== Lord of Kobol lyrics ==

OK, I just switched the language note on the "Lords of Kobol" lyrics from "Sengalese" to "Sinhala", or Sinhalese. The original source claims it to be Sengalese, but I'd say this falls in the category of obvious gaffes, since "Sengalese" doesn't exist. I figured the actual language to be Sinhala, and sent Bear McCreary an email asking for a clarification. He replied:

"Hey, you're probably right! Thanks for spotting that."

The evidence is a bit circumstantial, but I made the change anyway. Anyone from Sri Lanka or otherwise familiar with Sinhala would be a great help in making sure. [[User:Mathador|Mathador]] 20:35, 10 March 2007 (CST)

==Lyrics and Translations==

Composer Bear McCreary has [[Sources:Official Communique with Bear McCreary|given his permission]] to ''Battlestar Wiki'' to post the lyrics and translations for the Battlestar Galactica soundtracks. From the booklet accompanying the CD, the lyrics and translations for the musical tracks in the Season 1 CD are:

===Season 2 Main Title Music===

During the first season, the UK airings of Battlestar Galactica used a different title music than the USA airings. [[Ron Moore]] and the production team always favored the UK music, but Scifi Channel executives thought it wouldn't be popular and pressured the BSG production team to use a reworked version of the Season 1 musical track "Two Funerals" as the USA title music in Season 1. However, by Season 2 Moore was able to make his preferred "UK version" of the title music the track that aired in the USA broadcast. Many fans are divided over which they prefer.

According to Bear McCreary's official website, the lyrics to the Season 2 Title Music are actually the [[Wikipedia:Gayatri|Gayatri Mantra]] (the most revered prayer mantra in Hinduism). From McCreary's official website:

Official sources erroneously claim the lyrics to be in "Sengalese", a language which doesn't exist.

===Roslin and Adama===

According to Bear McCreary's website, there is a version of "Roslin and Adama" which is performed with lyrics, which was not included in the series or on the CD, but which was performed live at the Season 2 soundtrack CD premiere party.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SEASON TWO SOUNDTRACK TO BE RELEASED BY LA-LA LAND RECORDS ON JUNE 20

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA TOUTED AS ONE OF THE TOP 10 SHOWS CURRENTLY ON TV BY TIME MAGAZINE AND TV GUIDE

(June 1, 2006- New York, NY) - Considered one of the top 10 shows currently on TV by ''Time Magazine'', ''Entertainment Weekly'', and ''TV Guide'', ''Battlestar Galactica'' is the #1 show on the Sci Fi Channel. On June 20, La-La Land Records will release the ''Battlestar Galactica: Season Two'' soundtrack, featuring more than 78 minutes of the best musical moments from the 2nd season of the Sci-Fi Channel's critically acclaimed, top-rated television series starring [[Edward James Olmos]], [[Mary McDonnell]], [[James Callis]], [[Tricia Helfer]] and [[Katee Sackhoff]].

Composer Bear McCreary builds on his impressive Season One accomplishments and once again delivers a sensational, emotionally rich score that ingeniously melds orchestra, vocals, percussion and synthesizer. The Season Two CD contains few tracks which are longer in length. Says McCreary, "The first one was a soundtrack. The second one is an album."

The Battlestar Galactica: Season Two soundtrack features performances by Supernova String Quartet (on "A Promise to Return" from [[The Farm]]), vocals by Raya Yarbrough (on "[[Lords of Kobol]]" from [[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]), and vocals by Bt4 (on "The [[Gina|Cylon Prisoner]]" from Pegasus). Former Oingo-Boingo members Steve Bartek, John Avila and Johnny "Vatos" Hernandez play on the track from "[[Black Market]]". And the main title theme from ''Battlestar Galactica'', composed by [[Richard Gibbs]], is also on the soundtrack.

Fans of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|original series]] will be excited to see that the theme from the original ''Battlestar Galactica'' series, composed by [[Stu Phillips]], has been adapted and arranged by McCreary. The homage to the television show that inspired this new incarnation leads off the soundtrack.

Composer Bear McCreary is a classically trained composer with a degree in Composition and Recording Arts from the prestigious USC Thornton School of Music. He has composed score for over thirty independent films, including director Jon Chu's musical short ''When the Kids Are Away'' and the Discovery Channel miniseries ''The 5 Coolest Things''. McCreary was among a handful of select protégés of late film music legend Elmer Bernstein (''THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN'').

The [[Season 3 (2006-07)|third season]] of ''Battlestar Galactica'' will begin airing in October on the Sci Fi Channel. The ''Battlestar Galactica: Season Two'' soundtrack will be available in stores or from [http://www.lalalandrecords.com www.lalalandrecords.com] on June 20, 2006. The soundtrack from the [[Soundtrack (Miniseries)|Battlestar Galactica miniseries]] and the [[Soundtrack (Season 1)|Season One soundtrack]] are both available from La-La Land Records.
