Vangelis - The Bounty (End Theme)
Вставка

- This is the end credits theme from "The Bounty" composed, arranged, and performed by Vangelis.
In contrast to the atmospheric opening theme, the end theme is very melodic and somewhat melancholy but very beautiful. Although the official version of the piece is not as good as the version in the film, lacking some of the percussion effects, it is still a very nice composition to listen to.
The video itself consists of some random space art that I found on Google, concluding with a nostalgic look back to the early days of exploration and a hidden surprise at the end.
I have been to Tahiti on a sailing ship and anchored in Cook's Bay just over from where they filmed "Mutiny On The Bounty." (Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson). I couldn't get his wonderful soundtrack out of my head! No music will ever capture my experience like Vangelis. Moorea, is the island where this all took place. OMG, the most beautiful place on earth that I have ever seen. The movie; no special effects or trick camera shots, just pure beautiful nature as few are ever permitted to see it. I have been so blessed!
@@dollseyewarped Yes, more than amazing. I've traveled all over the world to beautiful places, but I got a tattoo here as a souvenir of the most beautiful place I've seen so fare (and that was a tough choice). Go there if you can. The replica HMS Bounty they used in the movie, is in Sydney harbor and I got to steer it around the bay. What a thrill! It completed the whole experience.
That’s a Brilliant song! Had ever heard till today! 12-15-22. On my Radio station KOCI 101.5 My Buddy The Poorman played it! BEAUTIFUL!
@@michaelmitchell5380 I'll remember that!
@@michaelmitchell5380 I'll remember that!
yes, simplicity is the key.
I love listening to Einaudi, Tiersen, and Zimmer. As great as they are, they can't hold a candle to Vangelis for exploring and exploding the boundaries of musical possibilities.
So true
Exacto!!!
agreed, Vangelis did more in 3yrs than Zimmer in a lifetime
remove tiersen and einaudi. they dont belong anywhere near vangelis and zimmer
RIP Vangelis. The best ever composer. My best memories from my childhood comes from his music
Me too, I can remember my first impressions in the house of a friend. Jon & Vangelis, 1982. I'm deeply sad, the maestro has gone :(
X2
Fuck 2022 for taking him as well as Michael Kopsa and Kevin Conroy from us. All of those people made my childhood and teenage years awesome.
I feel very proud that my country gave birth to Vangelis and above all that he is respected and loved worldwide.

I to nazywa się: zdrowy patriotyzm. Vangelis zrobił kawał ścieżki dźwiękowej do mojego życia! Gratuluję rodaka!
One of the most beautiful Vangelis tunes for me.
Ja for me too
Yes the start of this is awesome.

Still... :(
yeah for me too
Si totalmente, para una de las más bellas; te transporta a otras galaxias
The Bounty…What an amazing movie with an all star cast! A mesmorising theme also..thanks to Vangelis for this and many of your other works RIP
Same here respect for movie and music
This music is so deep. It’s like the wisdom of god in it.
Listening to this in 2022 after hearing the sad news, with tears in my eyes.....such beautiful music......
Evangelos Papathanassiou. A true musical genius.
One of the greatest pieces of music you will hear in your life!
Vangelis is the most underrated composer of all time. His music surrounds you, enters you and stays with you forever. Melancholic, sedative and peaceful.
Underrated? Absolutely!
He's not "underrated"
My question is---what has he written and recorded lately?
Is he underrated? I think there's a broad concept of him as modern genius
Not underrated at all. Too bad that you feel this way 🙂
He had his time of fame, almost three decades, long before these You Tube times: won an Oscar for the best score (although, it is a wrong construct because there should be Vangelis award), concerts all over the world, numerous pop references in TV shows...
He already was an acclaimed, unique score composer when e.g. Hans Zimmer was still experimenting with synth pop bands. He was one of the modern electronic music pioneers. And a lot of composers/arrangers learned from him.
My strong guess is that after "Alexander"s fiasco he realized that he don't want to produce music anymore.
Don't forget that he is almost 80 years old at the moment 🙂
Vangelis dancing in the cosmos, utterly breathtaking 🙏🚀🖤 RIP maestro
what a movie, what a cast and what a soundtrack, vangelis is phenomenal
Anybody under 40 probably doesn't even remember this movie. This song at the end with the credits blew me away. You don't ever forget this song.
Wasn't this Christian a friend of yours?
He was sir .
Watched the movie from videocasette in 80's. Music was longer than end titles.
@Rishi Agreed. They don't make films like this anymore. Straightforward period dramas are are a thing of the past. The Bounty, The Patriot, Braveheart, Gallipoli, Apocolypto, all great films. Mel Gibson is an outstanding filmmaker. Sadly his films wouldn't be popular today as they aren't laden with CGI, explosions and superheroes.
I was 14 when this movie came out. But I never heard of it until sometime circa 2003-2007. Oh well, who knows everything. :)
Not many of us...I’m 33 saw this when I was like 12-14 has stayed with me ever since score has a lot to do with it I think
Makes me wanna go to Pitcairn island right away ...
It's so hypnotic and deep ...
The movie is so underrated - the cast is magnificent and the performances , especially Gibson's , are brilliant .
It is one of the most beautiful tunes by Vangelis to me.
I’m turning 40 soon but I’ve loved this movie for years and owned the music piece since my early twenties thanks to a Sunday morning car boot sale which at the time I didn’t know what it was other than chariots of fire, when I got to this track it was like something I’d never heard before and something I’d never forget and something I’d always come back to when I wanted to level myself out
Some of the most beautiful music ever created.
This is no ordinary music. This is music that speaks to your soul. I meditate with Vangelis's music❤❤
That’s cool. I wish I could properly Meditate.
Me too. This music reaches deeply your mind.
Couple of years ago, when my dad died, I said goodbye to him by listening constantly to this amazing theme. Off to the unknown distances, my good old Ivan! Love you, always!
Sorry for your loss.This movie was favourite of my late father.We used to watch it together at night..this music reminds me him. He died ten years ago😪and every day I think of him....
@@ninaholicova3984 Sorry for your loss... God rest his soul...
God bless you both xx
Awesome
There are no words...
It's just a masterpiece !! Χαιρετισμούς από την Ελλάδα.
Ευχαριστώ την Ελλάδα που μας χάρισε αυτή την καθολική ιδιοφυία που είναι ο Βαγγέλης. Φιλάκια από την Ισπανία
Thank you Greece for giving us that universal genius as Vangelis. Greetings from Spain
😢😢😢😢😢
Ο μεγαλύτερος συνθέτης, πού υπήρχε, Ελλάδα κλαίει σήμερα.
Vamgelis..genius extraordinaire...my favourite piece by him is this..the melancholy and lyricism..❤
I fulfilled a dream of visiting Tahiti 5 years ago. I stayed on Moorea for a month, where Bounty was filmed, and this was in my head the whole time.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to this song to jolt me out of autopilot and to really feel the majesty of this strange miracle we call life.
You took the words right out of my mouth
@@joaquindelarosa1215 what words, it's not a song
RIP Mr Vangelis et merci pour cette sublime BO.
I've listened to this at least 5000 times since 1990...it moves my soul.
Robert Reinhart mine to and I totally agree with you n big hello from L.A XoXo
It Is My "Go To" Song When I Need To Do Some Extremely Heavy Thinking And Processing.....And I Always Come Away With The Right Answer And Solution-Also Go To The Beach To Calm Myself In Conjunction With Listening To This Great And Beautiful Ballad💞💯🙇.
Indeed🙇.
it has a magical tempo
Mee too
This is an hypnotic masterpiece that stimulates imagination and just kills anxiety disorder - a soul remedy 🙌🏻🧘🏻♂️❤️ my meditation trigger
RIP buddy. This was always one of my favourites
Very powerful soundtrack throughout the entire movie! The music and the movie are a perfect blend!
This piece of music will last for centuries to come. Absolutly stunning and very emotional music composed bij a true genius Vangelis.
Espectacular película. La ví un año que fue hermoso en mi vida. Paisajes del paraíso, música de dioses. Saludos desde Concepción, en el sur del bello Chile.
es hermosa la pelicula , la expedicion real paso por nuestra querida patagonia. hoy en dia el cabo de hornos es dificil de navegar, lo que habra sido hace mas de 200 años.
R.I.P. His music touched millions around the world.
mebbe even billions.......
One of the most stunning pieces ever written for film - and even more amazing because it is completely at odds with the premise and setting of the movie. Love it.
Originally hailing from the Greater Boston area yet now finding myself nestled deep in the upper Midwest over 1100 miles away all while feeling this powerful sense of isolation & loneliness I can identify, on certain levels, with the theme of this song, as it touches upon these deep emotional & primal chords, segueing into my soul with sadness, regret, yearning, this faint hope & a profound degree of far flung disconnectedness.
This magnificent song is eerily reminiscent of how I'm feeling at the moment.
This is the piece of music I want played at my funeral. Very atmospheric.
Good choice, best to shorten it though
This is simply mind-blowing.
Vangelis has a magic touch. The Bounty, Blade Runner, 1492.......... he just has a way of writing music to make a movie just THAT much better. Amazingly talented man.
Probably my single favorite piece of music ever. Play this at my funeral.
Spot on bro.
For me, Deliverance, from Antarctica.😪😥
Phil Anderson me too! It holds so many emotions for me too
@@flyboy0536 jajaja
For me, Nina Pinta & Santa Maria
There's something very appealing about a synthesizer score on an historical movie. They wouldn't do this now.
Nicholas Brittel does this with The King (2019)
Actually, they do do this now......you need to get out and see more movies
Vangelis helped popularize it.
@@drewweiss4384 Музыка Николаса Брителла камерная, словно автор существует в рамках некой модели вселенной ограниченного объёма. Я не оспариваю вкус и цвет и гениальность автора. Это другой срез, другая вселенная, другие рамки и преграды. Героика.
Вангелис мастер ткать бесконечность и грусть. Бесконечность, не ограниченную никакими рамками
Truly a Titan, a one man orchestra, been listening to synth electronica since I was 12, am 54 now, Vangelis is the best modern composer hands down. A great son of Greece.
I am listening to this music in January 2020.......
Vangelis was always ahead of time while composing his music even in 1975
👍👍👍
eine traumhafte Melodie eines Ausnahmekünstlers. Sie geht tief ins Herz und lädt zum Träumen ein. R.I.P
Sends shivers down my spine every time.
Yeah...me too !.. everytime.
Tüm zamanların en büyüleyici müziği...zamanın ta ötesinde ...sakinleştirici, melankolik ve huzurlu...
👍
Same here I love every thing about vangelis
this music could not be more perfect to convey the story line of the Bounty
so beautiful .
This modern day version of the Bounty had to have the very best soundtrack. That's why Vangelis was chosen to compose this haunting score. Nobody else could produce this perfect piece of modern day technical sound , as he could.
Only Vangelis can play with your mind like that, that sense of desperation and hopelessness that words can't describe yet so effortlessly painted with his music, that soundtrack is in a class of its own true masterpiece that can't be matched with anything earthly.
The vibe I get from this beautifully haunting piece is both deeply stirring and breathtaking, in this largely positive and uplifting manner, while its sounds are of such an immeasurably cosmic and celestial nature that I feel weightless, transported so serenely and lovingly across the vast breadth and scope of our vast Galaxy, that ocean of limitless revelation and infinite magnificence, that sublime ocean of divinely inspired awe, of newfound hope rekindled within, of otherworldly redemption, and of another, more loftily profound and continued existence, an altogether new adventure, this spiritual journey meant to both purify and enlighten my soul, as I discover, with joy and love, the genuine essence of who I really am.
For as Shakespeare once wrote, What Dreams May Come, and the hauntingly soothing and reassuring sounds of this amazing, cosmically pulsing piece are very evocative of those words, though evocative under a vastly different and more celestial context, one that denotes the blessings and endearing bliss of the afterlife, all nostalgic poignancy and smoothly unfolding realizations, these realizations that blossom with rapture through time and space, with memories of past lifetimes glittering within one's greatly expanded consciousness, the better, more fond and exciting memories, along with those of a more heartfelt and soulful nature, thus does one's spirit ascend to these higher, more meaningful realms, those more esoteric planes of existence that take centuries of living several lifetimes to reach, yet which welcome new arrivals with open arms and loving grace.
That is what this timeless masterpiece means to me, and what I see and feel every time I become luxuriously subsumed within the otherworldly magic of its sounds. Haunting, yet reassuring and sublimely beautiful all the same.
Vangelis my favorite composer. He paints and creates with sound
And Vangelis wasn't even nominated for an Oscar for this. What the hell were they thinking?
@Jeremy853
False because you don't agree .
Nice one trump.
@@twomindz79 To be fair they do have their worth,but also have been false/unfair many times and repeatedly neglected well known and acknowledged masterpieces and creators.
@@Realmasterorder let’s hope they didn’t neglect Contact Masterpiece of a film.
My friend, I am not sure, you can check information on Wikipedia, but Vangelis wasn't nominated for Oscar even for Blade Runner. That is even worst.
They WERE'N'T , Thinking !
RIP Vangelis Papathanassiou. Really enjoyed your music.
this music blows me away, especially thinking about the film too.
haunting it really is perfect for the end of film where they get stuck on the
island and ship burns up- wow.
The music along with The Bounty burning and sinking at the end of movie is a beautiful scene...
lol, "Youre an animal Churchill" My mother told me once that back in the 1950's when she trained as a nurse in London she had some of the Pitcairn Islanders staying in the hospital she was at. She told me how the most striking thing about them was the way they talked still saying words used in the old english language such as thou as of opposed to they which we commonly hear today. 200 years of isolation continued such language to be used and with little contact with the outside world it is not surprising.
There are still areas of the USA , where they talk that way---mostly religious groups, like the Mormons, Quaker's and Shaker's
This is an amazing detail of this story. I'd like to read more about this.
@@laxeystu8096 The Pitcairn Islanders today have their own language which is a mix of old english and polynesian.
@@NZfabrock They could have used this in the film
Vangelis Éternel.❤
Vangelis will be 78 this year. I hope that he will stay with us for many more years. Can't wait for Juno to Jupiter. His new album. 18! Tracks. Greetings from Belgium. Dirk.
Es una musica que es para elevar nuestra emocion en forma superior.
I THINK VANGELIS IS NOT LESS THAN THE GREAT AND OLDERS MUSICIANS LIKE MOZART, BETHOVEN, BACH VIVALDI. HE IS A MODERN AND GENIUS LIKE THOSE.
superrimopu he should be taught in schools as a part of music history.
superrimopu I agree with u
I see this said a lot and don't really get it. Someone like John Williams is more comparable. Vangelis music has nowhere near the structural complexity. That's both it's genius and it's downfall. He doesn't really compose he just plays instinctively. His music doesn't really work when covered by an orchestra because it's the sound itself that is the most important. I would argue there's better composers than Vangelis in the traditional sense but not many better musicians.
@@Bladerunner-yd5lk Vangelis also composes the sound and so it is more complete. Also traditional orchestras are not up to date. Beethoven (i think or haydn or mozart) had added additional instruments to the orchestra to get more sounds, and now people agree with the change. People have to agree to add the new instruments now as well. And also they have to really pay attention to make something close to the original sound because this is the point ( Mozart was very strict about how they played the violins), and the orchetras fail to get sth close to the sound, it is the orchestras that fail and do not match their task to present the piece.
Vangelis can do structural complexity he has shown mostly on pieces that are not official, but he wants the heart of it and to remove the according to him redundancies. For many "complex pieces" it is the simple great melody that they are built on that makes them great many times. Apart from that it is easy to build the engineering structure above many times. Some composers have said, I don't compose because I don't have the inspiration it doesnt come if it comes i will do, it is easy to build the orchestral part and the structure but I don't have the inspiration for the melody (the mean the simpler melody that makes the backbone)
For me Vangelis is comparable but with the goal of the artist in mind, there are great sculptors and painters that do not replicate an animal or a person exactly, even Picasso or Van Gogh, but made great art with their goal in mind.
@@Bladerunner-yd5lk You explain it well, it is mostly the SOUND, that cunjures up mental images.
2:44 decending of the tones on synth.... amazingly beautiful and inspiring ..... I have no words this music is about to be listened in 1000 years from now when humans start traveling as turists around universe known and unknown.... I am really sorry I won’t be alive to see it 😟
probably the greatest theme ever it is so beutifull
Simply magnificent ....
Vangelis thank you for this beautiful music from the theme Bounty... Til this day we have the descendance of Christian, Adams, Young leaving in Tahiti Moorea in French Polynésie
Liked this so much I had to buy the Bounty soundtrack. Haunting and beautiful. Brilliant!
YES--the whole soundtrack is excellent, buy it folks.
So many feelings left behind... So many more to come...

A master lesson in how to create an atmospheric track without avoiding the melodic flavour
Epic yet delicate, a beautiful composition.
Beautiful master. R.I.P.
Simply magnificent. Great film as well.
Απίστευτο κομμάτι, η ψυχεδέλεια σε όλο της το μεγαλείο!!!
I m addicted to Vengelis not drugs truly perfect in it's music that to date non have achieve a masterpiece music this kind....Bravo Vangelis n thank you!
Potente tema, de esos que Vangelis sacaba en su época más cinematográfica. Muy "cósmico", y de los más inspirados de su carrera, en mi opinion
Beauty. Enchanting music
Underated movie….magic music and splendid track ! Thanks for share...
VANGELIS es sin ninguna duda un gran genio de nuestro siglo, nos deja un gran legado difícil de igualar.
the beatiful pics of our universe is a perfect match to this theme
This is music worthy of Captain Bligh solo sail back to civilisation after they mutinied and sent him off in the skiff. Probably one of the greatest single handed survival achievements ever.
Very haunting, though amazingly and serenely so, pulsating, as it does, with this rhythmic beauty that smoothly undulates, along with this lightly felt, eerily inspired sensation of enchanted awareness, one that gracefully and lovingly resonates.
It's ALMOST AS THOUGH this calmly mesmerizing and spellbinding music, cosmically captivating as it is, came from someplace in the other-world, some distant realm in the afterlife, or some other divine and sublime paradise not of this planet, not of this plane of existence.
Certainly epitomizes and reveals the mystically inspired genius of Vangelis.
Exactly! And thank you very much!
Fantastic intepretation. Spot on! Undulating, that's the word!
Every time I listen to this beautiful piece of music, I feel the same anguish and despair that the mutineers have on their faces as they watch the Bounty go up in flames. Vangelis is a musical poet !! His brilliance will shine till the end of time...!!!
Dearest ❤️ All, I am writing to inform you that 😊 that this is one of my 💓 favorite songs and movies. Thank you for your great work. Best Regards, Gayle Raye Bremer
Big 60/70/80/90's rock fan. But this song is it, this is the grand song in my mind. I first heard this song on a VHS video called EarthScapes by David Fortney. This song completely changed my views on music and made appreciate how awsome electronic could be. I also got into hifi just so I could better hear this song. In fact there is an anomally in the song at 1:49 that is very hard to hear on low fi speakers or headphones but stands out on great speakers. Only song I have experienced that.
Otra genialidad del "Zeus" de la música! Gloria al gran Vangelis!
One day, sooner or later, this will be considered a "classical synth." Rest in Power Master!
what a piece of art... it brings you out of earth and puts you somewhere out in the cosmos... i love you vangelis...
I clearly remember, she came into my life, and as fast she was there...she was gone. Nothing more than a memory. Left alone, the one I gave my heart to, my heart was shattered. All I have now is the memory and broken dream of what could’ve been, but never was. Envy was my comfort, no other existed, only to betrayal of words and actions. Life is recycled, no matter the outcome, there is tomorrow, God willing the power to overcome feelings, never trust feelings, they always change, guard the mind, live within limits....
beautiful and melancholic love the film aswell very sad were they burn the boat knowing they will never see home love love love better times now sadly gone
Fantástico trascendental simplemente mayestuoso... La música de las esferas... Genio Vangelis 😀
RIP, maestro.
Vangelis is a god sent angel to make us experience us the beauty and hidden dimensions of music.. For ex:- every bit of sound that he produce by using the instruments is so powerful, universal and mystic.
Rest in peace Vangelis and thank you.
Haunting, cosmically inspired and eerily breathtaking, all while having, as it does, and as has been written, this deep and poignant touch of the ""melancholy.""
Though what New Wave and rhythmic brilliance, how wonderfully and euphorically haunting, and how divinely enchanting, music such as this just expands the consciousness and the mind, all while elevating the spirit, mystically driven as it is.
There is definitely something profoundly primal and divinely cosmic about this piece of music, seamlessly rendered, sweetly hypnotic and gracefully melodic as its other-worldly sounds are, undulating with this haunting power and soulful depth.
After my passing---during that ultimate and eventual transition between this plane of existence and the next, largely enigmatic one that awaits us all---I would not be displeased to have this music, this fantastic and sublimely soul expanding music, accompany me during that spiritual journey, loftily and magically blossoming as it will prove to be. Not at all.
For if there is a more beautifully, more pleasingly and more ingeniously haunting piece of music, I have yet to hear it.
Vangelis is a musical God, and just about the finest to emerge over the last two decades of the 20th century!
Vangelis is the greatest composer of this time!!!!
Won't dispute that statement , he has some record as a composer.👍
awesome,amazing music of great composers VANGELIS
Assolutamente bellissima e emozionante. Bravissimi Vangelis
RIP master! I will miss you Vangelis
the bounty , awesome movie , with Mel Gibson , one of my favourite actors form all time , and of course the music of Vangelis , one of my favourite composers
Opino lo mismo que tú. :)
Agree Totally. Amazing song, theme and soundtrack.
Nuno Botelho You can almost smell the sea in this great movie.
It is a shame the whole soundtrack has never been released.
I know about the "unreal" products, but surely, anybody steeped in Vangelis' music since his time with Demis Roussos and Lucas Sideras in Aphrodite's Child can hear the difference.
Pour moi vangelis c'est un dieu de la musique
Absolutely transcending:)
Played this whilst sailing around Turkey was awesome 😎
''The Bounty'' was a great movie, but this awesome piece of music is more appropriate for the stellar celestial graphics in this video. Vangelis is uncanny when they do their music!
***** Thanks! I had no idea. That dude is awesome!
You should listen to this while watching the sunset onboard a merchant ship , the sun is vanishing beneath the blue horizon and this playing , it is awesome and accurate
I have love film scores for over 65 years and Jon Vangelis is among my very best film composer.
......even if you have zero clue about the man's real name.
que grande es el maestro griego vangelis,viajes al espacio,a las estrellas
Best theme tune ever😚
