Caliban's Dream
"Caliban's Dream" is a track written by Rick Smith〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://olympicopeningceremony.tumblr.com/tagged/music )〕 of electronic group Underworld for the ''Isles of Wonder'' opening ceremony of the 2012 summer Olympics in London, and the 14th and final track of the first disc of the official soundtrack.
==Writing and recording==
Smith told how the brief for the piece was given: "Frank (the opening ceremony's writer ) and Danny (its creative director ) put forward beautiful, transcendental poems by people like WH Auden, Thomas Nash, Philip Larkin. They set the tone for Caliban's Dream. Very early on Danny encouraged me not to think in terms of "Eye of the Tiger" for the final stages; we weren't looking for anything testosterone-fuelled. Those poetic ideas that we had talked about initially just seemed so beautiful; we wanted to draw them in to the story of the torch. Karl (Smith's partner in Underworld ) spent a long time working with those words to make them flow, helping avoid all the possible cliches we could fall prey to."
The track features performances by Alex Trimble (lead singer and guitarist of Two Door Cinema Club), percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie, the Dockhead Choir conducted by Mag Shepherd, Only Men Aloud male voice choir, soprano Elizabeth Roberts, and Esme Smith (co-writer with Rick Smith of the soprano and choral score). Glennie played a newly developed percussion instrument, the Aluphone, on the track.〔http://www.evelyn.co.uk/biography.html〕〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hWeJymb20-s〕
