music of wonders

al-re · Sep 2, 2001

Could anybody help me to find full music of leo's workshop. May be somebody knew an author of this music and it title.
To my mind it'll be a great idea to post all and full music from the Civilisation II

It's good music. Well, at least it's much, MUCH better than the music for the video on the Pyramids.

al-re,

Currently there is a Midi version at the following link. It is on
the player at the top left corner of the page.

Listen to US3's "Cantaloop" Here

Smash obtained information via E-Mail from Tim Train & Michael Ely.
Tim Train & Michael Ely were credited for the Wonder movies in Civ.

Below is a list with the comments by Tim Train in Purple & Michael Ely in Blue.
Along with all the other information collected thus far. At the end
is another list of information that is still needed to finish the project.

Smash deserves the vast majority of the credit for gathering the
"Wonder Music info " with Kemal, Empress, Vrylakas & Apollo lending a hand.
Anyone with additional help to lend, Please feel free to post it.

----------------------------------------------------------

"Most of the wonder movie music was inspired by certain pieces--
we actually mocked them up using the pieces as placeholder, and then
the music guys composed music that is "in the style of" that piece."

WONDER00.MOV -- Pyramids - inspired by Peter Gabriel's "The Feeling Begins"
from the Passion soundtrack.

* WONDER01.MOV -- Hanging Gardens - I can't quite remember the inspiration,
but I think it was from one of those Bamboo Flute compilations. Mike?
I don't remember what track was used for Hanging Gardens either;
I'll have to give it a listen.

WONDER02.MOV -- Colossus - Inspired by the "Main Title" from
" Last of the Mohicans " soundtrack

WONDER03.MOV -- Lighthouse - Inspired by "Elk Hunt"
from " Last of the Mohicans " soundtrack

WONDER04.MOV -- Great Library - Inspired by "Sheeta's Decision" from the
" Laputa: Castle in the Sky " soundtrack.
Personal plug: Laputa: Castle in the Sky is one of my favorite movies, ever,
and has a phenomenal soundtrack. It was directed by Hayao Miyazaki,
who also did the more famous "Princess Mononoke". It's not currently available
in the US, but the rights are owned by Disney and I hope they eventually release it.

WONDER05.MOV -- Oracle - I'm surprised no one got the inspiration for this one:
"Theme From Harry's Game" by Clannad. :-)

.

WONDER06.MOV -- The Great Wall - Inspired by Peter Gabriel's "Gethsemane",
from the Passion soundtrack.

* WONDER07.MOV -- Sun Tzus War Academy - I'm pretty sure this is also
inspired by Gethsemane, but I'm not going to click
through all 21 tracks on that album to be sure :-)

WONDER08.MOV -- King Richards Crusade - "Dance of the Furies" by Gluck,
from Orfeo. One of my fave classical pieces. Christopher Hogwood
and the Academy of Ancient Music do a killer version of this.

WONDER09.MOV -- Marco Polos Embassy - Inspired by "The Kiss", from
the " Last of the Mohicans " soundtrack.

* WONDER10.MOV -- Michelangelos Chapel - Some damn baroque thing.
Don't remember what or who.

* WONDER11.MOV -- Copernicus Observatory - I'm pretty sure this is inspired
by the Laptua soundtrack again--Track 12. It may also be inspired by
"The Glade, Part II" from the Mohicans soundtrack again.
We were pretty into the Mohican soundtrack on this project.

WONDER12.MOV -- Magellans Expedition - Inspired by "Promentory" on Mohicans.

WONDER13.MOV -- Shakespeares Theater -- From Shakespeare's - Henry V

WONDER14.MOV -- Leonardos Workshop -- US3's - Cantaloop
Tim confirmed Leonardo's is inspired by cantaloop.
Good catch on the cantaloop!

WONDER15.MOV -- J.S Bachs Cathedral -- Bach's
Fugue from Tocatta and Fugue in D minor

WONDER16.MOV -- Isaac Newtons College -- Antonio Vivaldi's
Concerto No. 10 in B minor (RV 580)

WONDER17.MOV -- Adam Smiths Trading Company -- Handel's
Arrival of the Queen of Sheba from Solomon

* WONDER18.MOV -- Darwins Voyage - Aaargh. You're going to keep me up
all night long trying to remember this one.

WONDER19.MOV -- Statue of Liberty -- John Philip Sousa's - EL Capitan

* WONDER20.MOV -- The Eiffel Tower - I'm pretty sure this was just
some random accordion music.

WONDER21.MOV -- Womens Suffrage - Inspired by "Swing At The Daisy Chain"
by Count Basie & His Orchestra

* WONDER22.MOV -- Hoover Dam - This was actually inspired by a track on the
Mechwarrior 2 soundtrack. Those guys did an awesome job on their music.
And it's still one of the best opening animations I've ever seen.

WONDER23.MOV -- The Manhattan Project - This was inspired by a Morphine track,
either "Bo's Veranda" or "I Had My Chance" from the Get Shorty soundtrack.
The Morphine track for Manhattan Project was "I Had My Chance." At one point some
QA guys wanted us to switch the music for Manhattan Project and Hoover Dam because
they thought that MP needed "more dramatic music befitting the most destructive weapon
ever produced by mankind," or something like that. But, the MP movie was meant
to be on the dark side. Incidentally, the Morphine track has a lot of intense wailing sax
that couldn't be replicated with digital sounds, so a guitar sound was used instead.

* WONDER24.MOV -- United Nations - I'm pretty sure this was inspired by the
main title to Laputa. But I'm not 100% sure on that one.

WONDER25.MOV -- Apollo Program - Inspired by the beginning of "Telegraph Road",
by Dire Straits. Random memory: we briefly thought about licensing the
80s song "Major Tom" by Peter Schilling for this clip. When put with that music,
the clip is much more celebratory and fun. This somber version is probably
more appropriate, but very different.
 As Tim points out, the music can really change the flavor of a movie.
From what I remember the Apollo Project wasn't even re-edited from the original
version {which did in fact use the "Earth below us" chorus from Major Tom}.
Yet, the feel is very different.

* WONDER26.MOV -- The Seti Program - I think this was another "inspired by
Mechwarrior 2" track.

* WONDER27.MOV -- Cure for Cancer - I think this was inspired by another
Clannad track, but I wouldn't swear to it.
 I'm also pretty sure that the Cure for Cancer was Clannad. 

Glad you like the wonder movies. This brought back some memories, especially
of the mechwarrior soundtrack and Tim's much-used copy of "Last of the Mohicans"!
