Superman Theme Epic Cover Version

An epic orchestral / choir reboot of the Krypton Theme and Superman March (starts at 1:27) originally composed by John Williams.
Re-released from Joseph Bennie's original score to Superman Requiem

[@BennieMusicCom]

My newly recorded and remastered version of the theme, “The Epic Theme From Superman” is now available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music and more! Thanks so much for listening!

Bennie... there were two track in that movie that I thought were beyond genius. The soundtrack for home and the french horn opening of Superman. You nailed home and I'll take the opening to 78 Supes. But mixed together with a little extra sugar... out of this world my friend. Kudos on hitting it perfectly. Thank you.

I feel this is what Christopher Reeve heard played for him when he entered Heaven.

[@justifan]

@Graeme McFee Are you referring to people who bash with Bibles, or people like you who bash Bible believers? Justin Jack was just being honorable to Mr. Reeve in his own way. Even the idea of Superman is implicitly Messianic. On the first page of a Superman comic where he had died there were the words, "Once upon a time, there was a perfect man who came from the sky and did only good." Jor-El sending his only son to Earth to be its greatest hero easily could be inferred to the idea of Jesus Christ, or at least to Christians and some Jews, the coming Messiah. The concept of an ideal person to look up to and emulate is a strong and noble thing to believe, admitting that you are not perfect and striving to be better is a very sensible frame of mind, if not likewise honorable.

[@justifan]

@Graeme McFee Naw, it's just a glitch in Facebook kept me from seeing the additional posts. As for fantasy, the idea of the Biblical God is actually very scientifically sustainable. The idea that the Bible has hundreds of historical and scientific inaccuracies as far as I can see falls short, as I have myself studied hundreds, and have resolved at least 90% percent of them, some of the remaining I have asked actual professionals and they were able to clarify the inconsistencies. The hateful fantasies ironically seem to be coming from the skeptics.

[@justifan]

Regardless of what Justin Jack's personal beliefs are, I find the post very honorable to Christopher Reeve and his memory, thank you Justin!

[@david9243]

Never understood why atheist have to be so uptight about it. Sometimes people need to believe. No matter your faith i for one picture myself Reeve entering heaven whilst a choir of angels playing this theme with trumpets and finding that scene very fitting.

[@justifan]

@@david9243The funny thing is, there probably was a person out there who may have been a hundred or thousand times more heroic than Christopher, but was so humble that we never knew his name, maybe with a name like Edger Wifflehoffer, who was never celebrated here, but whose righteousness and selflessness was greatly rewarded in heaven.

You feel that? That feeling of warmth? Of friendliness? Of hope? Of true greatness paired with genuine humbleness? Man, I wish they could do Superman like that again.

[@iansands8607]

WOW! This cover is as good as the original. I was 19 when Superman was released and the theme had such an impact on me, hearing it now still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. Thanks for putting this on KZbin and thankyou to Christopher Reeve for bringing Superman to life. R.I.P. Chris.

[@Bender-rodriguez1]

Rest In Peace Christopher reeve he was the greatest actor of all

[@sleepinglionarchives]

This is perfect. It should be the Superman theme that every Superman iteration uses, it just didn't get better than the Williams theme and this has modernized it wonderfully

[@thomasfleig1184]

That movie was a huge success because of 2 people. John Williams and Christopher Reeve. Williams, in my opinion, did his best work for the Superman movie, and Christopher Reeve was the best actor ever to play the iconic role. He is, and will forever be, the benchmark that all actors who play Superman are judged against. No other actor, who's played a super hero, is so overwhelmingly agreed upon by the majority of people to be the best. If you ask people who the best Batman was, you'll get a bunch of different answers. You ask who was the best Superman, and 90% say Reeve. I think the next closest person would be Robert Downey Jr., as Iron Man. Nobody will ever play Iron Man better than Downey Jr. I know this is my opinion, by I think most people would agree. It would have been so cool if Christopher Reeve could have played the part with today's special effects. Given the fact that the original Superman movie still holds water today, despite the use of 70's special effects, is because of Reeve.

[@outpost31mac]

@@thomasfleig1184 Absolutely, perfectly said. I know the term 'born to play a role' may be overused at times, but in Chris' case, it was completely true.

[@3PiecesOfBread]

Thomas Fleig Reeve was an incredible Superman and will always be the best Superman, but what really makes Reeve stand out the most is his Clark Kent. Anyone can play Superman to an extent but only Reeve can convince you he’s Clark Kent.

[@pjdstarduffstar]

3PiecesOfBread I agree, it was like he was 2 different people. His height changed, his posture, his mannerisms , his speech,, his personality. It was magical. He was even able to bring it to all of the sequels. The only other person that I have seen act with such brilliance was James McAvoy in Split, an excellent movie that I am positive Reeve would have pulled off with flying colours. What an amazing actor who passed well before his time. Rest In Peace Mr Reeve, you truly are one of a kind and you were a real life hero to boot.

[@Maverick8t88]

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, so many great pieces of music from John Williams. This is, in my opinion, the best of all his work. Chills every time I’ve heard it since I was 4 in the theater believing a man could fly. Williams belongs in the same sentence as Beethoven, Bach, Strauss, and Tchaikovsky.

[@Tom-si5ec]

He can hold Gustov Holt's beer. JW is the bomb though.

[@tylertilwick6852]

This one goes out to the maestro himself, Mr. John Williams!! Without him and his many iconic film scores, we not only wouldn’t have believed Superman could fly, but also; the shark in Jaws would not have worked, there’d be no galaxy far far away from a long time ago, Indiana Jones wouldn’t have defeated the Nazis, E.T. would not have made it home and dinosaurs would still be extinct!

[@TheElessar98]

I’m battling everyday in the darkest period of my life. There’s a hope in me that never dies, Superman has given me an eternal light that makes me fly even when I can’t almost walk.

[@liberalchubbychaser5112]

When they reboot it again I hope they use this theme in honor of the real man of steel Christopher Reeve. RIP big guy 💪🏻

[@lukestantz12]

What do you mean this theme? Christopher Reeve’s theme is THE Superman theme

[@MultiDarkElf]

Thank you maestro John Williams for the timeless Superman theme. He composed this during what I call the golden years, from 1977-1983, when he was on a roll and wrote one masterpiece score after another. @Bennie, you did a good powerful rendition, thanks for your work

[@pamela1952]

I Remember going to watch Superman at the cinema when it first came out, I was on my own because my wife didn't fancy watching it. I completely got lost in the film and enjoyed every minute, from the opening credits to this brilliant soundtrack. I came home and said to her, get your coat on, I'm taking you to watch a brilliant film, so I took her to watch it on the same day. one day in my life I will never forget, even though I'm now in my seventies

I watched these when I was younger with my dad (late 80s early 90s). And hadn't had watched them again till last week. This theme alone made me feel so much nostalgia to the time when I was with my dad. He's no longer with me. He was my superman.

This was the movie my husband and I saw on our first date...while we are no longer together, I still watch this movie and now listened to this beautiful score and remember that at one time I married someone who shared many things with me, and this was a good happy memory, of a time when he was a bit of a hero of mine...

“And over the last few years we have heard a lot about something called ‘family values’. And like many of you, I have struggled to figure out what that means. And since my accident, I've found a definition that seems to make sense. I think it means that we're all family. And that we all have value.” - Christopher Reeve, speaking at the Democratic National Convention in 1996. What a Super Man.

[@STNeish]

John Williams has made so many incredible, memorable, ICONIC themes, it's really hard to choose just one as a favourite. THIS is the one I choose. Star Wars is perhaps better known, and Raiders of the Lost Ark is utterly wonderful, but THIS is the one that hangs in my head as the most memorable, most iconic, most wonderful piece he has written to date... and you've done complete justice to it.

[@jahsnoke8043]

[@kayleecoin176]

I remember when I was six years old sitting in the theatre. The chills I felt when John Williams Superman theme came blaring out of the theatre speakers while the iconic S came blazing on the screen. It was an indescribable feeling. You my friend, have made me feel like that six year old child again. I literally had tears in my eyes hearing this music. The vocals add the intensity that I felt as a child upon hearing this music for the first time. Thank you. Majestic, heavenly, iconic and nostalgic all in one.
