after decades of thinking that "Willow" had one the most memorable soundtracks, I have found this.... jaw dropped.

[@MrCostaC]

James Horner was famous for ripping off copyrighted music motifs

[@lilithbathory3626]

This is seriously one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It's always such a great feeling when you accidentally stumble upon something that ends up becoming so important to you.

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

@@knownuniverse93 Yep. Black Blizzard is a great one. I was just watching it again for the first time in 5 or 6 years, maybe more.

[@knownuniverse93]

@@illuminotmereloaded6896 awesome- the whole series is amazing and one of a kind in television, but this episode just sticks with me. It is timeless.

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

@@knownuniverse93 Right on. I love the series as a whole. It has been my favorite show of all time since it aired, and to me the cancellation is still the biggest blunder and travesty in television. I don't care so much for television anymore, as it is almost entirely uninspired trash and propaganda, but man Carnivale, Deadwood, Rome all within a few years, and all three canceled. Never looked at HBO the same after that. Carnivale was truly ahead of it's time, and anybody who participated in making the show should be very proud.

[@johngough2958]

Greetings from Ireland - this is beautiful. It reminds me of Sean Nós (Old Style) singing in Irish. Even in the earliest written records its was referred to as Old Style, so its really ancient. Bulgarians should be very proud to have this music as part of their heritage.

[@6tttchik]

I too thought it was beautiful. I heard it on the Amazon/Crave series "Carnivale" and was mesmerised by it when I heard it at the end of the Season 1, Episode 4 called "Black Blizzard". I wasn't sure what the influence was but thought it somewhat resembled some kind of mystic ancient Irish Celtic music. And, have now found out I was quite wrong.

[@Japeter2000]

This folk song provided the melody of the theme for the movie "Willow."

[@Mordred86]

i am not crazy then for thinking this, thank you.

[@Japeter2000]

@@Mordred86 I suppose that the melody, from a folk song, is in the public domain. But the composer never credited the source.

[@richardspooner4822]

I too simply had to find out where that track from Carnivale came from. It was like hearing Ave Maria, Handel's Hallelujah or Pie Jesu, among others, for the first time. This is an astonishingly beautiful song. I am not religious but sense something spiritual or other-worldly when I hear beautiful music like this. And there are a number of other wonderful choral compositions on the Mystere album. Great stuff!

[@pietkarregat680]

The scene from Carnivale, in which this song came up, is heartbreaking. I think that combination - song and film - in that particular scene, to be one of the most powerful scenes of the whole Carnivale-production.

[@DenisRadeanu]

Adoro questa canzone, grazie Carnivale.

[@jamesianp]

The overtones in her voice are incredible. At first I thought it was another instrument but it's all her, the vibrato matches exactly.

It amazes me that there are two people out there (at this moment in time) who have disliked (thumbs down) this. This tune has haunted me on a daily basis since I first heard it in the late 80's. It's so freakin pretty.

[@WayneLyons]

I first heard this song 30 years ago, and it still gives me literal shivers every time I listen to it! Transcendent!

[@moonlightfitz]

Wow 30 years ago

[@WayneLyons]

@@moonlightfitz Yup, it was used in the soundtrack of a Canadian arthouse film called 'Jesus of Montreal' in 1989 and my flatmate at the time had an album called Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares. That album is a collection of traditional Bulgarian songs and was released in 1975.

[@moonlightfitz]

@@WayneLyons Yes. I love that album.

[@6tttchik]

@@WayneLyons OMG I didn't know that. I'll have to check it out. Thank you for that background. Now I will be on the hunt for the album as I still have a functional stereo system that would do it justice.

[@Blake_Mills]

My favorite song from carnivale! Fits the scene at the end of black blizzard so well. That scene truly brings tears to my eyes still. Clancy brown is amazing as the villain who is more heroic, and in many ways a better person than Ben. But his fate is already set in stone. But it's actually sad seeing this guy born into evil trying so hard to do good until it consumes him.

Brother Justin is one of the most amazing character arcs I've ever seen. Brilliant writing and brilliant acting from Clancy.

[@robertrichman6873]

I disagree. Brother Justin whether he was the Avatar of Darkness or not, reminded me of so many self important men of power with an over inflated sense of themselves. Dangerous from the get go.

[@LadyCrowJVal]

Very powerful and chilling song. I love it.

[@BloodylocksBathory]

James Horner borrowed some bits and bobs from this piece when composing the Elora Danan theme for Willow. I can definitely hear the influence. What an amazing piece.

[@elsakristina2689]

I remember that movie :) this is beautiful...

[@handznet]

+elsa1942 Definitely, but I like Horners development of the theme much more than this original :) anyway, it was common that composers borrowed folk tunes for their music, Russian music from Tchaikovsky, Korsakov etc is full of this.

yeah :)

if by "bits & bobs" you mean an exact copy haha

And here you have another reason why James Horner, the great film composer, was so controversial with is borrowing of his own materail or of famous pieces composed by others. After you listen to this, go listen to the second part of the Willow theme. You'll hear for yourself.
