Vangelis - Opening, Closing & Alternate Titles from The Bounty
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- These three pieces of musical majesty by Vangelis generate an awareness of the ominous force, yet serene tranquility of the sea. The vastness of the ocean surges against the coastline and reminds us that beneath the sparkling allure of the waves lies a terrible strength, ready to rise up with overwhelming power.
My photos were intertwined to accompany the themes from The Bounty and extend a visual link to the listener, so that they might immerse themselves into these sweeping measures.

I remember... Summer of 1984. Went to see this movie. The opening scene was so dark, seductive and foreboding. And the closing theme is my favorite closing theme of all time. I sat in that theater seat and listened until the theater lights came on.
The closing theme is a masterpiece, eternal - R.I.P. Vangelis
@Gavan Hogan and don't forget.... no Capt. Bligh. Lol
You like WAR dont you I gone give it with plessure 💣
Lol 💣🤘
That is a great story, thanks for sharing!
RIP Vangelis. Thank you for all these masterpieces. The Bounty wouldn't be the same without this hypnotic music.
Pure Genius!
Gone too soon!
this music in engraved in my subconscious since I was a baby. Been searching for it so long.. feels like some past life
Very true!
yes, master of his craft. His works are unforgettable.
Only watched this movie for the first time a few months ago. One of the best examples of how a score can enhance the quality of a film immeasurably. A bold decision to go with a synthesizer score for a period movie. And it works, boy does it work.
A massively underrated soundtrack and massively underrated film.
Throbbing tension and menace, with an undercurrent of melancholy and homesickness.
i don't associate it with homesickness at all, it sounds more mysterious to me, like from a bygone era and the journey into the unknown, it also fits in with the colonial era and when expeditions penetrate the depths of the jungle
desperate yes, such expeditions usually wear that
The music evokes many things for many people depending on life experiences. I think for those of us in our 40s that grew up in the 80s, it can really hit some emotional strings in our souls. Depending on your path in life, it could go from simple melancholy to deep dread. Visions of family members gone, perhaps even those that were not so kind, or even some event that was in fact positive, but the flow of time and the distance from those life events provoke a sadness that cannot be quenched.
Agreed. Superb film.
Dont forget paradise like location .
Soundtrack is not even released yet. Only 2 tracks. And on some other album ( themes 3 I think) , a 3rd track
Hopkins and Gibson are fantastic together in this.
And who had ever heard of Liam Neeson?
Also actor who played Fryer. But no doubt Gibson amd Hopkins.
Some of the best work that either actor ever did, back when they were paid for their acting and not for their names as box-office draws.

This film is a Master-Piece.
Vangelis. Melvin Bragg.
This movie ouzes talent and brilliance. It is a crying shame it's not celebrated and that the natural follow-on film wasn't made.
But celebrate the movie we did get.
Vangelis was out of this World, he got a sense of music directly from Heaven.... he didnt need music schools!
R. I. P. Evangelis. Magnificent music, for great movies. It seems like a dream.
I had scheduled my TV to play The Bounty and didn't realise it was to play at 1am in the morning, so I woke up to the sound of this amazing sound track at the start of the movie. I proceeded to the lounge to watch the film and was enraptured to the end.
I cruised to Tahiti. On deck at dawn as we approached Moorea with this music in my ear buds. What a magical moment!
Outstanding! But did a large contingent of the natives come out to greet your ship in outriggers?
Catamarans

Man I thought I was the only one! So nice to hear so many people love it. When I saw this movie on its release I was struck right away by this score. So beautiful it almost makes you cry.
Same here. It’s so evocative
Hey let's not forget about the Blade Runner masterpieces!!
I keep coming back to this time and again. It does something to my brain... can't describe exactly what.
RIP Vangelis. This score reminds me of expansive beauty juxtaposed with a lurking sense of danger.
yes, he capured those senses' For me too, The most emotional track is the outro, although, I've always imagined a view of the ship, crossing the vast Pacific , as seen from a great height, and with the Bounty, looking like a lost toy.
Vangelis, the man from other planet. Music beyond time and eternal… something what will last for mankind..
the most underrated Vangelis soundtrack of all. Captures the atmosphere even better than Blade Runner.
spot on.
I'll just say this was probably Vangelis best work, I agree with you!
@@alexlifeson1969 I agree
I disagree, Blade Runner can never be topped, this is a masterpiece though.
What about the score for 1492?
RIP to the gifted artist who gave us many masterpieces.
Meny jealous on masterpiece they show it very smart people here 👌💣
Absolutely love this film, an all star cast thst you'll never, ever again see in one film ever again.
The sound, keyboard synthesiser is very 1984, a great year like the lovely summer we had with all our loved one's present back then, but sadly no longer with us.
I find that summeresque keyboard very saddening, those times and people no longer with us, it wS a very different time and world back then. Better than now.
i was just a 9 year old kid in croatia....the year was 1991. and the war just broke out with serbia. i was about to go to the train as my parents sent me to our family in switzerland. and this movie was just on as i watched it packing my bags. this opening titles theme got imprinted in me for life and it played in my head for years as it perfectly helped me cope and summerize the ambience i felt in my country there in the beggining of war during blackouts... and to cope with those unknown intense feelings of fear and unpredictability of war. pure masterpiece
Calling Vangelis a genius is an understatement 🙏🏼
One of the best soundtracks ever.Stands in its own right as a masterpiece.
Since i was 10 I loved to listen to him while i was drawing ❤
The original movie version of this piece simply blows you away. The movie has such an incredible atmosphere, beautiful filmography, top-class acting from some of the best actors ever, and one of the most haunting & magnificent soundtracks ever produced
ManyThanx For This Stellar Upload My Dear Friend!!!!! Brilliant Simply Brilliant!!!!,
The Bounty,one of the most dark and haunting soundtracks that Vangelis created.
Absolutely mesmerizing. And Antony Hopkins as Captain. Bligh was awesome!
The works of great master Vangelis will live forever. May him rest in peace and may God have mercy on his soul!
The is one of the best film scores I have ever heard, it fits the film beautifully, the menace, the desire, the longing and the total hopelessness of it all. I thoroughly enjoyed the film, the acting was top notch and the scenery and cinematography were together a thing of beauty to behold. However it was because of Vangelis and this masterpiece of a film score that brought it all together. If you haven't read the book that this particular version of the film is based on I urge you to seek it out and read it, with Vangelis for company ofcourse.
Same could be said for Blade Runner. That movie wouldn't have had the same impact without the music by Vangelis.
AntonioR Software totally agree with you ther, Bladerunner is one of my top three films of all time!
When you add in the theme to Carl Sagan's Cosmos, and the Chariots of Fire soundtrack (particularly Abraham's Theme) then Vangelis music is a major part of my growing up.
Unless they are studying music anyone under the age of 30 or so would have never heard of Vangelis
They are the poorer for it.
He was for sure one of the best composers in music history.
Top 3 soundtracks at all times.
Ennio Morricone - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Vangelis - The Bounty. Hans Zimmer - Rain Man.
Basil poldouris conan the barbarian ?
Vangelis - Blade Runner is the gratest
Giorgio Moroder - Scarface
Music was amazing 😮
A MASTERPIECE OF THE CREATOR...
I fell in love with this movie in 1984. The music played a large part in that.
Once heard, you can not get this soundtrack out of your head.
RIP Vangelis , one of the best compossitor ever "
Not one of the best, he is the best ever.
@@parineetasen2221 Its hard to say one is the best , there is a plenty of the great compossitor"s , Hans Zimmer , Enio Morricone , Mark Snow and there is many more ,,But Vangelis is definitly one of the best and i adore his music"....
@@maximus4552 : I understand that the concept of "best" is very subjective. I should have said Vangelis is the best in my opinion. I am a huge fan of Zimmer, Shore, and others, but the work of Vangelis affects me like no other. His work for Bladerunner (1984) is still my favourite. Then we have The Bounty, Bitter Moon, 1492: Conquest of Paradise just to name a few.
@@parineetasen2221 Yes thats the point, and I understand u," i like this kind a music too and i will listen until im alive 😊 however i also love when some famouse Dj's remake this tunes in the Trance style, and there is a plenty of the mix like that and sound great ... Greetings for u 👋
@@parineetasen2221 My recommendation for u is to try - Chicane, moust of his tunes are such epic, the guy is Dj of Trance and ambiental music, it's deap and emotional even if is not the same ganre but it's amazing how similar and good is and could use his tunes for movie soundtraks same as Vangelis for example or Zimmer. But maybe it's is just my subjective opinion like u said 😁😁👋
First of all: I am not a composer. But I like good music, so I post my opinion here:
Composing was in that time was different, then it is now. Nowadays we got a lot of "cheap" music to please the publishers an make money. None of this will prevail over time. Instead, all good composers will always be remembered in future times. The generations to come will still be listening to Vangelis and Enricio Moricone and a few others. Just like Beethoven, Mozart and others are still valued today. I'm thankful that I was alive when Morrricione, Vangelis, and a few others released their music for the first time. It was mind blowing,,,, Thank you, Legends!
Exactly!!! It pisses me off that directors and producers go for the cheap modern filmmusic. Instead they should hire actual gifted composers, such as Frederic Talgorn. That man can compose!!!
This film is the perfect work of art - a Gesamtkunstwerk.
Vangelis the best movie COMPOSER in recent history
Just a brilliant atmospheric tune to a brilliantly well made and acted film.
R.I.P MR VANGELIS 🌬️💨🌌
THE BAUNTY Niesamowita muzyka skomponowana z kadrami . Ścieżka dzwiękowa majsterszytk.
Te dzwięki malują obrazy
Masterpiece!!! Wonderful movie, music, story!!!
Well I'm from Pakistan, we used to listen this music during the intense scenes of our national dramas. Had been searching for it, got it now, such nostalgic and awe creating. 80s, the childhood, the dead relatives...........time machinistic music
This was the boarding music for American Airlines many, many years ago!!! I loved this!
I cannot count how many times I've watched this film
The first time at the theater I was amazed at this score. Simple yet perfect . It does everything a film score needs to do. The Bounty made the previous 2 films unwatchable.
I’ve also watched this movie many times, about three times a year, i just can’t imagine going to Pitcairn knowing I was never going home, god bless them all, bligh, Christian ect.
RIP Vangelis
your work will never be forgotten
I'm a huge heavy metal fan, but I consider him the most influential artist in my life. Very sad, there will be no other like him :(
Vangelis touches your soul... and your pineal gland ;) this is not just music...
I have a soul believe me and this touches my bunions His best score was Alexander the Great
The music is beautiful, yet so foreboding and eerie it creates a real feeling of uneasiness.
That mystical trance - it's like the voyage was set for a paradise but that deep menacing background rhythm is warning of something very dark to come. I love all the instruments in this track - it actually does give me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes.
Beautiful but somehow unsettling. RIP great man. You’ll be sadly missed but your legacy in your music will live forever
Captures the beauty, the majesty, but also the loneliness and the danger of the sea
Tausend Mal gehört, man kann nicht genau bekommen,vangelis zum träumen
Thank you #Vangelis....Thank you Mr Papathanasiou....🙏💖You will be for ever in our hearts and minds! Than you sir😔RIP
Vangelis............the man was a on another level.
❤❤❤Huuuge Vangelis fan. He is, he was a Genius with the synthesizer. Not normal. Thanks for all those GEMS that you have given us. RIP. Greetings Dirk Belgium ❤❤❤
He was a modern day beethoven!!,
A master composer of this hugely underrated soundtrack. I saw Bounty at the cinema and loved the film. Rip Vangelis your great works are timeless and l believe will live on for generations to come ❤..........
To echo the comments of others, a massively under appreciated film. For me it's a classic...score, acting, cinematography & more
Amazing VANGELIS !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ FOREVER !!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Amazing music. The atmosphere of the sound is hypnotic and translates well the feeling of tense unease felt by Fletcher and the crew...Also the unknown sorrow of looming tragedy that is the experience the film imbues...Finally, the passion and hope in defiance that leads to the taken opportunity to start again into the unknown. Vangelis does an amazing job conveying betrayal and courage and beauty within the themes to The Bounty. Great film and soundtrack! One of my all time favorites.
Very well said. I've often thought about writing a sequel, based on the historical accounts of what happened on Pitcairn's Island.

Could not have said it better myself Eric. It's an amazing movie with an equally amazing sound track.
People this music does zilch for the drama and romance its horrible
Yes!
This music makes me wanna travel to distant places..
Ano, to je ta hudba, originál hudba k Bounthy filmu. energie ⚡, emoce, zrada 💔
This wonderful score helped to make The Bounty one of my all time favourite films. Love it!
Like all of Vangelis' scores, this soundtrack makes the movie and enhances the most crucial aspects of the film. I love the sound of his music, because it has a kind of dreaminess to it.
Fun fact: Even Vangelis, the composer himself, thinks the soundtrack he created for Mutiny on the Bounty is endlessly more interesting than Chariots of Fire lol
Where did you read this? They are both great.
Antigamente, eu pensava que
Vangelis era das galáxias,
Hoje tenho certeza 😔😔😔
He’s not wrong.
I recognise the depth in the alternate
Vangelis's haunting music, a backdrop to the unfolding drama of the historic mutiny is fitting. The score was of an astounding Neptunian grandeur. Who living in these modern times would not be part of this great adventure on the high seas? The island of Tahiti, is in itself a great allure and a monumental influence on this drama. Spending six months while waiting for the breadfruit to decide its course, the sailors of the Bounty, had become additive to the enchantments and beauty of that fatal shore. Who could blame them for having a glimpse of paradise.
I was 7 when this movie came out, saw it on HBO and was intrigued by the music the history and beautiful naked women of Tahiti.........Mel Gibson and the star studded cast made this movie one of my favorites. Thanks for posting the music, it still gives me chills....
I joined the navy because of this and sailed the world
Mr Hardy!!!!! I Salute You Sir!!!!,!, And Envy you
I have loved this music ever since i first heard it when watching The Bounty 20+ yrs ago. Powerful film....and this music just helps to seal the power of the film. Truly beautiful in all ways. God bless you Vangelis 🔥❤⚡🙏😇💯
Assistindo e Ouvindo em Junho de 2.023...
The brooding "boom boom boom" and the haunting cry like tones overlaid with powerfull tambourine strikes really sell the menace, sheer power and beauty of the open sea. It's a very successful piece at creating a tone of inevitability and powerlessness against the forces of nature. I listen to it often.
Having been to Mo'orea...this music is haunting.
Wonderful island
Thank you for Your amazing music...
Thank you! It's a long one; thanks for sitting through it! I really appreciate the kind words!
I believe this one of Canons finest movies together with "Runaway train" (which btw also have some amazing music for the train). I did not see this movie until 2 years ago! But instantly recognized the music as I had it from a Vangelis film music collection record from late 80s/ early 90s and I listened to way too many times!
I believe it would be near impossible for any mortal being not to be overwhelmed and overawed by the ominous and forbidding power of this music, gracefully melodic and beautifully majestic as it also is.
Amazing, though amazingly haunting, amazingly elemental, and amazingly compelling, with a strong touch of menace as well, all while conjuring up these vivid images of a vast seascape that is absolutely stunning, yet deceptively calm, deceptively gentle, and which has the tremendous power to rise up and overwhelm.
For what is powerfully evoked are these themes and feelings of utter loneliness, of despair, of heartache, of uncertainty, of barely suppressed fear, of passing days, of these whispering voices that warn and cruelly taunt, and of eerie winds that unnerve and haunt, along with, ultimately, such feelings of hope, these feelings steeped in this type of desperate hope that are evoked, of this hope that was believed to have been lost, swallowed up by the immeasurable depths of the restless, fearsome ocean.
Ah, what scenes of majestic beauty are conjured, along with scenes of this majestic menace, this majestic sense of serene desolation, of a tranquility that is only superficial, and of this deeply felt yet unspoken terror, this palpable terror alleviated only by the sight of land (preferably with palm trees, lush vegetation and this plentiful supply of loose, beautiful women).
Any ways, what a score, both magnificent and haunting, eerily reflective and ominously threatening, both otherworldly and fiercely elemental, and both of such unfathomable immensity and of this unsettling, brutal immediacy, all while featuring elements that are both of this menacing and meditative nature. Music such as this captures it all.
That is a brilliant description, thankyou!
@@gaylejensen2640 Thank You❤❤
Love all the bounty movies but this got me loving vangelis.
I sailed off the coast of St Lucia in 2012. One evening as the sun was setting, it cast its golden light onto the shore of the islands lush jungle, while some locals burned dried palm leaves on the beach. I played this track on my headphones while the catamaran approached Soufriere harbour... Magical!
Amzing
The island of Moorea where this was filmed is my favorite place in the world. I have made friends with many of my Tahitian family. The island is even better than in the movie. So peaceful and green and calming. The music and the movie were great.
I have been to the island too. Stayed on a campsite just off a beach. Wonderful memories.
I have wanted to visit the islands of Tahiti for years...It's so beautiful...being in the the vastness of the Pacific, the blues of the sky and water. When I've had enough and done with stuff I say I'm going to Tahiti
@@Sabrina96 If you do plan to go and want questions answered please contact me via email, my address is danielmcd475@gmail.com. I love Moorea and I will be happy to help you. Peace!
@Daniel McDonald Thank you. It would be an amazing area of the world to visit.
This music is amazing and mysterious. Vangelis was a master 👏
In this chaotic world, where noise often overshadows melody, you have emerged as a guiding light, a custodian of the harmony and intrinsic beauty of life. I would like to express my deep gratitude for your unwavering commitment to translating emotions into notes, landscapes into melodies, and dreams into sounds that touch the soul.
Your music has the power to transport us to distant worlds, to make us dance among stars and galaxies, to make us feel the sea breeze on our skin and the warmth of the sun on our faces. With every note, you manage to paint a vivid and vibrant picture, allowing our minds to wander freely and our souls to embrace the infinite.
You are a visionary in the truest sense of the word, a painter of sound who creates with such intense and meaningful strokes that they manage to penetrate the depths of our being. Your artistic sensibility and your ability to grasp the hidden beauty in every corner of the world are an inspiration to all who love music and art.
Thank you for gifting us with timeless masterpieces that will continue to resonate in our hearts and minds for generations to come. Your contribution to the art of music is immense and indelible, and for this, I will be eternally grateful.
With respect and admiration,
Michele Bortolotti (born in Verona, Italy, the town of Romeo and Juliet)
i watch this movie 39 times in cinema at age 15......amazing
+kalin jovic Watching this in theaters would have been awesome.
yes in did !
Illuminator Yes in DID !
I suppose you're in love with Mel Gibson like the rest of us gals?? Eh? Fantastic movie!!!!
My first viewing was in a single screen theater in North Carolina. Those are mostly a thing of the past. I forgot about this film until I found the VHS tape in a discount rack.
Bligh was questioned during the trial as to why he thought he lost the Bounty. “I don’t know, ...it was the place”.
I think this is a key point overlooked, it wasn’t him, or the hard voyage getting there. The crew had tasted paradise and didn’t want to give it up.
The journey by Bligh and his men from Pitcairn back to civilization (Timor, over 4100 miles) - without loss of life - is one of the most incredible journeys of survival ever undertaken.
Great point,
Underrated score and film. RIP Vangelis.
This film and it's soundtrack are the real deal.
Σε ευχαριστουμε #Vangelis…Εισαι ήδη ένας μύθος. Για την ακρίβεια ήσουν από παντα!!!😌
RIP Vangelis
Artist at his best …..fantastic music
¡¡Insuperable,!!!. Vangelis for ever.
同一個主題，Vangelis 巧妙的安排發展成2首截然不同的樂曲，一為片首，一為片尾。
片首曲充滿懸疑，暗伏殺機，給人無限想像及期待；片尾曲豁然開朗，餘韻不絕，讓人無限啟發及懷想。
Vangelis 創造出大量的音色，編織成一幕幕生動精彩的場景，或幽暗，或光明，或緊張，或開闊，樂句平穩而不花俏，結構嚴謹而富含創意，成功地用前衛的音樂，來演繹古老的故事。
如果不作說明，聽眾一樣可以就2首樂曲風格，辨識出何者為片首、片尾曲；沒看過電影，也能營造一片屬於自己的幻想空間。
這就是 Vangelis，獨一無二的 Vangelis，感謝您帶給我們一個由您創造的世界，豐富而精彩的世界，感謝您，大師！
Mr. Roving, your remarks about this music: 'an awareness of the ominous force, yet serene tranquility of the sea', are a perfect description. Memorable, haunting music indeed.
vangelis!!!!!!!!!!! no words
It's the karaoke version lol
This music, foreboding & haunting as it is, touches upon something very deep & primal, something primordial in one's essence, all while evoking this powerful sense of loneliness, of sheer isolation, of ominous uncertainty, of continuous longing, of despair, of trials unseen, of these elemental powers that could rise & overwhelm, powers that are beyond one's control, of destinies uncharted, of fates unfathomable, of unknowable terrors lurking just over the horizon, & of past lifetimes undying, all of which cast a dreadful, dreary spell, this spell that creeps into one's consciousness & organic essence, eerily, frightfully & in a deeply unsettling, primevally stirring fashion.
That is the overall effect that such music has upon me, palpably haunting as it is, unleashing something deep within my soul, something ancient, something viscerally disturbing, these primal fears that lay dormant no more, keenly felt & penetrating as they are, with strong undercurrents of foreboding roiling beneath, thus is the voyage ahead fraught with uncertainties & doubts, though also promising this mystical awakening, this spiritual realization, of divinity & hope everlasting, therefore can some solace be found deep inside.
This music stirs all of that to life. Genius as it is. And hypnotically pleasing.
Wow man, you dig deep. Love it 👌
The greatest music of Vangelis for me.....
This soundtrack blows your mind! Brilliant!!!
VANGELIS simply the B E S T ❤️❤️❤️
Like a dream.............in other planet!!!!
Great Soundtrack....
every time when I listen to this majestic music, I sail on HMS Bounty together with Felcher and the Crew all the way to Matavi Bay... there is no other motion picture, which together with music tells a true story in such a substantial and sensual way. Even if the wrongdoing of mutiny itself is obvious, when I think about the length of journey they all have made, pain and suffer of sailing, beauty of nature they have explored, I begin to understand the mutiners.
I hope you mean Fletcher. Felcher has a quite different meaning. gulp.
@@dclift62 😂😂😂😂
Thank you Vangelis. ! Rip. And cs80…
Its interesting how 18th century naval-action fits with 1980th syntesizers.
TOFKAS01 80's synth mixes well with a lot of things. Its turned out to be a very versatile sound.
Interesting how period pieces in general fitted with early 80s synthetics, used in Chariots of Fire and Gallipoli (also starring Mel Gibson) to name two.
not really
And in the 15th century - 1492 Conquest of Paradise 👍🎥🎼
Vangelis: Música de otra dimensión
Juste magnifique😊😍👍ce régal de musique au fil de cette évadée de la mer😍😍😍😍belle harmonie qui nous fait nous évader comme il faut !!!☀️merci pour ce beau et bon partage🎁🥂👌
By far the best cinematic production and interpretation of the Mutiny on the Bounty, including the Brando film. And I love Brando. The cinematic score clearly captures the mystery and beauty of the island of Tahiti. I have spent many years there and am still in love with the beauty and character of the land. It is both beautiful and sad simultaneously. They removed the album from ITunes and it is great to see it on UA-cam.
Great movie, stunning cast and amazing soundtrack!!
Yes, I couldn't agree more, loved this film :-)
