#Rocky balboa music piano movie#
You've seen Creed, right? It's a good movie for lots of reasons, but it nails one thing no other big movie this year has: its score.
You can find almost all of Creed within the twenty-odd tracks that make up its score just about every aspect of the movie's soundtrack is a direct reflection of the ideas and themes the movie itself is exploring, and it reflects them in a remarkably concrete way.Ĭreed is a movie burdened with the weight of what's come before it. Those movies have their own language and expectations-usually some sort of underdog narrative, a training montage, and Bill Conti's "Gonna Fly Now." The genius of Creed, the movie, is that it neither rebels against or indulges in this, offering up a story that's familiar yet full of new life, sometimes inverting the formula, other times playing it straight. All of the great songs are here (Living in America, Eye of the Tiger, Burning Heart, Hearts on Fire, the Rocky Theme, etc.) I love it and it just makes me love the old movies even more. The genius of Creed, the soundtrack, is in the ways it amplifies all this-like Michael B. Its entitled " Alone in the Ring". Jordan's Adonis Johnson, it is brash and confident, keeping the Rocky legacy close at its side, but determined to make it under its own name. With the new Rocky Balboa movie out in theaters, I thought some of you might be interested in playing this short but gorgeous piano piece from the Rocky movies composed by Bill Conti.
Its opening number, "Juvy," ends with a piano, quietly whispering the two five-note phrases that will become its hero's theme proclaimed loudly with the same loud, brassy horns that first appear early in the movie as Adonis shadowboxes alongside footage of his father, Apollo Creed, fighting Rocky Balboa. It's a very literal encapsulation of the film's exploration of legacy, a theme Ludwig Goransson's score effectively echoes.
