[1] The first evening presentation, Le Carnaval de Lumière (lit., 'Light Carnival'), premiered on October 23, 1982.
It celebrated world festivals with fountains, film, music, and other effects.
The show used rear projection screens on barges floating on the World Showcase Lagoon.
A New World Fantasy was the 2nd version of a fireworks show at Epcot and was set to classical music played on synthesizer.
It opened in June 1983 and used floating barges that had rear projection screens on them.
[2] Most of the soundtrack can be found on Don Dorsey's album "Busted", but the "Great Parades and Pageants" segment was removed.
The complete soundtrack can be found on a promotional Don Dorsey album.
New music was created for the show's theme by Don Dorsey and Bruce Healey.
The "Great Parades and Pageants" section used in the previous installments was omitted and replaced with a celebration of all the individual countries of World Showcase (except Norway, which had just opened by the show's premiere).
This installment of IllumiNations began a radical new use for effects in fireworks shows.
To add to the Pichel lights, fountains, laser barges, and laser graphics projected behind the fountains, the directors made the lights representing the different interact with the music and the rest of the show.
Tonight we are pleased to present a visual journey, an international fantasy of music and light.
With the music as your passport, we'll discover sights and sounds from colorful ports of call.
And to celebrate our journey, the countries will be united by the festive elements of water, fire, and light.
For the New Year's Eve finale in 1992–1993, a version of "We've Just Begun To Dream" was played during the countdown, then a version of "Auld Lang Syne" followed by a short reprise of "We've Just Begun To Dream".
