same!! My husband did all of his tv specials and I saw him fly live on stage! I couldn't believe it! This music was magical! And Michelle Kwan went on to make it her signature piece! The most beautiful of all her programs! So beautiful! Chills!
This was the novel. The 55 version was a under two hour movie, and James Dean did a great job in the role...but this miniseries had the time to do the book. Some of the acting is stiff, but Kate has never been played better.
"When I was a kid I didn't think I fit in at all. I was an only child and I lived in these apartments where there weren't any kids at my own age. So I sit outside by myself and I dream so I wouldn't feel so alone. Do you know what is my best dream? My best dream was to fly. Not in a balloon or an airplane, but to push against the air, ride the wind, and fly. Ever fly in your dream? Even today when I feel lonely or insecure I go back to that dream, and it helps leave my problems and my insecurities behind. All the answers are up there. A lot of people have dreams and they don't do anything about them. Sometimes I'm afraid that's going to happen to me. You see, I've been trying to fly for a long time. I guess if I don't stop trying then I haven't lost....." - David Copperfield
So sublime. I find it amazing this was made for a television movie. I find it hard to believe we could produce something like this for a made for TV movie today. Well done. And yes a great piece of music to skate to as well.
I have not been able to cry since my Dad died in 2005. To me it would be accepting his passing. This piece makes me cry. I agree it is sublime! I cannot believe that it has not to my knowledge won some so well deserved award
One of THE best compositions from a movie... I think it even beats John Williams' music. Incredible dynamics and great execution on the theme. The horns intertwine with the strings brings a hypnotic motif. The ending is possibly THE greatest ending ever made. Bravo Mr. Holdridge!!!
hello.I'm a japanease.I've just listning his mvsic Moon light etc.The theme of harmonica knocked me out. So.I reserched his name .aod so I'litning th is music. Beautiful heart warmming.‼️ In the '70s,janease radio brordcast his music as Lee Holdridge and his Orchestra. I remember that!
Not in an airplane or a balloon, but to push against the air, ride the wind. Do you ever fly in your dreams? I do all the time. Even today when I feel lonely or insecure I go back to that dream and it helps me leave my problems and insecurities behind...all the answers are up there. Now a lot of people have dreams and they don't do anything about them. Sometimes I'm afraid that's going to happen to me. Ya See, I ve been trying to fly for a long time now. But I guess if I don't stop trying have net loss. Well tonight I am going to try again. But before I do I want to show you a film of some people who never gave up. Its kinda funny, it's kinda sad. Yet all of them gave it their best shot and tonight I promise...Ill give it mine. D C
Thank you so much for posting this!!!!! I've loved this piece ever since Michelle Kwan skated to it. And I've never been able to find it before. Thanks again.
The opening theme with the flute solo and (possibly my favorite part of this work) the string chords suspension provides a eutrophic sense of freedom... It translate the feeling of flight so perfectly.
Lee Holdridge? I remember him from my adolescent years. I went with him to see On the Waterfront. The acting in that movie impressed me, but Lee was impressed by the music. It took me a few years longer to understand the power and beauty of Leonard Bernstein. Here's to you, Lee. Un gran abrazo.
For many years Lee Holdridge was John Denver's Arranger and Conductor; he's simply a genius, and one of Hollywood's most underrated composers. Thank-You for sharing.
An American Hymn I have seen a summer day that slowly opens like a rose along a quiet road that wanders by And I have smiled and wonder'd Where it goes I have stumbled through the night Alone as any man can be Then found a silent can you full of stars And in my heart I heard them telling me I was home The genlie winds, the rains that fall The tallest trees, and I'm part of it all I've seen the silver mountain tops And golden prairies on my way Now everywhere I go across the land I stand so proudly in the sun and say I am home I've dreamed of eden all my life I find it more and more each day Now everywhere I go across the land I stand so proudly in the sun and say I am home
I remember watching the flying on live the Dream in 1992 and when I saw David pull that off... I bawled! I was on the phone with my sister and she tried to calm me down... I would love for me to put on my cape and just fly away.... Too much Superman and Greatest American Hero I guess.... To fly and get away from my disability and wheelchair is one dream I want to have... Think I will sleep with my cape tonight....
Can someone tell me why this can't be realeased for your tube or Netflix, they seem to have a tight hold on showing this great mini series, I just really like Jane Seymour in this,,,Thank You
A fabulous title and soundtrack superior to the miniseries which it supposed to support I just wish that I could have seen it recorded live with Mr Holdridge conducting .More please ? 👵🏻 ❤️
First time listen to this from David Copperfield - Flying Magic. So peacefull and beautifull. I use this as my meditation music. Thank you for this masterpiece =))
Not that I don't appreciate all the comments about Michelle Kwan, but no comments about the brilliance of the book?? Maybe the greatest book every written. Timshel.
This is the main theme from the East of Eden soundtrack. The CD soundtrack is expensive but you can get the same orchestration from another CD compilation "Music from Lee Holdridge" from Amazon. This soundtrack is from the tv movie version (Timothy Bottoms, Jane Seymour) in the 1980s not the earlier theater version starring James Dean.
I bought it on iTunes. It's under Lee Holdridge on the album East of Eden and Other Original Scores. The most beautifully orchestrated version (the one that Michelle Kwan first skated to) is the "Finale" from East of Eden.
One of the best musical scores from Lee Holdridge. Exquisitely captivating. (Despite the morbidity of the John Steinbeck novel that the movie is adapted from.)
I love how every time a corps announces the pieces they're gonna play, the youtube videos become flooded with corps-related comments. lol. This'll be Phantoms come back year I think. they'll be back where they deserve to be, in the top three. [:
AMAZING !!! 1 of the most beuatiful pieces of music ive EVER HEARD !!! guys i have a performance on stage coming up and i DESPERATLEY need songs/music simillar to this....if you any song please let me know i URGENTLY need it for the stage performance ! thank you very much :) !
I saw an American female skater use this recently and i loved her programme.I can't remember her name though.She was skating in a grand prix and i thought thats he deserved to represent her country instead of Ashley Wagner who tends to underwhelm everyone with missed or under rotated jumps.
The best part is UA-cam's "suggestions" over on the right for videos similar to this one: "50 Cent - Many Men (Wish Death) (Dirty Version)" Really now.
First time I heard this masterpiece was a David Copperfield show - the flying magic. Absolutely fell in love with this music.
same!! My husband did all of his tv specials and I saw him fly live on stage! I couldn't believe it! This music was magical! And Michelle Kwan went on to make it her signature piece! The most beautiful of all her programs! So beautiful! Chills!
"You see, I've been trying to fly a long time. I guess if I don't stop trying I haven't lost."
Major James Dean fan., This music is a masterpiece. Beautiful and flowing.
This movie came out 02/08/1981 the day my daughter was born. I enjoyed this mini series immensely, and this theme song is a masterpiece
This mini-series doesn't get enough love b/c of the 1955 version with James Dean.
This was the novel. The 55 version was a under two hour movie, and James Dean did a great job in the role...but this miniseries had the time to do the book.
Some of the acting is stiff, but Kate has never been played better.
Some of us were here because of DAVID COPPERFIELD, some were here because of MICHELLE KWAN, but we all have to agree that this is one BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
Yessir
I first heard this music when Michelle Kwan skated to it. So, so beautiful. I could listen to it for hours on end.
Love the music because this tv mini series is the best adaptation of this masterpiece bt Steinbeck
Holdridge is a tragically underrated composer if inspired works such as this are anything to go by.
I got here after visiting david Copperfield's flying magic. his performance made me cry.
"When I was a kid I didn't think I fit in at all. I was an only child and I lived in these apartments where there weren't any kids at my own age. So I sit outside by myself and I dream so I wouldn't feel so alone.

@@perejda well done captain obvious 👍
This is why I’m listening to this right now. Thanks so much! I just watched that
Fantastic composer!
The great David copperfield flying sequence is magical brought me here ,love this, thanks Lee
So sublime. I find it amazing this was made for a television movie. I find it hard to believe we could produce something like this for a made for TV movie today. Well done. And yes a great piece of music to skate to as well.
"We". Are you a composer for tv productions?
I have not been able to cry since my Dad died in 2005. To me it would be accepting his passing. This piece makes me cry. I agree it is sublime! I cannot believe that it has not to my knowledge won some so well deserved award
One of THE best compositions from a movie... I think it even beats John Williams' music. Incredible dynamics and great execution on the theme. The horns intertwine with the strings brings a hypnotic motif. The ending is possibly THE greatest ending ever made. Bravo Mr. Holdridge!!!
Quite possibly the most beautiful song ever written.
Wow! There is tears in my eyes and I'm a man. Must be completely heartless, when this music not touch Your soul...
hello.I'm a japanease.I've just listning his mvsic Moon light
etc.The theme of harmonica knocked me out.
So.I reserched his name .aod so I'litning th is music.
Beautiful heart warmming.‼️
In the '70s,janease radio brordcast his music
as Lee Holdridge and his Orchestra.
I remember that!
This music makes me want to just... push against the air... ride the wind... and fly.
Not in an airplane or a balloon, but to push against the air, ride the wind. Do you ever fly in your dreams? I do all the time.

I want to spread myself upon the wind and, like vapor, fly to skies, seeing and feeling all things.
Justin Miller didn’t think I’d see you in the comments here !!
David copperfield brought me here, everything is possible it doesnt mean that is gonna happen, but everything is possible ;)
David Copperfield's wikipedia article of his flying illusion brouht me here !
I was looking for the music from his illusion and I found it ! :-)
same here.
Fell in love after watching the ilusion.
Thank you so much for posting this!!!!! I've loved this piece ever since Michelle Kwan skated to it. And I've never been able to find it before. Thanks again.
We agree. She was the first one that we saw skate to this too. It's a lovely piece and she did some incredible skating to this piece.
Gracie Gold skated to this music just this season (2021-2022)
Michelle skating to it was absolute perfection.
I am a figure skater, and this is my new music for my Short program! :) I love it! It's such a touching piece!
I learned about this through Phantom Regiment. Absolutely stunning. Phantom's arrangement does it justice too.
The opening theme with the flute solo and (possibly my favorite part of this work) the string chords suspension provides a eutrophic sense of freedom... It translate the feeling of flight so perfectly.

wonderful score!!!!!!
町田選手の演技を見て好きになりました！感動ですTT
Great soundtrack! :) The older film musics much better then today! :)
I don’t remember much about the tv show, but I do remember being blown away by the music. So happy to have found it again here.
just beautiful... really bright.....and hopeful.....very well done!!!! luv Jane Seymour as well :-)
For many years Lee Holdridge was John Denver's Arranger and Conductor; he's simply a genius, and one of Hollywood's most underrated composers. Thank-You for sharing.
What a beautiful music. I liked it when I saw Tatsuki Machida's program.
so very beautiful! i remember watching East of Eden the miniseries. have been looking for this masterpiece forever!
An American Hymn
I have seen a summer day
that slowly opens like a rose
along a quiet road that wanders by
And I have smiled and wonder'd
Where it goes
I have stumbled through the night
Alone as any man can be
Then found a silent can you full of stars
And in my heart I heard them telling me
I was home
The genlie winds, the rains that fall
The tallest trees, and I'm part of it all
I've seen the silver mountain tops
And golden prairies on my way
Now everywhere I go across the land
I stand so proudly in the sun and say
I am home
I've dreamed of eden all my life
I find it more and more each day
Now everywhere I go across the land
I stand so proudly in the sun and say
I am home
I saw Phantom at Walnut and I got hooked to all of the music they used in their show....this is probably one of my favorite shows in a while.
awesome awesome choice Phantom I cant wait to hear this at the next camp!!!!! I will be one lucky PHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved watching Michelle Kwan perform to this piece of music. I fell in love with the classical piece. Simply beautiful.
Agreed 1000% Brown Eyes!
I remember watching the flying on live the Dream in 1992 and when I saw David pull that off... I bawled! I was on the phone with my sister and she tried to calm me down... I would love for me to put on my cape and just fly away.... Too much Superman and Greatest American Hero I guess.... To fly and get away from my disability and wheelchair is one dream I want to have... Think I will sleep with my cape tonight....
When I listen to this awesome music it reminds me of Michelle Kwan. Beautiful!
just cant stop playing this amazing music
Michelle Kwan brought me here in 2020 ❤️
This is a beautiful song
This sounds great on my flute. Such beautiful music.
フィギュア町田選手の五輪のSPを見て、この曲好きになりました

This is so beautiful...!

This is so epic. Beautiful! And loved by Ice-dancers!
Creo que es la mejor canción melodica instrumental que he escuchado
First time listen to this from David Copperfield - Flying Magic. So peacefull and beautifull. I use this as my meditation music.
Thank you for this masterpiece =))
Not that I don't appreciate all the comments about Michelle Kwan, but no comments about the brilliance of the book?? Maybe the greatest book every written. Timshel.
David! Finally I found the original.
Masterful composition!
This is the main theme from the East of Eden soundtrack. The CD soundtrack is expensive but you can get the same orchestration from another CD compilation "Music from Lee Holdridge" from Amazon. This soundtrack is from the tv movie version (Timothy Bottoms, Jane Seymour) in the 1980s not the earlier theater version starring James Dean.
frankmichaelchiara The main theme is short and doesn’t contain this intro
Gorgeous!!
PHANTOM REGIMENT!
Very Nice.
I bought it on iTunes. It's under Lee Holdridge on the album East of Eden and Other Original Scores. The most beautifully orchestrated version (the one that Michelle Kwan first skated to) is the "Finale" from East of Eden.
hmm, I'm trying to find this particular version. The Finale doesn't have the intro section, which makes the song for me.
Luan Dang I don’t find the intro in “ Finale” of East of Eden original soundtrack
David Copperfield!
Superman and David Copperfield made me beileve a man can fly .)
TopanStarwalker How about Michael Jordan? lol
R. Kelly believes he can fly
aghaanantyab He's singing in young MJ's point-of-view from Space Jam.
hahahaha good one..
One of the best musical scores from Lee Holdridge. Exquisitely captivating. (Despite the morbidity of the John Steinbeck novel that the movie is adapted from.)
Im here for the one and only reason~ Phantom
I love how every time a corps announces the pieces they're gonna play, the youtube videos become flooded with corps-related comments. lol.
This'll be Phantoms come back year I think. they'll be back where they deserve to be, in the top three. [:
Placido Domingo &John Denver in1981 brought me here .
Now I hope jackie evancho singing!
This makes me think of a great friend of mine.
GRETA CACCIOLO TI VOGLIO BENE!!!!!
太美了 音乐穿越时空！美轮美奂！🌹
Awesome, Phantom Regiment is using this piece this year. Epic!
Try listening to Leonard Rosenman's "Abra's Theme" from the original East of Eden with Jimmy Dean and Julie Harris.
Like it
AMAZING !!! 1 of the most beuatiful pieces of music ive EVER HEARD !!!

Go Phantom!
Just beautiful. Thank You for sharing with Us.\
Lorraine
Tatsuki Machida brought me here =)))
david copperfield----"flying"
Never saw the movie but I did watch David Copperfield fly around on stage lol
Who’s here looking for David copperfield music? :)
Dude there’s a website online which has the names of all his music for his tv specials and shows. Just google “David copperfield show music “
Placido Domingo performs this "An American Hymn" on "Perhaps Love" album from '86. He does it justice.
yeah it is
Pull up Ennio Morricone The Mission. It is a nine minute, 3 movement piece; it will knock your socks off.
@STApercussionkid Screw the top three...They'll be no. 1!!!!
@BattleMaster1013 Loving Phantom's interpretation!
Michelle Kwan put this beautiful music on the map, IMO.
look on lee holdridge's website - he has the musical score to this movie and a lot of others.
For all DCI Fans....This Phantom Regiment’s opener from the "Juliet" show.
That makes me sad...
I saw an American female skater use this recently and i loved her programme.I can't remember her name though.She was skating in a grand prix and i thought thats he deserved to represent her country instead of Ashley Wagner who tends to underwhelm everyone with missed or under rotated jumps.
David Copperfield sent me here :D
The best part is UA-cam's "suggestions" over on the right for videos similar to this one: "50 Cent - Many Men (Wish Death) (Dirty Version)"
Really now.
I want to see this movie but do not see where it's streaming? I've tried and looked but to no avail...😢
David Copperfield Flying this song is nice song.
same here
いやいや、こちら💁のEdenの東は好き💕ですよ。skate⛸の町田樹🌳さんが使用してfirst初めて知りましたからねー
The dream
Still can't get over that jpeg. haha
tatsuki machida sp brought me here.
⛸️ Knew this piece from Michele Kwan. ⛸️
This was Arons theme music I think Hart Bochner and Karen Allen's Abra and Aron
@STApercussionkid Ha!
@MysticLaian Me too.
How have you managed to combine two tracks? I never found it like this in the album, Mr, Mrs uploader
