Hymn to Red October

Hymn to Red October

Hymn to Red October, also commonly called the Red Navy Hymn is a theme song composed for the high budget film "Hunt for Red October".It is a hymn in Russian style, by noted composer Basil Poledouris, incidentally representing the soviet submarine "Red October".It is sung by an extensive choir, and consists in three parts. The first is an introduction, with low voice tones and little instruments. The second is a shorter theme, in a more glorious tone and is quickly followed by the most popular theme, in which a march-like hymn can be heard.

It has been commonly mistaken that the composer for this work was Hans Zimmer, while he composed the music for yet another submarine movie, "Crimson Tide".

The song was also used as the soundtrack to the "Teaser" promo video for Michael Jackson's HIStory album in 1995.
