ExPitster Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) <EDIT -- oops, apologies about the incorrect year in the heading> For those who marched Cadets in 1995, or others in the know... I recently watched the film version of "The Reivers" and besides the opening solo riff, my ear could not match up any of the corps' opener with what I heard in the John Williams score. Just curious if some of that might have been pulled from other Williams sources, or am I just missing it? BTW, one of my all-time favorite Cadets offerings... Thanks, Jay Edited November 25, 2009 by MikeN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar15 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 That's a delightful opener...I always wondered where it came from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all from the score, a lot of it from this recording: http://www.amazon.com/Music-Stage-Screen-A...d/dp/B000002A2O This recording is PHENOMENAL, and probably a source for both the 1995 and 1996 Cadets shows (Red Pony, nice Reivers suite narrated by Burgess Meredith, as well as Born on the 4th of July music). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I found it on a suite of music from the film. Might have been that CD listed above. (And fixed the title for you.) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaq9195 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 It's from the movie. I believe the music we played was during the race between the horse and the car. Been a while since I saw the movie though. I had the cd at one time. It was narrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to listen to that all the time before and after I joined Cadets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar15 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Finally found the original recording. It is indeed in the John Williams score, towards the end. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phrase-ending flourish in the strings becomes an extended run in the brass. Repetitive phrases (like the one before the key change) get omitted. Fast, staccato flute parts are handled by the pit. Orchestral "rips" in the score are featured by the mellos. Etc. Edited March 30, 2017 by Hrothgar15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
