Music
Trevor Rabin was the music director in Remember the Titans. He wrote 12 pieces for Remember the Titans but only one ended up on its soundtrack. This piece was "Titans Spirit".The film also used many 1960s and early 1970s popular songs like Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye", Marvin Gaye's & Tammi Tarrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", Ike & Tina Turner's "I Want To Take You Higher", and James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" on its soundtrack. Eric Burdon and War's song "Spill The Wine" was also used briefly. Trevor Rabin composed the instrumental score, of which "Titan's Spirit" was the only cue added to the soundtrack; a 7 minute exploration of the movie's energetic themes. It is used presently on many sports telecasts, particularly those on NBC, which has used the score during its closing credits montage for the last three Olympic Games (Salt Lake 2002, Athens 2004, and Torino 2006), along with the final closing credits montage for their 12-year run with the NBA in 2002.
