliant use of different exotic instruments, his orchestrations are almost perfect (I think), although some of his melodies are simple, they are very modern in construction and show perfectly his style. I could go on and on about Howard Shore's LOTR. Soundtracks these days are different. Many don't really contain any leitmotifs, and if they do they are weak. A lot of new soundtracks are really simple. I mean too simple. I don't get any thing from them except background music, and contrary to popular belief, soundtracks are far from just background music. I am not speaking for all films these days, there have been many amazing and unique soundtracks written by new composers. Another point I'd like to make is that simple often means "humable." John Williams' themes are very simple in nature and that is what makes them catchy. I think Williams "makes up" for his simple melodies in other aspects of his music, but I won't go into that now. I think he's a really good composer. He is not my favorite, but he's definitely up there. To go back to your original point about the melodic creativity of Stargate, have you studied the main theme of Stargate? I mean it's a brilliant theme, but it is extremely simple. It's based on just two chords: I and iv. I would say that Howard Shore's themes are inherently more complicated than Arnold's. But they are both really good. Sorry for writing so much.
I remember watching this movie for the first time and being absolutely amazed at the effects and this very soundtrack. I would sometimes just listen to this opening and let my imagination run wild. What if I could travel to other planets through a gate like that... what if...
David gave a live concert in Dublin in january and I was lucky enough to hear this live with an amazing choral performance. Worthwhile going to his show which I believe is going to be on in a few places in the UK
I was there, it was fantastic - here are some of the audience members' tweets about how fab it was storify.com/DGAconcerts/david-arnold-live-in-concert-dublin :) He's got a concert coming up in Manchester on 14 April 2015 and then a few more in June in London, Birmingham and Nottingham.
Jane Doe I'm rewatching SG-1 series right now actually - 6 season already and they really improwed special effects, scenography, camera work and story from season 1. This is nice to see. Didn't remember that. But yes, several years passed. CGI became better and they probably earn some money to improve what was shit. I mean, this is not really good series like those from last years - Breaking Bad, Fargo, True Detective, Nick, Utopia... That would be awesome to see. To watch sci-fi series made professionally as fuck. Good to the top.
I can't believe that almost 22 years has passed since this was released in the theaters in the UK. It seems like yesterday. Anyway... great movie and probably one of the best soundtracks of the decade.
And to think that David Arnold was working as a store clerk when producers hired him. He had limited experience scoring few short films (including Bjork music video) and one full length movie. In Hollywood it's almost like hiring random person from the street. They hired that person and he did THAT. And he went on to compose music for Independence Day which is also great.
This is the Opening Theme and parts of Orion and The Gate Opens from the original movie soundtrack (through 2:30, and then loops). I think this is more like a suite than the "original, unreleased" theme.
Gods, I'm getting chills...I know the movie was a big thing, it started one of the greatest TV Shows on earth, but this in my opinion has always been Stargate 1's theme tune, Colonel Mitchell and his team travelling through the gate on a mission to save the universe.
+Ryan Howard The film is entirely unrelated to the TV series. The TV series is good but was inspired by the movie, but is it's own thing and the film is non canon to it. In the movie and novels, The Ancients, Asgard or Gou'ald do not exist. Ra was a Humanoid alien the last of his race and transferred his soul to the boy as opposed to a serpent.
+joe danns I wasnt reffering to the movie not being related to the TV Show, dont get me wrong...the TV Shows is far from similar to the film except in relation to two of the main characters (Jack and Daniel) and the main locations of the film (SGC-Abydos) being the same. The Show's Composer, Joel Goldsmith brought this theme across to the SG-1 Pilot episode (Some Snippets can be heard). That's what I was reffering you...
+joe danns I hope Ra isn't the last. It be extremely boring trilogy if he or others didn't reappear. SG-1 had the right track, except they made them a joke and diminished their strength.
I am talking about this in the present tense, meaning that if nothing has changed between the end of Continuum and present day, Colonel Mitchell will still be leading SG-1 through the Stargate Jack O'Neill is my favorite character of the franchise...in fact it's thanks to himself and George Hammond that SG-1 was even formed and the gate was opened again... I suppose Apophis helped too, dialing to earth and all :3
luv this score - of course influenced by Maurice Ravel, Richard Strauss (like John Williams, Hans Zimmer etc.) and a good portion of Jean Michel Jarre and Mike Batt in it - nobody is an island, and as J. Jarmush said: it´s not the point where you got it from but where it brings you to.....
Thank you for uploading this. David Arnold's score merges all within STARGATE the film and then the series. It's chilling. Without the music, the story would be nothing. The Goa'uld would be mundane. Egypt only? It's about a universe filled with beings out to enslave the human race. ¬ Janet Thompson Deaver
+Morgan le Fay i kind of disagree. but i would agree that the show would be pretty flat with out the music. the music does make the show much more of a experience to enjoy.
i think the composer in the series was pretty good. but i really like the direction of the amazing David Arnold. he had a way of composting a track to be remembered for generations to come. but they are both great composers. but with tv shows there is only so much time to prepare for the next episode or maybe he waited until the season was done to add the music. it still can be a daunting task with the limited time or ppl to compose something amazing. this is why movies get a better soundtrack.
Как же я обожаю эту музыку из франшизы Звёздные Врата (StarGate), особенно главная музыкальная тема 😊😊🤓 - ну это конечно просто эпик. Сразу чувствуется дух приключений
THAT is what MUSIC for movies are supposed to do. Even if you didn't see the movie, the music alone transports you to wonderful places.
magnvss absolutely!
+magnvss
Indeed
Well Said.
magnvss beautiful comment.
A good soundtrack is hard to find in these newer movies, it seems to only exist to serve the story and not serve as an actual beautiful piece of music
"I'll be seeing you around... Dr. Jackson."
James Spader's BEST role ever ! When he most like James Spader.
15+ seasons of follow-up shows indicates this statement was true ;)
This theme is like a sci-fi Lawrence of Arabia. Great!
So is the story, lol
Dune?
haha , yes indeed.
Spot on. Maurice Jarre theme exactly the same. I can't read music to save my life. But I've watched enough movies to see a pattern.
As I understand it, one of the creators wanted to do an "aliens built the pyramids" story where they find a buried spaceship in Egypt, and the other wanted to do "Lawrence of Arabia on another planet". The combination of the two became Stargate.
Saw it as a boy, Im 39 now and still listen to this every night before bed, it takes me to places…
David Arnold's magnum opus- and it was his first big hollywood-score.
Seems a good portion, of this Score's ending, was... inspirational... to Mr. Williams, for "Anakin's Dark Deeds."
😅
Stargate Ra
I've heard this music swell in my head when the International Space Station passed over on clear nights. Moved me to tears.
Seing the Station is a magic moment. To think there are humans up there among the stars is truly inspiring. If all goes well by 2024 we will begin our settlement on our moon and Mars by 2030.

I loved the original movie- the soundtrack is INCREDIBLE!
Definitelly 👍
If movies had music like this today…
Well don't you worry, cause when I make films I'll have music like this 😊.
6:15 - The dialing sequence gives me goose bumps. The way it builds up to the gate's first opening.

@@6of6 The extended edition with as much extra footage as possible. None of the extra stuff should have been removed but I understand it was for time and it didn't really affect the story much at all.
I assumed it was John Williams who wrote this music. David Arnold, obviously as great and gifted in transporting imagination to another level.
A good mixture of Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams
here here!!
+Cristián Paris It also reminds me slightly of Maurice Jarre (Lawrence of Arabia)
I concur
not John Williams but it will do in a pinch (it was only Canadian after all).
Composers of Star Trek & Star Wars respectively.

Wunderschöne Symphonie..man versinkt förmlich darinnen.Traumhaft!
David Arnold's classic vision of how to score this movie is superb and one of my all time favourite movie soundtracks
i get sad when i hear this music , what a great show and movie
Reminds good times to a person. I don't know why, everything has been so exciting back then.
I am sad for Star Gate Origins even to exist, such an abomination of this perfection.
I always loved the music from Stargate! A true masterpiece!!!!
This music would've been perfect for a live action movie of "Brandy and Mr Whiskers" 😊.

Gods, I'm getting chills...I know the movie was a big thing, it started one of the greatest TV Shows on earth, but this in my opinion has always been Stargate 1's theme tune, Colonel Mitchell and his team travelling through the gate on a mission to save the universe.
+Ryan Howard The film is entirely unrelated to the TV series. The TV series is good but was inspired by the movie, but is it's own thing and the film is non canon to it. In the movie and novels, The Ancients, Asgard or Gou'ald do not exist. Ra was a Humanoid alien the last of his race and transferred his soul to the boy as opposed to a serpent.
+joe danns I wasnt reffering to the movie not being related to the TV Show, dont get me wrong...the TV Shows is far from similar to the film except in relation to two of the main characters (Jack and Daniel) and the main locations of the film (SGC-Abydos) being the same.
The Show's Composer, Joel Goldsmith brought this theme across to the SG-1 Pilot episode (Some Snippets can be heard). That's what I was reffering you...
+joe danns I hope Ra isn't the last. It be extremely boring trilogy if he or others didn't reappear. SG-1 had the right track, except they made them a joke and diminished their strength.
colonel Mitchell? you cannot say Stargate sg1 without mention of colonel Jack O' Neil. O'Neil it is sg1. Mitchell is nothing compared with O'Neil.
I am talking about this in the present tense, meaning that if nothing has changed between the end of Continuum and present day, Colonel Mitchell will still be leading SG-1 through the Stargate
Jack O'Neill is my favorite character of the franchise...in fact it's thanks to himself and George Hammond that SG-1 was even formed and the gate was opened again...
I suppose Apophis helped too, dialing to earth and all :3
One of the best openings EVER!! OST of my childhood.
luv this score - of course influenced by Maurice Ravel, Richard Strauss (like John Williams, Hans Zimmer etc.) and a good portion of Jean Michel Jarre and Mike Batt in it - nobody is an island, and as J. Jarmush said: it´s not the point where you got it from but where it brings you to.....
Cant help but think of ancient egypt listening to this theme.
Stargate SG-1 forever favourite 💖
That is how should be a Space Opera! That feel appealing to that sense of wonder and heroic adventure of what should a galactic epic...
Amazing, just amazing!!
incredible piece of music, love it, listening to it now actually
It's a powerful piece, and it frequently haunts my dreams. Sometimes I wonder...
very profound pieces throughout this soundtrack. even as a little kid who was just starting to grasp music this score always stuck out to me.
Thank you for uploading this. David Arnold's score merges all within STARGATE the film and then the series. It's chilling. Without the music, the story would be nothing. The Goa'uld would be mundane. Egypt only? It's about a universe filled with beings out to enslave the human race. ¬ Janet Thompson Deaver
+Morgan le Fay
i kind of disagree. but i would agree that the show would be pretty flat with out the music.
the music does make the show much more of a experience to enjoy.
+Morgan le Fay This music is precisely what the TV series doesn't have. And that's why it is bullshit.
i think the composer in the series was pretty good. but i really like the direction of the amazing David Arnold. he had a way of composting a track to be remembered for generations to come. but they are both great composers. but with tv shows there is only so much time to prepare for the next episode or maybe he waited until the season was done to add the music. it still can be a daunting task with the limited time or ppl to compose something amazing. this is why movies get a better soundtrack.
+jwak0bz Z Nicely put, still haunting melodies..
I love this music.
I still get chills everytime I listen to this
I feel like this movie should have been so much bigger than it was, not saying it’s not a big movie but it’s not on the level of say Jurassic Park etc
Who could possibly give this a thumbs down?! Absurd.
I never get tired of hearing this.
Как же я обожаю эту музыку из франшизы Звёздные Врата (StarGate), особенно главная музыкальная тема 😊😊🤓 - ну это конечно просто эпик. Сразу чувствуется дух приключений
Excellent theme.David Arnold genius.
