Theme from Mission Impossible - Folsom Lake Symphony

[@rustysteam]

The great thing about life is....you can stumble across something wonderful, like this KZbin clip, and have it lift your spirits for days.

[@stephenwoodward8083]

Agreed. and it did just that!

[@moodini99]

That comment has significantly lowered my spirits

[@joeytam5980]

Yes, it is. Agree no more. A few day ago, I myself alone celebrate a local holiday and I searched this song and found this version. It raised my spirit up. What a enjoyable leisure activity alone!

I like his commentary, too.

Look up the 007 theme - awesome.

[@valeriedizon3897]

Yes. That is the original sound (theme song) of Mission Impossible tv series.

[@J.P.MistaPista]

My daughter's got addicted to this theme, she listens to it even in the bath, and I'm so proud I showed it to her! :-D

I remember 1966 when this series debuted on CBS-TV and right away I knew that it will be a huge hit. I watched it every Saturday night.

[@chordsofgratitude2073]

Music starts at 2:19; lovely lead in story by the conductor.....love this song, thanks for posting! I want this as my ringtone!!!!

[@rdubisar1]

The orchestra is just fantastic. I am beside myself in tears. It takes me back in time to the 70's when I watched the tv series. Folsum Lake Symphony, thank you so much. I cannot thank you enuf.

[@CHRISRepAZ]

Takes me back to the show. I watched it with my mom and dad.

Great piece...everyone was on cue but the drummer was the biggest highlight for me...❤❤❤

[@SOUND387]

It's so amazing watching people of all ages, people with classic education, playing Mission Impossible theme and really enjoying it! Cause it's all about music in the end..

[@ramishrambarran3998]

Great. Just great. Sir, you are undoubtedly, a Master of the Art ! I am 64. I saw the first episode. All the best. Trinidad & Tobago.

[@je5tran]

I'm the same age. Saturday night staple after the Jackie Gleason Show.

[@rusgib3648]

Yes! The actual original... AND full version! Bravo!

[@garrettgrimes7561]

This is the best rendition of the Mission Impossible Theme song. I couldn’t help but think back to when we watched the series during its original run. Excellent job to all those involved. 👏😃

[@dawsonlehmann4852]

So cool, you don't realize how many instruments are playing in this theme. The sense of urgency is this best best part of the theme the way it comes out. Hats off to Lalo. I grew up with this original series. "Good morning Mr. Phelps...."

[@franaydelott2734]

This version "lights the match" for me.

[@DEP717]

Nothing vamps it like 1960s spy music. Just as a genre, so much good stuff, and this is just a great piece, played with a lot of love and a lot of fun. Nice to see the conductor and musicians so into it.

[@stephenwoodward8818]

This give me goose bumps every time I hear it. What an amazing job they did!

[@queilyyenner6399]

Big respect for everyone in the orchestra AMAZING ART MUSICIANS 👏🏼

[@guesswhoiam7139]

The goosebumps means your brain enjoys the music.

[@ericli6002]

i still believe this is the best version out of all Misson Impossible theme musics

[@derrickhopkins267]

The Orchestra is really, really into the music and you not only hear it, but feel it as you watch them throw the hell down. The Conductor is a whole show; right by him own self 🍾🍾🍾

[@muzzafarsiddiqi6863]

Amazing and timeless theme. One of best of all time! Thank you Lalo Shifrin.

[@lynnbryant9866]

Utterly timeless. Still just as entrancing, as completely captivating as it was when I was a teenager watching the brand new TV series in its first season. Brilliant.

[@245webster]

I love the bluesy flute solo section esp the second time around when the strings creep in... beautifully done!

[@HenrySoco]

R.I.P. Dave Brubeck one of the great jazz pianist of the 20th Century. Thank You for music❤❤❤

[@johnpugh327]

Great video. Loved oboe man wetting his double reeds. Learning more about difficult time signatures is very interesting for me.

[@ProfRonconi]

A superb performance of a superb piece of music. Thank you and Lalo.

[@WorldTrotterHereandBeyond]

Super nice@! Keep watching all over again..

The "secret" is being able to count to 5. That is literally all there is to it.

Am amazed how they teamwork without confession and how the coordinate am really speechless. It's just wow, wow, !!!

[@NomusaNdovela-r6f]

Wow, thanks Mr Conductor for that introduction. Growing up in South Africa, jazz was a big music and we had a pleasure of listen to Dave Brubeck's music through his son Darius Brubeck playing piano and keyboards, a music professor at the University of KwaZulu Natal in Durban South Africa. Thank you for this Mission Impossible theme song as it takes me back to the good old days. Love your arrangement.

[@artsyfartsy630]

Very very cool. I was back in time watching my kids band competitions. Well done!!!!

[@daleandrews3552]

What at outstanding piece of music and what a great delivery! As entertaining to WATCH it performed as it is to hear it.

[@ianpaternoster1396]

One of my favourite pieces. Thank you.

[@bradforddrake8633]

This theme was among the favorites at my junior high school...too bad our band didn't learn to play it! I give A+ to all musicians and the conductor in this video! This song/performance is really smooth/really rocks!!!

[@mishmash8984]

I absolutely love it all. The trombones, the percussion drums. even the most important girl who is ticking the hollow beats. love it.

[@dmmchugh3714]

Magnificent performance of possibly the coolest theme song. I feel like scaling the side of the house after hearing this!

[@arturomarcelolescano3856]

bravo !! la mejor version de este tema, de gran compositor Argentino, Lalo Schifring !!!!!!! es la version mas fiel al tema original y sin duda la mejor !!!!!

[@sellysmith8903]

Back in high school, (1970's) we had a battle of the marching bands. We played at the USC Coliseum in LA. Lalo Schifrin conducted all the bands (don't remember how many high schools were there, but there was a lot) on the football field. The echoing along with trying to keep the 5/4 time was really hard. A memory I'll never forget.

[@John-im3xn]

How rewarding this is. Such gifts and talent from each of you including the video,and timing. So moving, Thank you!!

[@Hambone571]

[@nigelh3253]

Great to see Folsom Lake doing this musical 'workout'. Brilliant piece of music by Lalo Schifrin and great arrangement - with everyone involved!

[@Susan-hj3rx]

This was fabulous! I never understood why I didn't like the theme music from the movies, but after listening to the short lecture on its history, it became clear. Why would they "dumb down" such a great classic?

[@donholt2025]

I agree! The original theme is SO much better! Why mess with perfection?

[@nigelh3253]

Wow! Didn't expect such a big orchestra from the opening close up sequence. Wow! That must have taken some arranging for all those instruments. Wow!

[@londonlady4521]

Absolutely fantastic. I love this music and to hear it in its purest and original format is heaven. Thank you for uploading.

My hats off to these talented people ! I used to watch the series and this rendition gives me goosebumps !,

[@Thunderstixx77]

Great tune, great show and great performance !!! Thanks for posting it !!! I am so old I remember watching the episodes without being a rerun or syndicated !!!

[@joeytam5980]

I am a music lover. Now I have found a piece of music with Five 4 Time. How wonderful it is! He even explained how it works. Fantastic!

[@carlbruschnigjr1757]

Now go get Brubeck's album. In vinyl if you can, CD if nothing else.

[@lesnyk255]

Trumpeter and bandleader Don Ellis also explored unusual time signatures, in particular 7/4.

[@abcdewajahr5921]

Awesome ...good morning mr Phelps 😎💝💓

[@fanboodmusic9609]

I like it very much.. it's the hardest beat song. Thank you for having the opportunity to listen.

[@swahilijs]

That was great. Thanks very educational.

[@danchan5028]

Guy in the back: "We just played the theme for Mission Impossible!" "Wow!" What instrument did you play?" Guy in the back: "The shaker box."

[@bradtaylor5953]

I was at this performance in July 2007 sitting in the first row behind the percussion section in the Sydney Opera House. The whole performance was amazing especially the very beginning. The first half of the performance was a movie scoring for a movie that was never made nor was ever intended to be made I guess. The Mission Impossible theme was the closing number.

[@mshahnazi7636]

Sensational. You brought a great deal of memories from my childhood. Lalo schiffrin was a genius. Tom Cruise crapped both on the essence of that show which was being about a covert action by a T-E-A-M and not an individual, and then changing the rhythm of that unbelievable Theme Song. Best seasons were the first Three (1966 to 1969) when Martin Landau as Rollin, and Barbara Bain as Cinnamon were starring in the show. ❤❤❤❤

[@wordeye]

This would have been great for the original t.v. series I saw in the ‘60s. Outstanding production! The original IMF cast must be smiling and dancing right now when they hear this. Qualified and charismatic Conductor, too. At the end-that’s using your head lol.

[@LoopyWolf]

Could listen to this all day.. so fascinating

[@arturobarrios5376]

One of the best orchestras that can exist really good and of an excellent music quality (Mancini, orchestra, impossible mission, Peter Gunn, soundtrack, film music)

[@billywashere6965]

Yeah the live orchestra knocked it out of the park. Their signature rhythm was off the charts. Not an easy thing to do for odd time signatures where the beats aren't as easy to measure without a metronome.

[@jazz105]

Can't believe this happened 4 years ago at my local college and I never even knew about it wow

[@abhishekhaldipur5786]

Where has this happened?? Which college?

[@raschella1945]

Magnificent! I would give anything to be the bass player in an orchestra! I love it!❤❤❤

[@midas0787]

I love how the music tells a story. I'm so impressed by you guys. Mr. Hunt, this music, what a legend!

[@lindablue7494]

I just rewatched the first movie tonight and then got chatting about the theme song and how the timing was different than 4/4. I originally thought 3/4, then did some reseach and found article about the Lalo and how he really wrote it. Then I found the video of the TV show and all its title credits and then that led me to this video and WOW Goodbumps from start to finish. Thanks for taking that on and playing it the way it was intended. Great Job.

[@Sammyboy74]

What a piece of music... have to enjoy every instruments part coming together
