The music from this scene always moves me. From the slow intro to the main theme.

Wheres the music? That was one heck of a movie though.

What do you mean, where’s the music?

How about the Strauss composition of 1896, Thus Sprach Zarathustra. Op 30 used as the iconic theme to 2001 Space Odyssey?

Yes that too.

And the music to the cavalry charge in LOTR.

I didn't hear it sorry,guess I didn't listen long enough.

Rohan Theme, an excellent example of romantic symphonic music in cinematic scoring.

For some of you young people who haven't seen some of these classics you may be pleasantly surprised if you watch one.

Very nice piece. You really are the eternal sentimentalist, aren't you. You and PJ would get along great.

I am guilty of being too sentimental at times.

Not a big fan of 40s musical. Cagney didn't even like Cohan. After being accused of being a communist, during the dark days of Hollywood the saw many careers ruined, by innuendo and unfounded accusation in front of the "Un-American Activities Committee" and cleared, he supposedly told his brother, "we're going to have to make the goddamndest patriotic picture that's ever been made. I think it's the Cohan story". He was amazingly versatile, but I preferred him as the tough guy, not the song and dance guy.

This haunting score by Robert Duncan caught my attention.

From *Butterfly on a Wheel*.

"Take My Hand" by Toto

I am guilty of being too sentimental at times.

Here is an unsentimental turn of direction. Bluegrass in cinema. I have often thought of bluegrass as jazz for the country music set. Here are a couple movie greats of this genre. One I used to do a passable job with from the movie Deliverance back in my picking days and another that came alone long after I got busy and laid it down from the movie Oh God, Where Art Thou.
