Richard Wagner / Trevor Jones: Excalibur (1981) Theme [Extended & Remastered by Gilles Nuytens]

[@billsfan1970]

One of the BEST, most UNDERRATED opening scenes in 80s cinema. Merlin whispers Uther Pendragon's name from across a chaotic battlefield... and he can hear him clearly!😮

[@rexrex118]

Perceval: [holding the Grail to Arthur's lips] You and the land are one. Drink. Arthur: I am wasting away. I cannot die and I cannot live. Perceval: Drink from the chalice. You will be reborn and the land with you. Arthur: [drinks] Perceval... I didn't know how empty was my soul... until it was filled. Kay: [Upon seeing Arthur cured] Arthur. Arthur: [Speaking to Kay] Ready my knights for battle. They shall ride with their King once more. I have lived through others far too long. Lancelot bore my honor and Guenevere my guilt. Mordred bore my sins. My Knight have fought my causes. And now my brother, I shall be... King!

[@darkvoid6928]

What a masterpiece

[@AntiChris84]

Lancelot: Arthur…forgive. Arthur: Lancelot. Lancelot: My salvation is to die a knight of the round table. Arthur: You are that.. and much more. You are it’s greatest knight. You are what is best in men.

I never dug the story of King Arthur till I saw this movie . One of the world's best movies ever .

The ultimate soundtrack to the ultimate motion picture of the Arthurian legend!

[@giobaz]

This movie is a master piece. And the end is so satisfying...

[@rustyrivers7118]

This particular scene in the movie is the ultimate expression of faith. Author is Christ Jesus..."do as i command...", and only when Percival decided in his heart that this time, he would follow his Kings order...then, and only then...the Lady of the Lake raised her hand to receive Excalibur. You must have faith.

I've just seen Captain America and during the film I heard that music and I couldn't believe to my hears, that was Excalibur! The movie of my life, the movie, in a way, gave me the force to go on, I was more than a teenager when I saw it, very troubled in my mind. So the movie became THE MOVIE to me, i've seen it throug the years so many times and this music, thanks Wagner and Jones, is MY music! Thanks again!

Wagner. Ziegfried funeral march

[@FalkorStranix]

Magnificent Valor

[@jimsin101]

Hmm, no mention of Wagner in the title - and this piece confuses me a bit because I'm fairly sure it's not the same version of Siegfried's Funeral March that is used in the film ... it ends differently without a small haunting repetition of the main melody that always makes me think of Excalibur not being lost forever, but will return one day. I should know because I've sat through the final credits many many times.

[@GillesNuytens]

It comes directly from the original soundtrack. "no mention of Wagner in the title"?? Change your glasses and read again!

[@jimsin101]

@@GillesNuytens I should have gone to Specsavers, sorry - and after listening to this one again I see the difference, it actually goes on longer than the one that's in the film - I guess that's the "Extended and remastered by Gilles Nuytens" part - the bit I was talking about wasn't right at the end like I'm used to hearing in the film , because now there's that additional 22 seconds after it.

@@zacharoninoodle The music that is used on the film Excalibur is from the opera by Richard Wagner. So maybe if you looked up the opera details it might tell you all the info. I know one part is Siegried's funeral march and i they have this music clip as Brunnhilde Heilige Braut or something.
