Mikedyer 0 #1 March 7, 2004 Hi all. can anybody identify the classical piece of music used in Skydive for the big formation. I would greatly appreciate it. I've got the 16mm film but there are no credits of this piece of music. Mike Dyer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravoniner 0 #2 March 7, 2004 Mike: I think it's part of Les Preludes by Franz Liszt. I'm taking a flier on this one, so let me know if that's right. Bravoniner P.S. They used this one in a lot of the old Flash Gordon serials, too. Maybe Carl was trying to build a bridge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikedyer 0 #3 March 7, 2004 Thanks Bravonier, I'll find that piece and check it out. Someone else suggested a piece by Mascagni called "Cavalleria Rusticana" ( The Rustic Cavalry). I'll let you know what I confirm tomorrow. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikedyer 0 #4 March 8, 2004 Yup! Managed to find a guy with a vast collection of musical items (amongst old pionos, pianolas, turntables ,78's and more, Music boxes that are masterpieces of swiss watchmaking expertise) and with your clue we got it. Amazing the difference in interpretations though. The next thing is to find out which performance it was. Hopefully the people in Germany will help with that when they're back from holidays. Thanks again. Mike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikedyer 0 #6 March 9, 2004 Thanks Bill. This is a long shot, but ... Any chance you might know which performance it was? I've found several different recordings, but none as good (in my opinion) as the one used in Skydive. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
