Victor Le Masne - Higher (Original) (Paris 2024 Olympic Opening / Closing Ceremony)

[@maxou68800]

It lasted 12 minutes following the horse and the silver rider without anything else happening, yet the music and tension kept me in suspense the whole time

[@deadstar44]

It was the most ratcheting crescendo. The music kept on building up anticipation higher and higher waiting for a release. Almost breathtaking until the final release of the official theme at 5:15.

I can't begin to describe the emotional journey this piece took me on. I've listened to it over and over again. The balance of old and new instruments, the driving rhythm, the surges and descending moments of peace.... I can't believe one piece of music managed to capture so many emotions that not only represented the histories of the country hosting the games but also the experiences thousands of athletes were about to go through.

J'aime beaucoup les ruptures de ton de ce compositeur... ça se rapproche un peu de Camille Saint-Saëns, qu'il a utilisé, je crois. Dommage que ce personnage fantomatique n'ait pas été la vraie déesse Sequana. Le raccord avec le vrai personnage à cheval était un peu raté également, alors que l'idée était belle. Je ne comprends pas l'attrait pour le morbide-fantomatique dans ce spectacle par ailleurs ponctué de morceaux magnifiques.

[@caherineponsard1390]

Bonjour 👋 pour moi c'est la Déesse des sources de la Seine SEQUANA gallo-romaine ayant un pouvoir de guérison. (la cavalière sur le cheval argenté travaille avec l'équipe de production elle effectue les tests du cheval sur l'océan atlantique, le costume argenté brillant créatif réalisé par un designer en parfaite harmonie avec le style du cheval métallique d'une conception et d'une production par une petite entreprise française une prouesse technique bionique représentant des caractéristiques du système vivant,. J'ai aussi aimé la transition avec la cavalière militaire sur le beau cheval blanc. Le mélange des deux époques remis au goût du jour pour une seule histoire vraie. Haaa les goûts et les couleurs 👋.....

[@robingirard7768]

@@caherineponsard1390 L'effet produit est celui d'un chevalier en armure, sans visage, du reste, pas celui d'une déesse antique. Je connais une représentation de Sequana, nue, sur un cheval, à Dijon. A Paris, il y avait un côté plus viril et fantomatique.

The beginning sounds definitely too dark. No wonder some viewers interpreted it as the horse rider of the apocalypse bringing death and destruction when in fact it was meant to symbolize solidarity. A really inappropriate start...

[@mrbravo365]

I wholeheartedly disagree, the tension and dynamics give this a piece of art the feel of a journey, especially the career of an athlete. The pain, the struggle, even failures, with triumphs (like 3:52 and 4:44) folowed by a crescendo of the track "Higher" is such a rush... followed by the eventual decline / retirement and finally, the reognition of legacy.... I think this piece is brilliant and indicative of the Olympic spirit within the athletes, but also within us all.
