    Update:
    There was a Fanfare Variation that I haven't Mentioned in this Video, and that was from the 2019 Movie "Yesterday".
    That Version of the Fanfare was Arranged by Daniel Pemberton.
    Other Fanfare Variations that I haven't Mentioned:
    2017's "Happy Death Day", and This Year's "Fast and Furious 9".

      Just like he did with Titanic in 1997, when the elder Rose starts telling her story and gives us her flashback to Southampton back in 1912. A combination of Horner's music and seeing the Titanic again as if it were 'real' and never sank made it amazing. Just to see it all alive.
      Also, Goldsmith's composition is great too, but seems more like a show-off than really magical, as it was with Horner.

    Jimmy McHugh’s version is the one I remembered because I loved the Universal Monsterverse. Of course, the fanfare was heard in other films, I will always think of the Universal Monsterverse.
    James Horner’s original composition was truly representative of Universal.
    I had thought that John Williams composed this fanfare, but I was wrong. Jerry Goldsmith composed it. Even if a piece is as brief as it is, it is still brilliant and beautiful.

      @@Rlotpir1972 In the DVD commentary of the Richard Donner version of Superman 2, which was filmed simultaneously with the first film, Richard Donner advised John Williams to compose a theme and a score that is in the spirit of Superman. Donner was probably thinking of Sammy Timberg’s theme and Leon Klatzkin’s theme from the television series. The JimmyMcHugh version of the Universal fanfare does have a couple of similarities, as does Jerry Goldsmith’s(whom John Williams had worked for in the beginning of his musical journey). I think John Williams was thinking of Leon Klatzkin’s Superman theme. But I may be wrong.

    While Universal Pictures was founded in 1912, Universal Studios (known today as Universal Studios Hollywood) first opened three years later. In 1964, Universal Studios Hollywood was opened to the public for the first time since the sound era began. Today Universal City is truly "The Entertainment Center of the World." By the way, now there's a Universal Studios Florida, too.

    James Horner's composition of the Universal theme might be amazing to people (specifically people that grew up in the 80s/90s) because it brings out the true magic of movies,
    But Jerry Goldsmith and Brian Tyler had something else cooked up their sleeves when they composed their own fanfare for Universal and boy howdy, did they really flip the bird at James Horner when they made their Universal theme.
    I grew up in the 2000s so Jerry Goldsmith and Brian Tyler’s fanfares are what gives movies their true magic.
