Vangelis - Missing (Opening Theme)
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 04. 2010
- This is the theme music from the 1982 film, "Missing", directed by Konstantinos Gavras (AKA Constantin Costa-Gavras.) The film is based on a scandal that took place in Chile in 1973. Specifically, it is based on the disappearance of journalist Charles Horman. (Just for the record, the country is never referred to by name in the film, but its capital city, Santiago, is mentioned.)
Horman had attempted to expose a conspiracy between the American and Chilean governments to overthrow Chilean president Salvador Allende. Unfortunately, he was later kidnapped by forces loyal to the conspirators, triggering a manhunt. It was later discovered that Horman had been executed when his body was discovered in a morgue.
Jack Lemmon stars as Horman's father, Ed, and Sissy Spacek as Horman's wife, Beth.
One of Costa-Gavras's most effective techniques in the film is the manner in which it is established to be based on a true story in the opening scene, although the ending scene states that the American government denies the existence of the events.
Much like Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11", the film caused controversy for its portrayal of American interference in other countries' affairs, and was at one point banned in Chile because of its depiction of the Pinochet regime. (Speaking of Michael Moore, the overthrow of Allende and his replacement with Pinochet was mentioned in the "What a Wonderful World" montage in "Bowling for Columbine.") Nevertheless, Costa-Gavras was awarded the Palme d'Or prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his work. The film also won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and was nominated for Best Picture. In addition, Lemmon and Spacek were nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively, for their performances.
One of Vangelis's most beautiful soundtracks, "Missing" is at times haunting and often rather melancholy, helping to convey the loss felt by the protagonists, as well as the unstable political situation. Like "The Bounty", the soundtrack has never been released on CD despite much demand, although the opening theme was included on Vangelis's 1989 soundtrack compilation, "Themes."
The video itself consists of some photos taken by (and, in one case, of) the Hubble Space Telescope, combined with some footage from an educational film created by the Maryland Deptartment of Education and from a NASA documentary. Although it's kind of belated, this video could also be considered a comemmoration of the 20th anniversary of the HST's launch.
Please note that there's a slight editing error in one of the photos - the name of the website that provided the photo is clearly visible! I bet that might possibly kill the ambience for some of you, but I hope you'll forgive me for that.
Oh, and one other thing - and this is important - I watched part of the film shortly after I originally uploaded the video, and I discovered that the piece in the video is actually the film's ENDING theme, not the opening theme as stated in the title. Unfortunately, it's too late to change the title, seeing that the video had already been seen by thousands of viewers when I first uncovered this fact. I know I might get possibly flagged for this, but I hope you'll forgive me for this as well. - Hudba
Dear Vangelis, this song has given me much peace over the years, so you deserve yours eternally. Thank you.
What a sweet soul you have to say this…
@@andreealevel28 you too
Beautiful
Quien me lo grabó, ese es un misterio qué me lo llevaré a la tumba 😢 nunca quise hacerte daño, y tú sí 😢 me enteraste viva 😢
Electronic music they say has no soul. But the composer does. Beautiful and emotional. Thank you vangelis. Thank you for making my life a little better. I weep for your passing but celebrate your memory. Rest in peace i will never forget you.
This song is so nostalgic for me. My Dad would sit and listen to it by himself unaware I was watching him and listening to the music. I always remember thinking that he looked deep in thought, staring into space contemplating something. Now I'm older and I'm a Dad, I know what he was feeling.
Mikey Underhill well said.
Had the exact same situation when I was younger and now I'm 21 and still love this music
Es la música q me llega al corazón María Cristina de padua.
Very moving music for a very moving film. Thank you for sharing such beautiful memories, Mikel Underhill.
What a great comment. And so we’ll said. Thanks
RIP Vangelis, tu musica quedara por siempre en mi corazon..
Un grande !

Ο ΒΑΓΓΕΛΗΣ ήταν ένας συμπαντικός και μοναδικός μουσικός δημιουργός και είμαστε τυχεροί που βρεθήκαμε στην εποχή του.
Τεράστια μορφή! Τεράστια η προσφορά του !! Τεράστιο το μέγεθος του έργου αυτού του Δημιουργού !!!
Ο ΔΗΜΙΟΥΡΓΟΣ προσπάθησε να ανακαλύψουμε την αρμονία του σύμπαντος.
Δεν θα ξεχαστεί ποτέ όσο ακούμε τη μουσική του.
Thank you Vangelis for putting the beauty into music, such a genius.
Rest in Peace Evangelos (Vangalis), thank you for the so, SO MANY beautiful songs you preduced. I listened the songs in the 1980 ties already, and listen them until I die!!
🙏❤️
Still gives me shivers after so many years. Today, sounds so fresh and so melodic
bagasas your not wrong !.......When I first heard this music SO long ago I couldn't get over how haunting it is a specially at the end BBRRRrrrr !
bagasas confirm shiver today, heard this tune since a long long time, Armin
Incredible, Armin
Durante el proceso de enfermedad y muerte de un ser querido tuve esta música metida en mi cabeza, hoy te decimos a ti adiós y gracias por las melodías que nos has dado
Lo siento mucho. Un saludo.
Animos
One of genius musician goes to heaven! My favorites! RIP Vangelis！ Your music is fantastic in itself!
Minha favorita 👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷
This is so beautiful, end up in tears of joy everytime.
I Cri Evrytiem
Une sublime BO de la part d'un compositeur de génie. RIP Mr Vangelis, je ne vous oublierais jamais. 😣
This is a wonderful lullaby to all my dearest friends who died of AIDS, as it was one of them who introduced me to Vangelis, and we both listened in awestruck amazement.
@@Katerirades Yes, these particular friends were homosexual, but perhaps it should be for all those who have died of AIDS. Thank you for reminding me to not forget the others.
Missing you, Master Vangelis! ♥️😽
Angelic Heavenly Music. Vangelis has achieved immortality by his music.
this song is in my videos from when i was born, i see my great granddad holding me
R.I.P granddad
thanks, now I'm crying
OMG!! 😭😭😭😭 Literally the same! This song was in the background on the video recording of when i was baptized.... same story here my 2 grandmas and my other grandpa are still alive but 1 of my grandfathers passed away when i was 6yo he too was holding me in his arms in the video 💔💔💔
Nice memories. I used to listen to this when I was 11. I just played it for my daughter trying to get her to sleep.
Iiiii
This gives me shivers, makes me happy and sad. Great music
RIP vangelis and thank you for the beautiful music you gave to the world ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️
53 mal gehört... nein gerade 54. Und doch bringt es keinen Trost. Ich höre die Melodie und gebe ihr Text. Für mich mein 2024 Lied um zu sagen das ich dich mein ganzes Leben vermisst habe und es für den Rest meines Lebens tun werde....
Loved this film. A perfect example of why I'm against state interventions by any country.
John Shea did a great job as the missing son.
....je suis bluffé devant un tel génie qui sans retenue a tant donné ce monsieur est notre père par l'excellence de par sa " dévotion" à parler pour l'humanité.
This proves something I once heard......Music has a language all its own.
also .......Jack Lemmon in one of his best performance ever.
'Missing' was a very good (and sad) movie, and I agree with you that Jack Lemmon gave one of his best performances in it. He broke away from his comedic character for a change, and it was truly an inspiring piece of work.
See Save the Tiger for another outstanding dramatic performance by Jack Lemon
days of wine and roses....another masterpiece of lemmon
yes sir
Descanse en paz este magistral compositor mago y artifice de la musica electronica por siempre Vangelis
This haunting tune will always stay in my memmory and a beautiful film of a fathers search for his missing son
Thank you, Vangelis for so much beautiful music. RIP
Every time I hear this song I can't help but tear up
That's because of two reasons.
One, this film is from a sad documentary drama about an unsolved mystery surrounding the disappearance of American journalists Charles Horman.
Two, the music combine with the vast wonders of both time & space is enough to move anyone to tears.
Me too😢
Me too
Same here...
simple and powerful, unforgetable...music speaks to our heart
Ce efect magic se ajustează această creație de muzica electronică,sintetizator cu un fond sonor celest parca..Sunete excepționale cu imagini astrale..te duc cu gândul la alte planete existente ,necunoscute noua...dar cu speranța că dacă nu ne facem de ras în univers ,am putea avea cunoștințe cu alte ființe din alte dimensiuni,că într.o Pace Universala,în care sa nu existe Ura,Războaie ,Asasinate și toate relele posibile..ci o Uniune între Ființe cu bun simt,educație ,poate?!? Nu pot pricepe dar aceste compoziții mă emoționează...le ador și caut sa le ascult ,ori de cite ori găsesc o clipă de ,,respiro,,Va mulțumesc!și dacă ați putut traduce ceeace am scris ..căci e u nu pot,nu cunosc nici o modalitate să mă fac înțeleasă cu dv.Toate cele bune!
Nobody on this planet could write a tune as good as Missing, that's I'm a league of its own
Unforgettable film. But it's exactly the theme of Vangelis at the beginning that made me want to watch it, and that music also made me decide that I already loved this film before I actually started watching it.
Still moved by this, and by the movie, all these years later.
Por alguna extraña razón, cuando ví esta pelicula, contando una realidad que no me es ajena, ya que soy argentino contemporaneo de esa triste época que vivió Latinoamérica, la película me pegó mucho. La sentí tan cercana, tan personal. Esta maravillosa pieza de este genio griego, me transmite tantos sentimientos. Es como si fuese el terminar de una larga y dolorosa agonía, que por fin la paz logra vencer a la tragedia. Es una de las más emocionantes películas que ví y melodía que escuché.
Oh, esta música tan sencilla y tan emotiva fue como un puño a la quijada. Yo lloré por Jack Lemmon y su hijo en la película al escuchar esto.
Que bien lo ha relatado.
Cómo se llama la película?
Te lo agradezco mucho!

Y sí.....es hermosa ésta música

Vangelis un genio de la musica . Majestuoso. Impomente. Apoteosico

It might seem strange, but this song was often played on a local radio station in Setubinha, a city in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, to announce a funeral whenever someone passed away.
Typically, the song would start playing, and after 20 seconds, they would announce the name of the deceased and the location of the funeral.
This practice was common from the early 2000s.
I'm not sure if it's still in use, but it was a significant part of my childhood. This song instilled a sense of fear in us as children when we heard it.
I rediscovered it a few years ago, and today I find myself listening to it again because I've lost a childhood friend. This song brings back those feelings.
Vangelis has marcado mi vida con tu bella música desde mi niñez. Siempre estarás en mi corazón y mente. Por siempre RIP
Vangelis should have been nominated TWICE in 1983. one for this score and one for blade runner
Feels so good listening to that music. Relaxing after a hard day of work
Before I knew what it was about, on first hearing this ripped my heartstrings, saddest piece of music I'd ever heard
Now, more than ever.
Thank you for everything my old friend.
Cada vez que escucho esta música, me lleva al primer sueño que recuerdo, era un ser mirando el planeta Tierra, desde el espacio...
宇宙の果てから響いてくる生命の鼓動のような
リズムに、動きはじめた宇宙のはじまりを想像した。
神秘的で深遠なメロディーには、途方もない空間に静かに拡がって行く生命の大河と、すべてを包み込んでくれるようでありながら、雄々しげに躍動する生命の力強さを。
30年以上前に、ラジオから流れてくる‘ミッシング’をはじめて聴いた時、なにをテーマにした曲なのかは知りませんでしたが、宇宙の銀河に散りばめられた煌めく星々たちや、生命の壮大な物語を想って、なぜか涙がでてきたのを覚えています。
In my opinion.how can anyone dislike the music of Vangelis the only music that resonates with my soul.
He was way beyond his time!
Rip Βαγγέλη.
Beautiful piece of music. I was at Cafe Del Mar in Ibiza last night and this was played as the sun went down. It fitted perfectly.
+Jonathan Horsfall wow!
Jonathan Horsfall if only we could have nationalist leaders like Pinochet in Europe leading again!
Jonathan Horsfall this and also Energy 52 - Cafè del Mar ( Michael Woods remix) fit perfectly with the sun going down ...
una de mis canciones preferidas, de todos los tipos de música que me gustan, que no son pocos.una canción para pensar y reflexionar sobre todo lo que nos rodea y ver lo maravilloso y grandioso que es el universo....la vida.
Y no es cantada, es música pura, por eso no es canción sinó 1 bello tema.
Seriously one of the most beautiful movie themes ever written
A masterpiece and very moving film.
El mejor tema de el. Descansa en paz genio. Sin palabras, gratitud solamente a un grande q supo musicalizar los sentimientos.
Beautiful piece of music.Powerful movie.
Excellent theme of Vangelis and perhaps one of the best in his musical repertoire; these excellent and unique 4 minutes and 01 seconds, make me feel in the waiting room of the enclosure in the glory of God, with waiting and uncertainty which will be his wise heavenly decision regarding the final verdict one.
Excelente tema de Vangelis y quizás una de la mejores en su repertorio musical; estos 4 minutos y 01 segundos, me hacen sentir en la sala de espera ante la Gloria de DIOS, con la incertidumbre de cual va ser la decisión de él, con su veredicto final respecto a uno.
Juán Carlos Martínez López true juan .....truely haunting if that's the right word for it .funny I do remember the movie but can't remember what it was a about it was SO long when I watch the movie .But I can't remember this playing on the film Only on the radio in the 80s and the sound some how pricked my like of the melody . Which I think is a credit in its self .
You don't have to live in fear/uncertainty...Acts 2:38 Acts 22:16 Mark 16:16 Hebrews 9:17 fyi
😢since i miss my great love i frequently listen this wonderful music every day thank you
Cada vez que salgo a correr... tengo este tema en mi playlist ... rezo un padre nuestro y 10 aves marías por aquella persona o situación que dedico mi carrera... simplemente es una experiencia mágica... MUCHAS GRACIAS VANGELIS.... probé con muchos temas... pero este tema fue el más apropiado par mí para rezar-
Muchas gracias Evangelos Odyssey Papathanassiou por poner tu corazón y tu alma en cada composición...siempre te recordaremos a quienes nos gusta tu música......
A very emotional and sentimental piece of music xx
this is just beautiful
I knew about this song long before watching the film. And I always loved and enjoyed it.
But man, at the end of the movie, when hearing the melody again in the scene in which Edmund Horman (incredible performing of Jack Lemmon) and Joyce were walking away in the airport, I bursted into tears.
Great song and great movie.
This music is pure beauty. Paradise on earth ❤🌷
Esta música é maravilhosa.
O paraíso na terra 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
O homem está destruindo o paraíso.
Onde iremos morar?
The amount of joy and happiness this song provides me is unlimited. I have cried a lot every time I listen to this wonderful song
what a beautiful tune it pulls my heartstrings everytime i hear it
So many years listening to this beautiful song, and I have just discovered that this song was related to those awful days in my country at the end of the year '73.
I saw this film many years ago, and Vangelis' hauntingly beautiful theme fits it perfectly. RIP Vangelis (and the poor Norman family)
I've been watching movies now for sixty+ years and have heard many great pieces of movie music, some add a great deal of depth to the viewing experience and others not so. I can unashamedly say that this theme can quit easily bring a tear or two to my eyes. Two others that have a similar effect on me are the themes from both 'Once Upon A Time In The West' and 'Jurassic Park. I'm sure there are many more but its these three that I find myself visiting more than most on CZcams.
How about: Ennio Morricone - Once upon a time in the west - Jill's theme ????
Una de las melodias mas bellas que uno puede escuchar, fantastico Vangelis.
Die schönste Melodie die ich je gehört habe... Herzöffnung pure Liebe 🙏✨💞💞💞✨✨😇✨Herzensdank
Unbelievably beautiful music by the very talented Vangelis. Listen to the version with added lyrics, sung by Nana Mouskouri, which is equally beautiful!
We have lost one of the greatest composer ever. Rip Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou 😢
¡¡¡¡Simplemente hermoso!!!!
FORGIVEN. What a wonderfully depressing and uplifting musical composition. Thank you.
All my feelings about vangelis !!!! I know it isn't enough to put my humble words to explain what is the real meaning to humanity.each note touch our soul and heart in a way that we couldn't feel before.r.i p vangelis
Je remercie mon père de m'avoir fait écouter ses chefs d'oeuvres, qui m'ont nourrit le coeur et l'âme pendant l'enfance 🙏🤍 Rest in Peace Vangelis 🤍
when ever i need to feel my mum around me, this my tune
Tudo vai passar, terra, céus, mas os minutos em que paramos para escutar está música, conseguimos muito pequenamente observar, como um telescópio míope, um vislumbre da eternidade. São muitos poucos artistas que possuem este dom. E Vangelis tinha.
This song was somehow 'missing' from my Vangelis collection... Glad I found it. Thanks for posting
I am crying. But in a happy and so sad way all at once... very unique indeed.
This response is outside of my scope.
Strange, but I am grateful. Thank you.
So far from estimated possible responses.
I'm without words....
This is so perfect.
Perfect.
Merci Thanks for posting une perle musicale!!!!!!
Polarizing ! This is one song from one movie I can remember where I was when I saw the movie and heard the music.... Still haunting ! Great performances by Vangelis and Sissy Spacek and Jack Lemon
The best of Vangelis!! 💯
Sublime...best score by Vangelis, plus superb film.
