Does anyone know the name of the song in the movie Willow that comes on as soon as the opening Credits start to roll? Its now on the Soundtrack from what I understand. Does anyone know the name of the song or the artists to this movie Willow? Please let me know ASAP! Thanks

OK. Let's see what we can do for you....
The best information available can be found HERE. Text related to the track you are looking for is copied below...

"The more romantic, sweeping theme accompanies the main title of the film, and it introduces Horner's first use of the Japanese flute called a sakauhachi. The sakauhachi is a difficult instrument to play --from what I have heard-- and the performances we all have to come to love in Willow are among the best there are. It has appeared in subsequent {James} Horner scores, but never in the spotlight. The main title theme in Willow is given an extra element of magic by the sakauhachi performances --a magic that made my arm hair tingle when I saw the film on screen. There are four main performances of this theme on the CD. The sequence when Willow is beginning his journey with Elora Danan has a stellar use of this theme."

If you want to confirm which track this is, go to the AMAZON.COM PAGE for the album, scroll down till you get to the Listen To Samples bit, and click on #3, called "Willow's Journey Begins". I'm certain this is the piece of music you are looking for, and it's the one the above text relates to.
