Vangelis - Opening, Closing & Alternate Titles from The Bounty
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 авг 2010
- These three pieces of musical majesty by Vangelis generate an awareness of the ominous force, yet serene tranquility of the sea. The vastness of the ocean surges against the coastline and reminds us that beneath the sparkling allure of the waves lies a terrible strength, ready to rise up with overwhelming power.
My photos were intertwined to accompany the themes from The Bounty and extend a visual link to the listener, so that they might immerse themselves into these sweeping measures.

I remember... Summer of 1984. Went to see this movie. The opening scene was so dark, seductive and foreboding. And the closing theme is my favorite closing theme of all time. I sat in that theater seat and listened until the theater lights came on.
The closing theme is a masterpiece, eternal - R.I.P. Vangelis
@Gavan Hogan and don't forget.... no Capt. Bligh. Lol
You like WAR dont you I gone give it with plessure 💣
Lol 💣🤘
That is a great story, thanks for sharing!
RIP Vangelis. Thank you for all these masterpieces. The Bounty wouldn't be the same without this hypnotic music.
Pure Genius!
Gone too soon!
this music in engraved in my subconscious since I was a baby. Been searching for it so long.. feels like some past life
Very true!
yes, master of his craft. His works are unforgettable.
A massively underrated soundtrack and massively underrated film.
Throbbing tension and menace, with an undercurrent of melancholy and homesickness.
i don't associate it with homesickness at all, it sounds more mysterious to me, like from a bygone era and the journey into the unknown, it also fits in with the colonial era and when expeditions penetrate the depths of the jungle
desperate yes, such expeditions usually wear that
The music evokes many things for many people depending on life experiences. I think for those of us in our 40s that grew up in the 80s, it can really hit some emotional strings in our souls. Depending on your path in life, it could go from simple melancholy to deep dread. Visions of family members gone, perhaps even those that were not so kind, or even some event that was in fact positive, but the flow of time and the distance from those life events provoke a sadness that cannot be quenched.
Agreed. Superb film.
Dont forget paradise like location .
Soundtrack is not even released yet. Only 2 tracks. And on some other album ( themes 3 I think) , a 3rd track
Hopkins and Gibson are fantastic together in this.
And who had ever heard of Liam Neeson?
Also actor who played Fryer. But no doubt Gibson amd Hopkins.
Some of the best work that either actor ever did, back when they were paid for their acting and not for their names as box-office draws.
Man I thought I was the only one! So nice to hear so many people love it. When I saw this movie on its release I was struck right away by this score. So beautiful it almost makes you cry.
Same here. It’s so evocative
Hey let's not forget about the Blade Runner masterpieces!!
I keep coming back to this time and again. It does something to my brain... can't describe exactly what.
RIP Vangelis. This score reminds me of expansive beauty juxtaposed with a lurking sense of danger.
RIP to the gifted artist who gave us many masterpieces.
Meny jealous on masterpiece they show it very smart people here 👌💣
R. I. P. Evangelis. Magnificent music, for great movies. It seems like a dream.
One of the best soundtracks ever.Stands in its own right as a masterpiece.
Vangelis, the man from other planet. Music beyond time and eternal… something what will last for mankind..
He was for sure one of the best composers in music history.
Title sequence always gives me chills. Such a wonderful movie.
I fell in love with this movie in 1984. The music played a large part in that.
I cruised to Tahiti. On deck at dawn as we approached Moorea with this music in my ear buds. What a magical moment!
Outstanding! But did a large contingent of the natives come out to greet your ship in outriggers?
Catamarans
Таити Таити нас и тут не плохо кормят 😂

The original movie version of this piece simply blows you away. The movie has such an incredible atmosphere, beautiful filmography, top-class acting from some of the best actors ever, and one of the most haunting & magnificent soundtracks ever produced
The is one of the best film scores I have ever heard, it fits the film beautifully, the menace, the desire, the longing and the total hopelessness of it all. I thoroughly enjoyed the film, the acting was top notch and the scenery and cinematography were together a thing of beauty to behold. However it was because of Vangelis and this masterpiece of a film score that brought it all together. If you haven't read the book that this particular version of the film is based on I urge you to seek it out and read it, with Vangelis for company ofcourse.
Same could be said for Blade Runner. That movie wouldn't have had the same impact without the music by Vangelis.
AntonioR Software totally agree with you ther, Bladerunner is one of my top three films of all time!
When you add in the theme to Carl Sagan's Cosmos, and the Chariots of Fire soundtrack (particularly Abraham's Theme) then Vangelis music is a major part of my growing up.
Unless they are studying music anyone under the age of 30 or so would have never heard of Vangelis
They are the poorer for it.
the most underrated Vangelis soundtrack of all. Captures the atmosphere even better than Blade Runner.
spot on.
I'll just say this was probably Vangelis best work, I agree with you!
@@alexlifeson1969 I agree
I disagree, Blade Runner can never be topped, this is a masterpiece though.
What about the score for 1492?
Absolutely love this film, an all star cast thst you'll never, ever again see in one film ever again.
The sound, keyboard synthesiser is very 1984, a great year like the lovely summer we had with all our loved one's present back then, but sadly no longer with us.
I find that summeresque keyboard very saddening, those times and people no longer with us, it wS a very different time and world back then. Better than now.
I had scheduled my TV to play The Bounty and didn't realise it was to play at 1am in the morning, so I woke up to the sound of this amazing sound track at the start of the movie. I proceeded to the lounge to watch the film and was enraptured to the end.
Should of won an Oscar for best soundtrack
Once heard, you can not get this soundtrack out of your head.
"The Bounty"... Chef-d'œuvre musical de Vangelis ! ✨
This film is the perfect work of art - a Gesamtkunstwerk.
Its interesting how 18th century naval-action fits with 1980th syntesizers.
TOFKAS01 80's synth mixes well with a lot of things. Its turned out to be a very versatile sound.
Interesting how period pieces in general fitted with early 80s synthetics, used in Chariots of Fire and Gallipoli (also starring Mel Gibson) to name two.
not really
And in the 15th century - 1492 Conquest of Paradise 👍🎥🎼
Just a brilliant atmospheric tune to a brilliantly well made and acted film.
Masterpiece!!! Wonderful movie, music, story!!!
The works of great master Vangelis will live forever. May him rest in peace and may God have mercy on his soul!
That mystical trance - it's like the voyage was set for a paradise but that deep menacing background rhythm is warning of something very dark to come. I love all the instruments in this track - it actually does give me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes.
Vangelis the best movie COMPOSER in recent history
Like all of Vangelis' scores, this soundtrack makes the movie and enhances the most crucial aspects of the film. I love the sound of his music, because it has a kind of dreaminess to it.
Only watched this movie for the first time a few months ago. One of the best examples of how a score can enhance the quality of a film immeasurably. A bold decision to go with a synthesizer score for a period movie. And it works, boy does it work.
The Bounty,one of the most dark and haunting soundtracks that Vangelis created.
Top 3 soundtracks at all times.
Ennio Morricone - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Vangelis - The Bounty. Hans Zimmer - Rain Man.
Basil poldouris conan the barbarian ?
Vangelis - Blade Runner is the gratest
Giorgio Moroder - Scarface
R.I.P MR VANGELIS 🌬️💨🌌
Bligh was questioned during the trial as to why he thought he lost the Bounty. “I don’t know, ...it was the place”.
I think this is a key point overlooked, it wasn’t him, or the hard voyage getting there. The crew had tasted paradise and didn’t want to give it up.
The journey by Bligh and his men from Pitcairn back to civilization (Timor, over 4100 miles) - without loss of life - is one of the most incredible journeys of survival ever undertaken.
Great point,
A MASTERPIECE OF THE CREATOR...
Absolutely mesmerizing. And Antony Hopkins as Captain. Bligh was awesome!
Fun fact: Even Vangelis, the composer himself, thinks the soundtrack he created for Mutiny on the Bounty is endlessly more interesting than Chariots of Fire lol
Where did you read this? They are both great.
Antigamente, eu pensava que
Vangelis era das galáxias,
Hoje tenho certeza 😔😔😔
He’s not wrong.
I recognise the depth in the alternate
RIP Vangelis
your work will never be forgotten
I'm a huge heavy metal fan, but I consider him the most influential artist in my life. Very sad, there will be no other like him :(
Beautiful but somehow unsettling. RIP great man. You’ll be sadly missed but your legacy in your music will live forever
This was the boarding music for American Airlines many, many years ago!!! I loved this!
To echo the comments of others, a massively under appreciated film. For me it's a classic...score, acting, cinematography & more
Tausend Mal gehört, man kann nicht genau bekommen,vangelis zum träumen
I believe it would be near impossible for any mortal being not to be overwhelmed and overawed by the ominous and forbidding power of this music, gracefully melodic and beautifully majestic as it also is.
Amazing, though amazingly haunting, amazingly elemental, and amazingly compelling, with a strong touch of menace as well, all while conjuring up these vivid images of a vast seascape that is absolutely stunning, yet deceptively calm, deceptively gentle, and which has the tremendous power to rise up and overwhelm.
For what is powerfully evoked are these themes and feelings of utter loneliness, of despair, of heartache, of uncertainty, of barely suppressed fear, of passing days, of these whispering voices that warn and cruelly taunt, and of eerie winds that unnerve and haunt, along with, ultimately, such feelings of hope, these feelings steeped in this type of desperate hope that are evoked, of this hope that was believed to have been lost, swallowed up by the immeasurable depths of the restless, fearsome ocean.
Ah, what scenes of majestic beauty are conjured, along with scenes of this majestic menace, this majestic sense of serene desolation, of a tranquility that is only superficial, and of this deeply felt yet unspoken terror, this palpable terror alleviated only by the sight of land (preferably with palm trees, lush vegetation and this plentiful supply of loose, beautiful women).
Any ways, what a score, both magnificent and haunting, eerily reflective and ominously threatening, both otherworldly and fiercely elemental, and both of such unfathomable immensity and of this unsettling, brutal immediacy, all while featuring elements that are both of this menacing and meditative nature. Music such as this captures it all.
That is a brilliant description, thankyou!
@@gaylejensen2640 Thank You❤❤
Love all the bounty movies but this got me loving vangelis.
The brooding "boom boom boom" and the haunting cry like tones overlaid with powerfull tambourine strikes really sell the menace, sheer power and beauty of the open sea. It's a very successful piece at creating a tone of inevitability and powerlessness against the forces of nature. I listen to it often.
Amazing VANGELIS !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ FOREVER !!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Since i was 10 I loved to listen to him while i was drawing ❤
THE BAUNTY Niesamowita muzyka skomponowana z kadrami . Ścieżka dzwiękowa majsterszytk.
Te dzwięki malują obrazy
Vangelis touches your soul... and your pineal gland ;) this is not just music...
I have a soul believe me and this touches my bunions His best score was Alexander the Great
I have loved this music ever since i first heard it when watching The Bounty 20+ yrs ago. Powerful film....and this music just helps to seal the power of the film. Truly beautiful in all ways. God bless you Vangelis 🔥❤⚡🙏😇💯
This soundtrack blows your mind! Brilliant!!!
Thank you! It's a long one; thanks for sitting through it! I really appreciate the kind words!
Having been to Mo'orea...this music is haunting.
Wonderful island
Ano, to je ta hudba, originál hudba k Bounthy filmu. energie ⚡, emoce, zrada 💔
Σε ευχαριστουμε #Vangelis…Εισαι ήδη ένας μύθος. Για την ακρίβεια ήσουν από παντα!!!😌
Pure.... powerful powerful emotions and raw memories of 40 years ago, when this brilliant movie came out with the score by none other than the legend himself Vangelis.
Extraoridnary music, evoking such incredible emotions and memories, one can smell , taste and touch who we were with, exactly where we were at, and what was going oround our lives in that exact moment of time......
Vangelis, releases the exact same power with Bladerunner.
An incredible man,
thankyou for your incredible talent, RIP Vangelis.
I sailed off the coast of St Lucia in 2012. One evening as the sun was setting, it cast its golden light onto the shore of the islands lush jungle. I played this track on my headphones. Magical!
Amzing
Thank you for Your amazing music...
Well I'm from Pakistan, we used to listen this music during the intense scenes of our national dramas. Had been searching for it, got it now, such nostalgic and awe creating. 80s, the childhood, the dead relatives...........time machinistic music
Vangelis was out of this World, he got a sense of music directly from Heaven.... he didnt need music schools!
The island of Moorea where this was filmed is my favorite place in the world. I have made friends with many of my Tahitian family. The island is even better than in the movie. So peaceful and green and calming. The music and the movie were great.
I have been to the island too. Stayed on a campsite just off a beach. Wonderful memories.
I have wanted to visit the islands of Tahiti for years...It's so beautiful...being in the the vastness of the Pacific, the blues of the sky and water. When I've had enough and done with stuff I say I'm going to Tahiti
@@Sabrina96 If you do plan to go and want questions answered please contact me via email, my address is danielmcd475@gmail.com. I love Moorea and I will be happy to help you. Peace!
@Daniel McDonald Thank you. It would be an amazing area of the world to visit.
I cannot count how many times I've watched this film
The first time at the theater I was amazed at this score. Simple yet perfect . It does everything a film score needs to do. The Bounty made the previous 2 films unwatchable.
I’ve also watched this movie many times, about three times a year, i just can’t imagine going to Pitcairn knowing I was never going home, god bless them all, bligh, Christian ect.
Captures the beauty, the majesty, but also the loneliness and the danger of the sea
Capt. Bligh. What a sailor.
RIP Vangelis
This music is amazing and mysterious. Vangelis was a master 👏
Mr. Roving, your remarks about this music: 'an awareness of the ominous force, yet serene tranquility of the sea', are a perfect description. Memorable, haunting music indeed.
Juste magnifique😊😍👍ce régal de musique au fil de cette évadée de la mer😍😍😍😍belle harmonie qui nous fait nous évader comme il faut !!!☀️merci pour ce beau et bon partage🎁🥂👌
This music makes me wanna travel to distant places..
i watch this movie 39 times in cinema at age 15......amazing
+kalin jovic Watching this in theaters would have been awesome.
yes in did !
Illuminator Yes in DID !
I suppose you're in love with Mel Gibson like the rest of us gals?? Eh? Fantastic movie!!!!
My first viewing was in a single screen theater in North Carolina. Those are mostly a thing of the past. I forgot about this film until I found the VHS tape in a discount rack.
Calling Vangelis a genius is an understatement 🙏🏼
Underrated score and film. RIP Vangelis.
Great Soundtrack....
Music was amazing 😮
This film and it's soundtrack are the real deal.
Like a dream.............in other planet!!!!
Have always loved Vangelis since 14 am 56 now but this piece like the film is one of my favourite Vangelis pieces. No one could make music which touches the soul.
"Are you afraid to go around the Horn Mr. Christian? Are you coward too sir?"
That's a brilliant line. Brilliant movie.
Around the horn is the easiest way, the better way and that is how we will go..anything more?
@@mariobaic8444 30 days and only 85 miles. One helluva headwind down there, I suppose.
"I am in helll!..why now must you be so damn reasonable! I will run him through and then kill myself! " god damn best lines in the movie!
Get him dressed! get him dressed! (sobs) lol! love that whole scene!
Hauntingly beautiful - this music is always there in my heart and head, especially the closing theme. The music, and the scene of Fletcher Christian having to leave behind his girl in Tahiti before the mutiny, makes me acutely remember a beautiful girl, Patricia, that I fell head over heels for in Peru during a two-and-a-half month university field school there in 1987. My time with her was all too brief (some time in Lima and a side-trip to a mountain town in the Andes), and I had to leave. It absolutely tore my heart out, as I knew the practicality of her coming to live with me was just not there, and to be fully fair to her, after such a short time together, she wasn't sure whether she would want/be able to leave her family to come to North America to join me. I also had no career at that point to be able to support her in a relationship. We wrote to each other for a time, but between the language barrier and us getting on with our lives, eventually the letters stopped coming. A few years later I served as an officer in the Navy and spent a fair amount of time at sea during our training phases, including 3 months on a sailing vessel. This music haunted me sometimes then too.
vangelis!!!!!!!!!!! no words
It's the karaoke version lol
I was 7 when this movie came out, saw it on HBO and was intrigued by the music the history and beautiful naked women of Tahiti.........Mel Gibson and the star studded cast made this movie one of my favorites. Thanks for posting the music, it still gives me chills....
I joined the navy because of this and sailed the world
Mr Hardy!!!!! I Salute You Sir!!!!,!, And Envy you
VANGELIS simply the B E S T ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing music. The atmosphere of the sound is hypnotic and translates well the feeling of tense unease felt by Fletcher and the crew...Also the unknown sorrow of looming tragedy that is the experience the film imbues...Finally, the passion and hope in defiance that leads to the taken opportunity to start again into the unknown. Vangelis does an amazing job conveying betrayal and courage and beauty within the themes to The Bounty. Great film and soundtrack! One of my all time favorites.
Very well said. I've often thought about writing a sequel, based on the historical accounts of what happened on Pitcairn's Island.
www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/robert-merle-2/the-island-6/
Could not have said it better myself Eric. It's an amazing movie with an equally amazing sound track.
People this music does zilch for the drama and romance its horrible
Yes!
🔥 🔥 🔥 the music keeps me wanting to re watch this movie. So experimental and so risky for it’s time and think. Vangelis always pushed the envelope it seems. Thank you for your contribution you are now part of the galaxy again bright Star 🌟
The "real life" mutiny aboard The Bounty happened 228 years ago today!!!.
First of all: I am not a composer. But I like good music, so I post my opinion here:
Composing was in that time was different, then it is now. Nowadays we got a lot of "cheap" music to please the publishers an make money. None of this will prevail over time. Instead, all good composers will always be remembered in future times. The generations to come will still be listening to Vangelis and Enricio Moricone and a few others. Just like Beethoven, Mozart and others are still valued today. I'm thankful that I was alive when Morrricione, Vangelis, and a few others released their music for the first time. It was mind blowing,,,, Thank you, Legends!
ManyThanx For This Stellar Upload My Dear Friend!!!!! Brilliant Simply Brilliant!!!!,
Thank you #Vangelis....Thank you Mr Papathanasiou....🙏💖You will be for ever in our hearts and minds! Than you sir😔RIP
These tracks have haunted me nigh thirty years now. Hearing them again reminds me why. Thank-you.
I agree!--I'm 49--and saw this movie when I was 13/14--always gave me the chills. Of course fell in love with Mel Gibson's character immediately. I feel bad for his wife who was back home in CA raising their growing soon-to-be brood of 7 children (I, too, have 7 children)...while her husband is out filming with naked Tahitian woman LOLOL Mel Mel Mel you had the tough life for sure! (not) I do not forgive him for hitting his Russian gf in the mouth and knocking out her two front teeth a few years ago, while she was holding their little baby, Lucia. Alcoholism and drug addiction does that to a person...so very sad.
great score for great film
every time when I listen to this majestic music, I sail on HMS Bounty together with Felcher and the Crew all the way to Matavi Bay... there is no other motion picture, which together with music tells a true story in such a substantial and sensual way. Even if the wrongdoing of mutiny itself is obvious, when I think about the length of journey they all have made, pain and suffer of sailing, beauty of nature they have explored, I begin to understand the mutiners.
I hope you mean Fletcher. Felcher has a quite different meaning. gulp.
@@dclift62 😂😂😂😂
Amazing thanks
Saw the movie as a kid. Loved it and the sound track is brilliant! Thanks for posting.
RIP Vangelis , one of the best compossitor ever "
Tensions are mounting between Fletcher Christian and Captain Bligh!
Great movie equalled by an equally great soundtrack.
Listen to this of a twilight evening, in your most relaxing chair with an iced Bacardi oakheart in your hand.
And dream of dusky Tahitian maidens........
+Mithrandir agree
Durins Bane And a blazing fire with a cigarette and port 😄😄
there is no romantic music hear just strains of noise
Joanie Adams ice witch,lol
Big fan of the film, and the soundtrack, I just finished the recent book on the caine mutiny. I spent a third of my life in Maui, it makes me want to return hearing this!
Fabuleux et intemporelle musique de VANGELIS❤❤❤
RIP vangelis.....I find THIS song THE BEST
