Freedom Friday: Crimson Tide Main Theme by Hans Zimmer

The film Crimson Tide came out in the mid '90s and the setting is on a US Navy Submarine where conflicts arise between two of its officers. Opening with a somber trumpet solo followed by strings and later a horn response. Percussion and heavy brass add some exciting march-like rhythms build intensity. The second part transitions into long tones where vocals are added. More themes are heard and tossed around various timbres. Surprising yet appropriately the vocals and trumpet finish the piece with the Navel hymn to include an Amen. The first video is the music with no visual and the second video includes the Navy hymn with lyrics. This piece was thankfully suggested by my son Tyler.

Please leave your suggestions in the comments and I will do my best to include them in future posts.
