Out Of Africa | Soundtrack Suite (John Barry)

[@KAAnn-uc8nn]

Is it too late? Perhaps no one will see these post. I lived in Africa. I lived as a young girl in Nairobi. And I loved it. This film brought it all back.: the sound, the people, the smell of the landscape.. My mother is gone now. And yet this is what brings her back to me.

[@IB-1963]

It is yet another Year later than when you posted (2024) now. I hope you are well. I am 60 now and live in Australia. I was born in Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) in 1963 and lived in Africa for the first 12 years of my life. I remember it well. I love this Movie and the Soundtrack - hard to believe the Movie and Sound Track were first released 39 years ago. My father passed away 11 years ago but my mother is still going strong at 86. God Bless

[@mariemartien3887]

It is never too late. I never lived in Africa and a pure white person so to speak but that movie and music made me feel I lived there in a former life. As long of the sounds and evn the smell live around you, know that your Mom is still alive and is looking over you. That movie and music mad me feel like I was flying over my homeland where I can find the beginning and the end, peace at last.I always wanted to go there but I limit my travels to see my Mom in France considering she is 97. Treasure the memories, smell, landscape, the people and the music that brings you back to your Mom. She is technically gone but not spiritually. She lives in you through that. Embrace her spirit

This soundtrack is bittersweet for me. I cry every time I hear it. It’s been years now. Me and my brother, my only sibling listened to this together. He was diagnosed in 1986 with AIDS. In 1994 he became ill. He wasn’t ready to die. He fought the battle for 2 years. This lovely song was his favorite. It helped to bring him peace and calmed his heart. Michael was a beautiful person who loved life. I look forward to meeting you in heaven with our Lord.

this whole movie and the John Barry music are movie/music PERFECTION!

[@lornalong6468]

I lived in South Africa for 48 years & spent most of my holidays driving around various National wildlife parks and taking safari drives with game rangers. John Barry captures the stillness & drama of Africa's magnificent wildlife, the peace of a dawn or watching animals through the fantastical colours caught & refracted by a dusty savannah sunset. Just driving for mile after mile, Africa's wild open spaces drains all stress & worry from you, stills your mind & opens your heart to new vistas, new adventures, one with nature & sharing that special bond between God's created Kingdom with those you love. John Barry's music captures this perfectly.

The flying sequence always reminds me of my Parents. Not because of the plot, but in the fact that the were both instructor pilots who met working together after WWII. They flew open cockpit biplanes and fell in love soaring through the skies, including landing on beaches like in one scene. They would have both turned 100 years old this year. Dad flew with the USAAF in the South Pacific and Mom was a civilian instructor pilot. “The Greatest Generation”. I miss them so.

As much as I appreciate the comments regarding the "Greatest Generation; Every generation, then and Now, faces a common enemy, Evil and Wanton Destruction! A wise theologian once wrote, and I paraphrase, " Nostalgia may reflect a belief that God is exhausted in the Present." Right now, at this very instant, some Sociopathic Bastard is Contemplating an assault upon the Most innocent and vulnerable: Our Children! Columbine, Sandy Hook, Uvalde...The List goes on, and on.. Ad infinitem Evil accosted us when Six Million men, women, and CHILDREN lost their Innocence and Lives at the Hands of Evil!! Our Generation, not the Greatest Generation, who more than did their Part, asks us this Critically Important Question: " Are you, the Generation of 2024, prepared to do YOUR PART?!?" If OUR generation answers with ANYTHING other than an Unflinching, EMPHATIC, "YES !!" Then we have proven ourselves unworthy before GOD and HISTORY!! Innocense, LOVE, and Especially our Beloved CHILDREN, Will ask what We did during The Pandemie of Mass Murder currently Attacking Civilization? Join me, and Millions of Others in Answering that QUESTION. This is Our Normandy, Our Terblinka, OUR obligation to Fight EVIL with All Our Hearts, and All Our Minds, and All OUR SOULS. Join me in OUR sacred And Honorable Task, repudiating and defeating EVIL once AGAIN! Faithfully and With LOVE, The Rev. Derrill B. Manley, Jr, Ph.D

John Barry was not human . He was an alien descended from the high heavens. No human being can aspire to achieve the Godliness of his music. His music was... and is in perfect sync with the Creator. The vastness, the non-perception of time, the drama and the awareness of how negligible is Man compared to all of Creation.

Love Kenya with a passion and this film and its music stirs memories. Lucky to have visited twice - once at 17 and again at 29 with my new wife - camping both times. The second time, whilst at a campsite near Olorgesailie in the Rift Valley, we heard lions calling to each other in the still of the night. It was the most memorable sound in nature I have ever heard. Somehow, it was reassuring, rather than frightening - whilst the bull elephant at Amboseli, which stayed the night outside our tent, was a little less comforting.

I got a chance to co-write with John on the film “Frances.“ The song was cut from the last scene but Sarah Brightman recorded it.

I'm still here thank God. Never one regret. Out of Africa film score reminds me of that it's marvellous.

[@Deejaay83urj38]

In awe we breath in this most glorious score, learn the brilliance of John Barry and marvel, enthralled. Who else could rival the sweeping masterpiece of Maurice Jarre in Laurence of Arabia. A Passage to India, Doctor Zhivago. This cannot be heard without emotion, it compels tears and must evoke memories of life's deepest experience. Who can not be moved by the hypnotic cadence, sweet passages of beauty which simply blow like warm winds over grassland, in such effortless flow. Ah, and that haunting woodwind . . the sublime tempo and perfectly measured, supremely . . knowing . . pace. The melody, exquisite, perfect, wraps around your soul, cuts through the heart and shatters with a note all defences. The senses soar in glorious moments of ecstacy and the mind seems to lift to a place . . just for a little while, higher. John Barry we thank you. It is art that makes civilisation

The magnificent musical score by John Barry is all I can remember from Out of Africa. I think that I've seem the film twice and I can't even remember what the plot, film or performances were about. Sorry Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. That beautiful musical score can still stay in your memory even a long time after seeing the film. In my opinion, another boring overrated Oscar winning best picture win.

Joe Dunbar theme from dances with wolves is equally amazing and meet Joe black all three are amazing

Reminds me of the wonderful years I spent in Africa. Beautiful!

A superb soundtrack from a movie that was clearly not of its mid-80s era. The cinematography along with this soaring score was more reminiscent of Hollywood's golden age movies.

[@PlumeLumiereTarot]

L'Afrique, un continent mystérieux, un territoire comme un autre monde en certains endroits encore pur des souillures de ce monde. Cette musique nous transporte dans cette beauté sauvage et rude. L'empreinte que nous laisse l'Afrique sur l'âme et le coeur nous transforme à jamais. Merci Monsieur Barry d'avoir su nous livrer sa douceur et ses mystères dans cette magnifique musique, parce que je l'ai vu se révéler devant moi, votre musique éveille tous mes souvenirs. Quelle nostalgie vous éveillez, j'en ai les larmes aux yeux.

@@joycemagdalene7950 Thank-you so much to your reply ！ In the neighborhood of Tokyo , most of the cherry blossoms in full bloom have been scattered , After having been scattered , there are the lacking and pensive atmosphere . The petals which are scattered , and fell cover all over the area and dyes it into pink . By the way Japan is , especially Tokyo is cruel and hustle and bustle with the Coronavirus infection problem Tokyo has more than 100 infected people every day . Don't be careless Be careful with Coronavirus infection . Take care of yourself Good luck ！

Someday please come to Tokyo of the luscious and transient spring where all Japanese people are making merry and floating under the cherry blossoms in full bloom having gorgeous Bento ， delicious foods ， treats and drinks with dancing ， singing ， eating and drinking . Japanese spring banquet is really 「 the Rite of Spring 」 of Stravinsky . Take care of yourself Good luck ！

Absolutely loved this movie. I never tire of watching it. The soundtrack is superb. Wonderful music to take me back to Karen's house in Kenya, which I visited. Great ambience in the music, and her old home. John Barry's music here is par excellence. Hauntingly beautiful.

I saw "Out of Africa" movie like 6 years old little boy. Loved it from first site. Amazing real story written by Karen. Terrific love story played by the best actors Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. John Bary's soundtrack is one of the best pieces. ❤ Robert Henry Przybyla

[@aliyaclare]

This movie came out while I was working in Kenya. It's inextricably linked to that experience and this sound track can still make me cry.

[@ranieriwm]

Amazing isn’t it? How something from so long ago brings back emotions and memories of such intensity. It’s a wonderful theme, perfectly performed. I love it.

If there ever was a soundtrack that aptly describes the terms ‘reverie’ or ‘escapism’ this would be it. Thank you Mr. Barry for the opportunity to be transported to the plains of the Serengeti whilst listening to this sublime masterpiece.

John Barry and Ennio Morricone are with doubt the GREATEST composers, score and conductors ever. I first got into JB's music back in the early 90's and I never tire of listening to his wonderful music. As a genuine human being and a wonderful composer he is missed so much.

[@robertkincaid1239]

What about John Williams he has produced some of cinemas great scores Star Wars being about one of the best scores Harry Potter JFK Raiders of The Lost Ark Schinders List Superman

[@gordygore2981]

John Williams is another great composer and deserves high praise for his work, it's just that I find JB and EM are more emotive. But everyone has their favorites.

A beautiful score, John Barry 's music really captured the atmosphere and story line of the films he lovingly composed for. This is certainly one of my favourites.

my aunt bought my family this tape. grew up with it im 52 yrs old now. know the whole thing by heart, still listen to it, i find it calming. Dad died a few years back so i now also listen to it for nostalgic reasons as well now. it's beautiful music.

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

Oh how I love this beautifully moving music. I remember seeing the movie when it first came out in 1985. I was 25 years old and a HUGE romantic (still am..💕). I fell in love with the movie and the music and had to run out and buy the cassette tape (lol) right away....and now I have the CD. I must’ve listened to this soundtrack thousands and thousands of times. Last time I watched the movie though was probably 30 years ago. Hard to believe it’s been that long....wow. Might have to watch again soon. I was SO in love with that romantic story.....and the romantic music....and with Robert Redford and of course the incomparable Merryl Streep.
