中国新闻网12月6日报道由德国词作家迈克尔·昆茨,意大利音乐家莫洛德尔为北京奥运创作的歌曲《Forever Friends》有望成为该届奥运会主题歌,迈克尔·昆茨曾参与创作音乐剧《猫》、《歌剧魅影》,莫洛德尔曾为洛杉矶奥运会主题歌《Reach Out》和汉城奥运会主题歌《Hand in Hand》谱曲。北京奥组委文化活动部29日主办了该首歌曲MV主创人员媒体见面会并透露了上述信息。 11月29日,北京奥运会歌曲《Forever Friends》的MV在天坛结束前期拍摄工作后,该歌曲的音乐制作人孔祥东、MV导演杨东升以及两位主唱孙楠和李玟汇聚国家体育总局,参加媒体见面会。 尽管是MV主创见面会,但是媒体的焦点大多集中在音乐主创人身上,享誉全球的莫洛德尔成为全场的核心。他对有幸参与北京奥运会歌曲的创作感到很高兴,他坦言,在歌曲的创作过程中,曾聆听大量的中国民歌,特别是受《浏阳河》的影响比较大。他还表示,为了便于歌曲广为传唱,在乐谱的创作中大量使用简单的旋律,相信全世界的农民听三遍就会唱。
