Been playing this song for years and never knew it was originally a waltz.
Every time I see the original Mummy, I wait for the scene with Imhotep (& his fantastic eyes) summoning his Ankh-es-en-amon. Poor Helen can't help herself. And there is always this song playing. Thank you for the upload. :)
This tune has became a jazz standard as well. But instead a 3/4 waltz, it is frequently played in 4/4.
Thank you thank you thanK you! Searched for years for this original music from this film, even ONLY watched the particular scene with this composition in it just to hear! I had given up so didn't know three years ago anyone had even put this up!!!!!
....that's great to hear -- very happy to know you are enjoying the music!
OH! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL RECORD! I LOVE IT!!!
The other-worldly, timeless character of the song so perfectly suited it to the waltz scene in The Mummy. I also first became acquainted with the song in that movie and spent decades trying to find out its name. Thank you.
😸 Outstanding performance by an excellent orchestra and vocalist ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have been trying to track this piece of music down for years!
Wow. This song has stayed with me since I was a kid and saw The Mummy on Shock Theater. I had no idea the record existed. THANKS for posting!
Me too. I spent most of my life just trying to learn its name.
What we hear in the film is only an orchestral version of the introduction to the song, never the vocals.
Beautiful 😍 I love the violins 🎻
Thanks for sharing this song
Super excellent
this is so lovely...
It's a pleasure to see you return to work after such a LONG time... (So I have now subscribed)! We sure need you because YT took down MusicProf78 yesterday for so-called "copyright issues" and removed all his 1000's of videos. (Your work is just as good and often more interesting because of the album-design pictures!)
Beautiful!! Thank you
this is so cool! Thanks for posting.
....thanks for tuning in!
Usually played in 4/4, this is 3, but fits the atmosphere of the scene.
There is a beautiful solo jazz guitar live performance of this by Joe Pass. It’s on YT.
....thanks, yes, that is nice!
Recorded NY on April 29, 1931
Isn't this the Regent Club Orchestra?
"The Mummy" was released in 1932
Anck-es-en-Amon...Anck-es-en-Amon...
....no, no, no, no, -- you need to pronounce it like Daffy Duck would!
This is NOT the version used in The Mummy 1932 Universal Pictures, and it is NOT the "Victor Young" Orchestra, either. James Dietrich was the music director for The Mummy. The version used in The Mummy was never released on any 78rpm record. You shouldn't advertise things that are not true.
....Pal, your display of ignorance is stunning. Where in my post did I say this was soundtrack music? This composition was "featured in The Mummy" and recorded as a 78rpm dance band record by the Victor Young orch -- he was the composer of the music and musical director of Brunswick Records. I used the movie poster only as decorative graphics. Sorry you couldn't figure that out.
@@anthonytrepniak3387 Victor Arden - Phil Ohman do a much better version of this song
@@Prozoot It says Regent Club Orchestra right on the label in the picture
@@HIGHVOLTAGEMONSTER ...."Regent Club" was just a marketing name that Brunswick used for issuing sides cut by Victor Young who was the house band. This was common practice in those days. It made their catalog appear to have more artists and variation than it really did. I have the Arden Ohman recording but didn't use it because it has a "Broadway" sound. The Victor Young, Brunswick is closer to the soundtrack -- It has a melancholy, eerie, haunted quality that was a deliberate interpretation by the composer, Victor Young. Keep in mind, the record existed before the movie was released -- it probably inspired that entire supernatural sequence in the film.
