Title: Battlestar galactica and a specific piece of music
Post by: Ashrak on December 07, 2007, 02:06:21 am

Hey, this has been bugging me for a while,

in the miniseries when apollo does his show flight over one of the hangar decks in a mark 2 there plays a symphonic piece of music in the backround (wow Yoda FTW)


does anyone have this piece of music??

Surprisingly enough, it's actually a riff on the theme of the original series. 'Colonial Anthem' if i'm not mistaken. It's the first track on the Season 2 soundtrack .

Nice choice. :yes:

Even though I find 'Pegasus', 'Prelude to War' and 'Worthy of Survival' to be far superior on that soundtrack. :nervous:

Are you sure? Wasnt that actually written for the Season 2 episode Final Cut? I think they actually did use the BSG original theme for the mini series clip.

Why? Im pretty sure the Season 2 track is not the same as the one they used in the mini series.

The Season 2 CD Soundtrack with the one called 'Colonial Anthem' is not from the Mini Series.  But both are derived from the original John Williams Battlestar Galactica theme music.
