IN SEARCH OF THE TROJAN WARS ...Terry Oldfield

[@albertabdul-barrwang3494]

I wish this wonderful soundtrack was available on Spotify/Tidal/iTunes

[@RenaultPanka]

Finally after long search i found this wonderfull documentary music. I even bought homerus odyssee which is really difficult to read. music brings back a lot of childhood memories

[@fuferito]

I've had this music fixed into my memory since watching Michael Wood's rebroadcast of _In Search of the Trojan War_ thirty or so years ago.

[@sammq4499]

Me too

[@ChristinaTalbott-Clark]

Me too! It was very formative for me. And I just found it on Bandcamp and now I can listen whenever I want!

[@sihaves8808]

Was just talking with my son about this wonderful series and ended up here. I was 12 when this came out.

[@Llanchlo]

I echo the thanks already posted. Like many both the music (which like many I lost when my cassetes were binned) and the MW series have always stuck in my mind, having visited Troy a couple of years before it aired. Someone asked for advice on where to go in Turkey and my mind jumped back and on a whim wondered if any of the music was here. Buried treasure. Thank you Terry.

[@neilwhyte6296]

I was 12 years old when I watched the show This song stuck in my head for decades It's an amazing theme tune

[@MarvelDcImage]

This was one of the most moving sounds I heard as a kid. THANK YOU!

[@radjanpartiman5085]

Just by listening, I see Troy in my mind's eye as it began in the year 3000 BC, and the daily life in it that took place...really awesome...😃

[@ponchotran9004]

Is this the music from the Michael Wood six part series "In Search of the Trojan War"? Wow !

[@TerryOldfieldYoutube]

Yes

[@bentobarreirinhas5702]

this album is fantastic... always brings tears to my eyes

[@paulwaide6201]

What an epic piece of music this is - it seems to call across the ages. I remember watching the Michael Wood series on TV when it first aired and this still sends shivers down my spine as if Helen, Priam, Achilles, Hector, Odysseus et al are reaching out to us across time. Thank you Terry!

[@garymoore8896]

Thanks for uploading this. Really glad to find this album online. I've been trying to get the soundtrack for decades. As far as I have been able to determine, this album was never available as a CD and vinyl copies are almost impossible to find here in the US.

[@WritingandFighting]

In Search of the Trojan War was one of the best historical documentaries of all time. Even though it was made before I was born, I can still confidently say that. This soundtrack is a big reason why. Thank you for posting it.

[@TheScandoman]

Such awesome music for an awesome presentation! A real master work! Thank you very much!

[@AnthonyAndrews0128]

Discovered this earlier today. My mother has the original album. As I write, it's the second time I've played it here. Such an impact that decades later I can still remember a lot of the music. Thanks for uploading it. Been looking for it for ages. :)

[@zeshanalisheikh8191]

Simply Beautiful

[@rockyraccoon8475]

Many thanks. I love this soundtrack!

[@snapdragon8620]

I foolishly loaned my copy out years ago and never got it back. No replacements available. This is a fantastic piece. A great accompaniment to the Michael Wood documentary but stands alone as a brilliant piece of music. Thank you for posting it.

[@daviddenaldi816]

So thrilled I found this!!! It will be on repeat as I do my work- nothing makes Accounting work feel more epic than an epic soundtrack ha ha.....Sounds like it has a bit of a Basil Poulidoris influence.....especially with the heavy drums/kettle drums.

[@RJLbwb]

Thanks for sharing this, this a really striking sound tract.

[@jon-music]

It is perfect music. I have this album on vinyl and I listen it often...

[@goncalovalinho7617]

Genial terry oldfield

[@Eridanus0001]

If there is a superlative beyond brilliant, I'm not sure what the word is. Simply one of the most evocative soundtracks ever recorded. Long a personal favorite.

[@adelheidvancoillie8224]

Ha! I was just re-importing this in my Music library after my computer crashed last week. I got it burned on CD from vinyl way back in 2008, but after the re-import I messed up the order of the tracks, grr. What a wonderful coincidence to find Terry uploaded this to KZbin not long ago!

[@kylefoley76]

thanks a lot for uploading this. i remember watching this docu back in the 90s and I looked it up and was struck by how amazing the music was.

[@moeharvard]

Thank so much for posting. What a wonderful album. Can you tell me about the lyrics?

[@progfan5239]

Awesome work, remember it from 1984 when I discovered it first and have been unable to find it since. You are a talented man, from a talented family. I hope you are well and I hope I can find this in old money some day and play it in my horse and cart.

[@AlistairMelville]

Wonderful work Terry. Really does take me back to that era. Some very powerful voices indeed :-)

[@adamedwards1937]

The TV series spawned by enduring love for history, underpinned by the evocative tracks of the soundtrack, leaving an indelible impression. Thank you. I ma yet ot make it to Greece, but part of my family are up on the ancient march of the Struma valley, scenes of many a Thracian drama, echoing the notes of the kaval.

[@barrydavis987]

A perfect upload. Many, many thanks for this.

[@ffigwit]

Loved the documentary series and love this music!

00:00 the Trojan theme 2:27 Mycenae 6:00 Journey to War 14:25 Troy 17:17 the Trojan theme ... reprise

[@demetriosk3650]

I think he posted on youtube this not along after 17 year old me emailed him asking about it. Ended up buying the vinyl not long after.

[@alex630710]

Just wonderful

[@landonOD66]

AMAZING!! 🔥🔥🙌🏻

[@ChrisJohnson-rl7dw]

Thanks so much for uploading, have been hoping for this upload for years!!!

[@LifeinaFrenchManor]

Adore this soundtrack, it made a brilliant documentary series even better. I managed to buy the vinyl on eBay recently - love it!

[@jessquinn6106]

Fantastic. I just finished watching the mini series for the 100 time. Wondered if there was ever a soundtrack and here its is. Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

[@TerryOldfieldYoutube]

You are welcome ...

[@greigwatson8720]

Many thanks for putting this up. Absolutely loved this album (and the TV series) and had been considering buying a turntable just to listen again.

[@mourneswanderer1767]

I own this on vinyl, however, I cannot for the life of me remember where it is!!! Love this soundtrack so very much indeed.

[@07regia]

I add my thanks to everybody else's.

[@colingraham6032]

Thank you for posting this on KZbin. I've got the LP but nothing to play it on anymore! Trojan War is one of my all-time favourite soundtracks. An absolute masterpiece! ❤❤❤

[@bentobarreirinhas5702]

I love this record so much... It took me more than 30 years to get a copy, that I finally found through the internet and had sent from England. I treasure it and listen to it when I can. I was very happy to find the Terry Oldfield channel, having looked specifically for this music of the trojan war that was once again in my head. I am very gratefull it is available here. Some of the music sounded a little bit different from the last time I heard, but must be I am using the computer and not the turntable, I also found that interesting.

[@tardis1980]

I was able to purchase the vinyl for this on eBay years ago and got it converted to CD but misplaced it. I was happy this was posted after losing my copy.

[@amerarehman6904]

Timeless heartbeat historical soundtrack music!!

[@giauscaesar8047]

The music from the Age of Hero's.

[@BoerChris]

So glad you uploaded this! I used to have the vinyl LP. I wish they would release it again on CD.

[@henrykmalyska4386]

Terry, odnalazłeś wszystkich bohaterów Wojny Trojańskiej. Oni dzięki Twojej pięknej muzyce żyją i opowiadają nam swoją historię. Dziękuję serdecznie za Twoją twórczość i pozdrawiam.

[@chriskimberpersonal2198]

Wow, I had loved this track since finding on the "Telly Hits" album back in the 80's. I had not twigged it was Terry! A great piece of music. So powerful.

[@sgcollins]

After watching the series a few times I got curious whether I could find the soundtrack, and bingo there it was on Bandcamp. Just bought it, very happy. But: I wish I knew in what language the song lyrics are in!

[@TerryOldfieldYoutube]

Ancient Greek mostly… 🌞

[@TheScandoman]

Man! I know I said it was awesome, but I posted that as soon as I found it, based on the music being used in the mini-series... But MAN! when I play the whole thing on the good speakers, it's TWICE as good!

[@TomVincent-JFK63]

Always loved this music. Thanks for posting. Was this ever released on cd?

[@kc3718]

oh, thank you for this, I have the LP but no player. I had the tape and played it to destruction whilst at university many years ago. I also have the dvd of Michael Woods but no dvd player !

[@jonathanpercy3214]

Its great to have this here, My Vinyl is a bit battered. Its a pity it never came out on CD, i'd buy it in a flash, just out of curiosity was there more music from the programme that was never released?

The Trojan Theme: "For multitudes of Trojans and Achaeans alike were that day stretched one by the other's side with faces in the dust." Journey to War: "And they began to take the props from beneath the ships." "Next Diomedes, good at the war-cry, drave at Ares with his spear of bronze, and Pallas Athene sped it mightily against his nethermost belly, where he was girded with his taslets." Helen's Song: "As for the leaves, the wind scattereth some upon the earth, but the forest, as it bourgeons, putteth forth others when the season of spring is come; even so of men one generation springeth up and another passeth away." Theme from 'Congo' - River Journeys: Maji Mengi (Deep Water Everywhere): "For a man with plenty

[@snapdragon8620]

"For a man with plenty of water, Deep water everywhere, Across the river the sun is rising."

If my I.T. skills were better, I could have posted the original lyrics but my gadgets don't do ancient greek...

Lyrics anywhere?

[@wangchukbhutia6732]

where can I find the one in the documentary, anyone please , thank you :)

[@sammq4499]

[@GreggGermain-lk8if]

I wonder if there is any translation for the lyrics that are sung.

[@snapdragon8620]

The lyrics are written on the back of the sleeve on the original LP release. In the original language and an english translation. I could post them here if you want. I think you could probably google them too.

[@Sennmut]

@@snapdragon8620 Please!!!!!!

[@TheScandoman]

Did you ever post anything?
