John Williams turns 86 tomorrow and, along with the all incredible film scores he's composed, he's also written several Olympic fanfares which we will undoubtably be hearing snippets of over the next few weeks:
Olympic Fanfare and Theme 1984 (Los Angeles)
I've been listening to the 'Olympic Fanfare and Theme' these days. It always makes me feel that there may be hope for mankind to live together in peace...well at least for a few weeks. Heck! Every single time I hear those trumpets sending out that call to the athletes, I want to run toward that cauldron to compete in something...anything!
Maybe I could qualify for Olympic cheering for humanity!
This is beautifully inspiring feel-good music!
Thank you, Mr. John Williams!![]()
