Victor Le Masne - Higher (Original) (Paris 2024 Olympic Opening / Closing Ceremony)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- In a beautiful retrospect of Olympic moments, Victor Le Masne's "Higher" provided a stunning soundtrack to a collection of memories, fusing French touch and four-to-the-floor drums with anthemic strings reminiscent of 70s film scores. It is also grounded in the nostalgic sound of retro sports TV - a genre unto itself.
The composition is not available yet; the first appearance of the essense of this track was a teaser when Le Masne’s keystone Olympic composition "Parade" was revealed in May as the Olympic torch arrived in Marseille aboard a vast ship.
I along with many others searched for the opening ceremony version (look up Reddit and Twitter). The original version appears online in a few places and there is one on UA-cam made from an audio rip that has commentary and announcers voices filtered out.
The version I created is from Australia's Stan Sport broadcast that was in 4K and on 5.1 surround sound. I downloaded the video and extractd the audio. Since announcements and commenattors were on separate tracks, I was able to extract the audio cleanly. The audio does have a very slight crowd noise mixed in, hardly noticeable in the club and radio mixes. It is slightly more present in the original, espcially in quieter moments of the track; that said, it is barely worth mentioning and does not distract from the main music itself. I did amplify the track a bit but added no filters to the original or the radio version. I used Adobe Audition 2023.
I left the original version that accompanies the telecast where the galloping horsewoman launches up the Seine, symbolizing the entire route of the world's delegations, and embodying all the values of Olympism.
I created a short "radio" version of the main horns and the 4 on the floor drume beat as a separate track.
I created another "video" version with the radio mix with the original retrsopect portion of the video. All the jump cuts and edits are from the original video; the only change I made was creating an intro from the years countdown and the Eiffel Tower. I did this as the retrospect highlights did not span the entire length of the song by about 20 seconds so I filled in the small gap. I think it worked. Unfortunately, UA-cam made a copyright claim on it and no matter how many video edits to evade the copyright claim the strike was persistant. Fortunately, you can view it on Tik tok with the link below but it is not listed publicly. Consider it our secret.
Lasty, I created a "club" version that extends the radio version by a few minutes. I didn't go all crazy and try to make a remix, I just wanted a longer version of it but I did add a few filter effects just to give it a little more dynamism towards the end.
Edit: After much discussion and fanfare, it appears the corret title to the track is "Higher". As with many themes, "Parade" forms as the basis for this track but is not considered a remix but a separate track unto itself. I have changed the name as needed. Thanks to everyone who helped!
I hope y'all enjoy!

It lasted 12 minutes following the horse and the silver rider without anything else happening, yet the music and tension kept me in suspense the whole time
It was the most ratcheting crescendo. The music kept on building up anticipation higher and higher waiting for a release. Almost breathtaking until the final release of the official theme at 5:15.
@@deadstar44 for real! I was among the crowd by the river Seine and those thousands of people fell completely silent it was unreal
But they were showing pictures and clips from the history of the games
For nothing because nothing happened
@@hericvzla It was mix with pictures on TV
One of the most epic moment in the history of olympic games opening ceremonies
What happen
I can't begin to describe the emotional journey this piece took me on. I've listened to it over and over again. The balance of old and new instruments, the driving rhythm, the surges and descending moments of peace.... I can't believe one piece of music managed to capture so many emotions that not only represented the histories of the country hosting the games but also the experiences thousands of athletes were about to go through.
@@ThestralGlow a beautiful reply, thank you for sharing! I couldn’t have said it better myself!
🤍
Victor Le Masne has provided us with a stunning soundtrack with so many elements!
By far, the best olympic games' music overture.
Best olympics tune EVER
Sounds like a boss fight theme. And I liked it.
Viktor Le Masne, le Géant de la musique des JO 2024, Médaille d'Or !
highlight of the opening ceremony for sure this piece of music combined with the history of all the past Olympics just gave me goosebumps
5:20 Goosebumps every time
So so true !!! 🥹
on rentre dans le grandiose et l'émotion pur , so so so Goosebumps
Ok, seems like no one is gonna mention it, but the part from 3:50 to 5:10 ... man, the chills and goosebumps i get everytime i listen to this part, with the build up and epic resolution ! When i hear this i close my eyes and i see the bridges lighting up with the silver horse passing under them
Genius! The most uplifting sound I’ve heard in years, possibly decades.
The music of the Paris Opening Ceremonies was amazing.
Only Music ? 🤣😂🤣
merci
Quelle émotion en écoutant de nouveau cette musique !! Cette montée en puissance !
très très fan de cette musique qui a accompagné ces JO de bout en bout, avec tellement autant d'émotions , et la vision de ce cheval mécanique sur l eau sera inoubliable pour ceux qui l ont vu en direct ( et sous la pleau )
I could run miles listening to that masterpiece. Actually I plan on listening to it in the last miles at the Berlin marathon. I can't think of a better instrumental to get me to the finish line, drawing all the energy I have left in the tank and cross it like a champ' ! Thanks A LOT to make it available in such a great quality 🙏🏽
That's fantastic, good luck with your marathon! I agree, what an amazing soundtrack to cover that last stretch of your goal!
If you need FLAAC / MP3 / WAV versions let me know, I can send them your way. Good luck!
I added it to my playlist for Ironman Wisconsin
@@sebastienleroy3251 that’s awesome man, good luck! I can’t imagine how dope that would be to finish with this in the background!
@@mrbravo365 I would love that if you could, please 🙏🏽
I miss you guys, I already miss you
Still can't wait for an official release of this masterpiece...
The best part of the Opening Ceremony by miles
I actually like hearing the audience in the background and especially the horse at the end! Incredible piece!! Thank you for sharing - there has to be a full album of both opening and closing ceremonies. It just wouldn’t be right if they don’t do it.
Incroyable ! Il y a un son Jean Michel Jarre, French touch, John Williams et même Hans Zimmer & Daft Punk
Vous croyez que seulement vôtre jurassic park à existé Je peux citer lawrence d'arabie docteur jivago
Et aussi remonter jusqu'à la musique classique, saint saens, mozart,strauss,ravel, vivaldi, .... ...
J'ai été voir les médias US, certains sont presque en panique car ils se demandent s'ils vont pouvoir faire mieux pour Los Angeles dans 4 ans
@@user-ti8et6gh5z Dvorak, Horst, Wagner, Debussy.
@@shooby02Ils pourront pas faire mieux
On a balancé tellement d’histoire de France dans les scènes, les compositions, les idées que ça en transpire l’histoire de France sur 1600 ans
Je pense qu’on a fait un truc qui ne se refera plus jamais dans l’histoire des Jeux, a moins que Paris les refasse ou alors Athènes
5:18.. favorite part by far.. the organ
It reminds me of saber rider..
The same, I love it so much
Absolute banger
Masterpiece of music
At 5:20 I swear ... had tears in my eyes
@@svenwiessner7373yeah I loved it ! 🤍. All the musical creations of Victor Le Masne were so good, we are so happy and proud of him here.
Chef d œuvre !!!! Mais quelle émotion! ❤️
It was the most fantastic Liveperformance ever ....
Listening to this while watching that horse riding in the Sena and watching some of the very Best Olympics moments was just amazing.
I really love the fact that they included Eric Moussambani's clip on that collage
The part that starts at 9:00 is an all-timer. GOD MODE ACTIVATED.
I am already missing so bad the Olympics and Paralympics 😢😢😭😭😭😭 I read that lots of people made critics about the ceremonies until the Tokyo 2020 medal theme song which was better than this one from Paris, but the feelings from each Olympic games are very unique, each moment and Paris brought these awesome feelings!!! Until nowadays sometimes I run/jog listening this masterpiece from Le Masne!! Merci beaucoup France du Brésil, muito obrigado 🇨🇵🇧🇷
The fast paced section in the middle sounds like it could be used for Rainbow Road in a Mario Kart game
Litterally reminded me of it
Thanks a lot Rodrigo for your work, and for sharing it with thousands of people ! Victor Le Masne, this IS a masterpiece !
WHAT A BANGER !! Can't wait to get my hands on that masterpiecel !
Loved this. It reminded me a bit of Underworld's amazing music for London 2012 (don't take offence at the comparison please, just my interpretation) - so dramatic and perfect for the setting and visuals. Stunning.
Thanks for sharing, this is the best version I've heard so far. Great achievement! If the official album is released, I will buy it for collection.
This piece of music is simply sublime, and i feel so grateful towards the guy who uploaded it. Bravo! 👏 Nomen omen.
5:20 is my fave
Yes 🤍
The pipe organ, an underutilised instrument in today's soundtracks.
Definitely! Brought tears to my eyes 5:20
@@simonlumb7523that was the pinnacle for me, I lost it from then on! Really love the pipe organ!
Some Rocky soundtrack vibe starting at 9:00 . LOVE IT.
The church organ variation on Parade starting at 5:15 is fantastic. I assume this was recorded on one of the famous organs in Paris, perhaps Église Saint-Sulpice? Or were elements of this score actually performed live during the ceremony? I can't quite tell.
I want to know also, pipe organs, the grandest of all instruments...
Saint-Eustache
I believe it was recorded at Radio France: sf1.diapasonmag.fr/wp-content/uploads/diapason/2016/05/Bapteme-du-feu-pour-l-orgue-de-Radio-France.jpg
Merci du fond du cœur
Thank you so much indeed for upload
Enjoy!
I'll share my feelings as well.
Starting at 5:20 when the organ hits... from that part on the rest of the song feels like the last several month of my father's life where he fought cancer and lost in the end...
And at 12:03 it sounds like the moment when he touched the face of god... The relief for him...
R.I.P Dead
LOVE IT! TY FOR POSTING THIS!!!!! ❤
Wonderful piece. One of the highlights, for sure !
Couldn't agree more!
Mon pays peut être parfois le meilleur du pire mais lorsqu'il se passe quelque chose de grand qui va réunir chacun et chacune d'entre nous un miracle se produit et tout d'un coup l'impossible devient possible, des millions de gens deviennent en même temps fiers de ce qu'ils sont ! voilà qui nous sommes peuple de France et nous sommes fiers d'avoir montré au monde entier ce que nous étions capables d'accomplir au travers de l'émotion et nous espérons que le monde entier en gardera une trace indélébile dans leur cœur et leur mémoire ! 🟦⬜🟥
A lovely comment, I agree, France really shined and the French people were incredible hosts!
@@mrbravo365MERCI !👏💝💕
Great work indeed and you did a splendid job in rendering this for UA-cam, thanks!
Artisticamente la mejor puesta en escena de estos juegos. Por la música, por el moviendo del cabello y por el simbolismo.
Bravo Victor Le Masne ! epic music , merci , inoubliable
This was also used in the medal ceremonies, if I remember correctly.
Church Organ @ 5:15 reminds me of the Yes track “Parallels”
Thank you ! 🤍
You’re welcome 😊
@5:17-7:53; This part fuckin SLAPS!!!!!
Thanks sir! Well done!
Pas mal, non ? C'est français.
I wonder if that one riff isn't a deliberate reference to Rainbow Road aha, fucking brilliant
J'aime beaucoup les ruptures de ton de ce compositeur... ça se rapproche un peu de Camille Saint-Saëns, qu'il a utilisé, je crois. Dommage que ce personnage fantomatique n'ait pas été la vraie déesse Sequana. Le raccord avec le vrai personnage à cheval était un peu raté également, alors que l'idée était belle. Je ne comprends pas l'attrait pour le morbide-fantomatique dans ce spectacle par ailleurs ponctué de morceaux magnifiques.
Bonjour 👋 pour moi c'est la Déesse des sources de la Seine SEQUANA gallo-romaine ayant un pouvoir de guérison. (la cavalière sur le cheval argenté travaille avec l'équipe de production elle effectue les tests du cheval sur l'océan atlantique, le costume argenté brillant créatif réalisé par un designer en parfaite harmonie avec le style du cheval métallique d'une conception et d'une production par une petite entreprise française une prouesse technique bionique représentant des caractéristiques du système vivant,. J'ai aussi aimé la transition avec la cavalière militaire sur le beau cheval blanc. Le mélange des deux époques remis au goût du jour pour une seule histoire vraie.
Haaa les goûts et les couleurs 👋.....
@@caherineponsard1390 L'effet produit est celui d'un chevalier en armure, sans visage, du reste, pas celui d'une déesse antique. Je connais une représentation de Sequana, nue, sur un cheval, à Dijon. A Paris, il y avait un côté plus viril et fantomatique.
Amazing you've got this audio. Sounds incredible.
Sorry to rain on the "parade", but this is the Solidarité track, not Parade.
Parade is used during the medal ceremonies and also as the pyro with the tricolour goes off in the early stages of the Opening Ceremony.
Part of it here: ua-cam.com/video/QzzzpOomSXw/v-deo.html
"Higher", not "Solidarité" (which was the name of the act during which it was played)
Yes, I’m getting a few responses as such. I will look into it and change it, thank you for the gentle correction!
And solid Dad joke you threw in there, I’m a father too and I approve!
« Rain on the parade » 😂
Btw, we NEVER had this kind of rainy weather during summer in Paris. Like, Never. 😅
Bravo to all the artists and the crews of the ceremony.
Sorry but "Parade" is really present but at the end, at 12:00
Brutal musica
Merci Victor!!!
8:54 my favourite part starts 🤩
The end feel like an inazuma eleven tournament song.
je découvre ce mec et bon apparement il vient de loin ....
I need this on iTunes
Victor Le Masne (musical director and creator) said that all the musical creations and music used during the ceremonies would be released 🤞
He didn’t plan for people to enjoy so much his musics. In France he has a huge pressure to release all the musics of the ceremonies. 😊
@@CitronCassis oh man I hope so that would be awesome
Quelle musique !
gracias compadre
I meant the music before supernature, and also the music playing when the person was carrying the flag

Music when the person was carrying the flag on a real horse :
Search the video on UA-cam
« Solidarité Victor Le Masne » published by the user @ dridri (also @ etpandanslacomete but low quality)
At the end of the track, there is the music.
Also the composer Victor Le Masne said he wanted to release all the musics. (Hope to get Gojira and the live of Celine as well)
❤
Bro this is amazing can you also do the parade part just after the supernature song by cerrone when the laser show from the eiffel tower
Thanks for sharing. Do you know where to find the original video you mentioned ? I'd like to watch the ceremony with no commentators.
@@eurovisionandfriends I downloaded (via torrent) the Australia Stan Sports broadcast that is 4K and 5.1 sound. If you watch it on a stereo system w/ 5.1 you can mute the commentator and announcer tracks.
As you are a Eurovision UA-cam channel, this soundtrack is like lots of Eurovision soundtracks we have had in recently. This song reminds me of all of the winner walk on tunes! I’ve always been comparing winner walk on tunes with Olympic medal ceremony tunes as a Eurovision and Olympic fan!
@@benthewheel30 one journalist here in France has made a comparison between esc and Olympics and it's true that both event share common stuff. Glad for ESC fans it happens every year 😃
Around 7.22 reminds me rainbow road mario kart
Mario kart course arc en ciel
5:10
Do you know the name of the first guitar song during the light show?
I am not sure which part you are referring to but this link provides a list of all the songs played. I don't know if it's all inclusive but I think this is a good start. Good luck and I hope you find it!

'solennité' Victor le Masne
Is it possible to do full ceremony without commentary???
J'ai fait un montage vidéo avec sa musique et celle des jeux de 1976 de Vic Vogel et André Mathieu, qui fut aussi l'une des meilleures, Jazz et Classique, si vous voulez le lien , écrivez moi
The beginning sounds definitely too dark. No wonder some viewers interpreted it as the horse rider of the apocalypse bringing death and destruction when in fact it was meant to symbolize solidarity. A really inappropriate start...
I wholeheartedly disagree, the tension and dynamics give this a piece of art the feel of a journey, especially the career of an athlete. The pain, the struggle, even failures, with triumphs (like 3:52 and 4:44) folowed by a crescendo of the track "Higher" is such a rush... followed by the eventual decline / retirement and finally, the reognition of legacy.... I think this piece is brilliant and indicative of the Olympic spirit within the athletes, but also within us all.
Your mind is twisted.
@@mrbravo365Totally agree with you 🔥 thats was my feeling too when i listen too!
