I fell in love with this soundtrack. I never get tired of it.
One of the greatest film scores ever written, one of the best films ever made. It shaped my young life, and its profound effect on me lives on. I am grateful to all those who took such care in its making.
Grande maestro Nino Rota.
I can't listen to this music or watch the movie without tearing up. In fact, whenever I see Juliet, I tear up. When she appears on the dance floor in her red dress, I'm practically sobbing everytime for the sheer beauty of this girl that is out of this world. The boy is also very beautiful. These two youths were perfectly cast.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. She is heartbreakingly beautiful
First seen this movie on the big screen in 1968..i was 11..i instanly fell in love with him , and thought she was the most beautiful girl i ever seen..now i own on DVD and vhs..its timeless . And im 66 now, and still love it. Its a sheer masterpiece
OMG!!¡ BEAUTIFUL FILM!!!!! the music.... Franco Zeferelli.... aaaahhh!!!!! I'm going through something very very bad right now.. (any Christians plz pray for this woman!!!) This movie..... I fell deeply in love with it when I was a teen. I'm 40 now and I'm sick and going through BAAAAAD pain and hell... it's helping me through my personal pain and physical hell. Give this INCREDIBLE romantic film a look!!! The score, Olivia Hussy, Leonard whiting. Ever more beautiful people, direction!
I saw this movie when i was a kid.
How can i forget this music?
This is my favourite love story from William Shakespeare.
Eternal and symbol of what love means in our human existence. Thank you, Shakespeare……
何度も映画化されているロミオとジュリエットだけれども、ニーノロータの音楽があるからこそ、このverが特にお気に入り。
そして作品中に何度も奏でられるメインテーマであるけれど、その中でも主旋律と副旋律が見事に絡み合って、何とも言えない美しさを表しているロミオの死の場面のメロディーが大好きです。
love it, love it, love it... Soundtrack, movie, actors, play from his master Sir William Shakespeare
The love theme is, of course, gorgeous and timeless, but I also think Romeo’s theme is absolutely stunning and vastly underrated.
Yes. It is crushingly beautiful.
Found this from the Film Magazine:
Zeffirelli’s 1968 ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is considered ‘realistic’ or ‘accurate’, not only because of how it is in accordance with Shakespeare’s text, and how it is also set in Verona during the Renaissance, but also because of how the costumes designed by Danilo Donati - which earned the film an Academy Award of CBest Costume Design along with Best Cinematography - were extremely accurate when compared to the original play and were true to the time the story is set in. Although the dialogue was cut or trimmed in parts, this version stayed as loyal to the original stage play as possible.
The cast members were almost the same age as the young lovers in the play: Olivia Hussey was 15 at the time and Leonard Whiting was 17. Zeffirelli purposefully chose among a new, talented and still unknown generation of actors. Choosing fresh-faced actors of around the same age as the characters in the tragedy itself gave much realism to the story on screen, furthering the appeal of the picture.
The entire film was shot in Italy between Rome, Tuscany and the North of the country. This, along with the costumes, gave the impression of real Renaissance Italy in Verona, during the time when Romeo and Juliet are written to have lived, as well as when their tragic love story unfolded.
The music is very telling as well; Zeffirelli uses compositions that could be heard during the 15th and the 16th centuries, and this is no more prominent that in the ball scene where there is also the Moresca dance, which is amongst the most popular dance types in 15th century Italy, Spain and France. Zeffirelli, who was very careful and had a keen eye for detail, masterly and beautifully used this music during the dance. The main theme of the film is an original score composed by the great Nino Rota, who was a famous composer during the 60s in Italy and who was the author of many important and famous film scores of the time.
I believe only one composition, not plural, was from the period and that was the Moresca. However, I also suspect the Moresca is an original composition based on a tune from the period (Salterello I think). They are not identical! While it is common for films to shoot with another already known piece during film and replace it with original score later on (known as the 'temp track') so it appears to make logical sense, Zefferelli's and Rota's partnership on Romeo & Juliet goes back to a theatre version in 1961. It is entirely possible the 'temp track' included original music from that play. With Fellini, he often reshot scenes to film around Rota's replacement music so that is a possibility as well: that Rota adapted the renaissance dance music to an original composition and Zefferelli reshot the scene.
Thank you, Patrick, for taking the time to educate us further. So appreciated.
Not one of the other film versions can touch this one. Zeffirelli was a master at what he did and raised the bar beyond reach!
@@annalucinda8273 я люблю этот фильм он бесподобен это моя юность.
Melodía , letra e interpretación perdurará por los siglos para las personas que aprecien los mágicos y combinados sonidos llamados música celestial…..
I was working as an usher in a movie theater when this film came out. I saw it every day for the entire run. I even recorded the entire movie on a reel to reel direct from the projectors. I f*cking love this movie!
My heart breaks every time I listen to this music.
Especially when I hear "What is a Youth?"
Music from Heaven. Thank you, Nino Rota.
So beautiful I wanna cry
I saw this movie in our small town theater in the fall of 1969, when in 9th grade. A beautiful work of art, the best cinematic portrayal of Shakespeare's immortal play. I remember being enthralled watching. Few movies have that effect on me. The soundtrack has a lot to do with it, as well as the youth and beauty of the stars. IMHO, one of the best movies ever made.
I think you're a year off; the film came out in 1968.
Happy Birthday Dear Olivia (17.04. 22) 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Olivia Hussey, born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. English actress, most perfect Juliet ever.
Thank so much for full soundtrack!
The recurring love theme in all its variations is really rather beautiful..........
So was the movie. I showed it every year to six classes of high school students. It went over well. Romance for the girls and sword fights for the boys.
It is a variation of Ave Maris Stella and a Gregorian Kyrie. Rota composed quite a bit of liturgical music.
It is no doubt that this is the most beautiful film score ever written .Nino Rota loves this story and film.Therefore God loves him and gave ability to compose this unforgettable music.
Rubbish.
Che stupendo il film e la colonna sonora. Sono fiera che un italiano l' ha composta
Writing from Calif, the 'R' movie rating in USA was strict and I had to wait til 1974 to see this, but ALL of us in high school knew of this unsurpassable phenomenal production which with Franco Zeffirelli blessed our world, such a magnificent gift he gave us that NO other interpretation can hold a flame to it. ALL of us girls wanted to be untouchably gorgeous Olivia Hussey and wanted to find and marry our Romeo who looked like and loved like devastatingly splendorous Leonard Whiting (don't care what Leonard looks like now, still 'in love' with him - wink). My high school chum found and bought the entire soundtrack to the ENTIRE movie, it was 4 or 5 albums in a box. Oh how I miss that wonderful decent Renaissance Faire at Malibu Ranch decades ago where most people dressed in English and Italian costumes and spoke correctly for that time period. And when I went back to Italy in 1997, my sister and I went to Verona and found 'Juliet's Tomba' wherein I laid and we read the many letters, sister translated most, left inside the dark tomb, and as I draped myself over Juliet Capulet's parents' balcony, men tossed roses up in the air to me.......it was Heaven. I encourage anyone who has not been to Verona to get thee high hence to Juliet's house, the colosseum and then head over to Manuta.
RODDERS - THANK YOU SO DEEPLY FOR UPLOADING THIS. TOASTING YOU.
Moments like these make life worth living.
I was blessed to find it and purchase it. A mostly mint condition LP❤️ Then, even more blessed to find the complete 4LP collectors with color memory book inside
I still have the original vinyl LP from '69
No other music could/would work for "This Film!"
I remember reading where Sir Laurence Olivier wanted to speak the Prelogue in Romeo and Juliet. No one else had or has since a voice as his, not even dear Richard Burton. He was absolutely magnificent, and only a short piece.
The only other two movies I treasure this deeply are THE LION IN WINTER and BECKET.
I found the soundtrack to THE LION IN WINTER at an old hippie's record store he was closing in Marin County - could NOT grab it fast enough, but would LOVE Becket. My sister and I memorized most of Becket. There are some movies that are so dear to one's heart that you memorize them. Like LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and MR. ROBERTS.
Rodders, I can't thank you enough for this.
Who DID read the prologue in the film? By the way...fantastic taste. Becket and The Lion in Winter.... both of Peter O' Toole's performances as Henry II . He was my favorite actor....annnd his co star in Becket, Richard Burton, was my other. (Denied Oscar's...well Peter received an Honorary one..)John Barry's score to TLIW is here on YT. Laurence Rosenthal's score to Becket....harder to find.
@@eclecticj8598 In the movie Romeo and Juliet, Sir Laurence Olivier read the prologue. And yes, Peter O'Toole was outstanding!
Sad ending with great music.beautiful love song.
Splendide, si émouvant !
I love the song "What Is a Youth?" at the party scene.
Its transformation into "A Time for Us" with completely different lyrics is one of my favorite pieces in the Easy Listening genre. I think that both Andy Williams cover and Josh Groban's cover are the most beautiful I've ever heard.
Wasn't even nominated for an Academy Award for original score. Probably the worst overlook in history given the Box Office success of the film (8th highest grossing film in the US) and the fact that the love theme (in the Henry mancini version) was the 15th highest selling song on the Billboard Charts in 1969 (a 'modest' international hit according to Wikipedia). (In contrast, another famous film song My Heart Will Go On was #13 on the Billboard charts in 1998.)
Film capolavoro colonna sonora capolavoro. Perfetta unione Zeffirelli Rota.
Some movies defy remakes: at the time of its release II liked Baz Luhrmann's reboot - it was quick and clever...though I never really bought the Danes/DiCaprio dynamic... but I always found myself saying, 'but its not the Zeffirelli...' I've nothing against it but I don't think it has much endurance; at best it exists as a fun riff to plunge through after you've seen the Zeffirelli which is - as it should be, utterly sincere. 'R & J' does not require irony, indeed, irony taints it. That is to be seen in the manic passion of Whiting and Hussey on screen. As an elder you can laugh at the fervent hysteria of the two young lovers, but only through the veil of one's wisdom and recollection. As for young folk who require the contemporary music video treatment of material in order to commit to anything I would argue there is nothing 'dated' about the Zeffirelli
MIJN MOOISTE FILM OOIT..!
55:18 this was the moment in the movie until that I could last without crying.
Zeffirelli - rota ,che coppia qui , filmone
Великий Шекспир, Великий Нино Рота ❤👍💯💞💑
Merci! One of the most-beautiful films ever made.
Столько было вырезано потрясающих сцен,интересно можно их вернуть,не справедливо где-то пылятся на полках !
I taught this play in gr. 10 for 32 yrs. and always showed the Zeferelli movie because I thought it illustrated the themes of star crossed lovers and what happens when you do things in haste as the friar points out as he gives Romeo the potion that make Julet seem dead in the crypt. Hhope to to prevent Juliet's death but it's too late and Juliet wakes up as Juliet wakes up. So sad and poignant.
Thank you for sharing! Beautiful music. I saw this movie as a child and the story was so moving.
Спасибо за то, что выложили этот саундтрек. А то я слушала только отрывки. А так слушаешь, и перед глазами они _ милые дети _ Ромео и Джульета
И зачем было из любви устраивать трагедию этому Шекспиру?...
@@valentinasvetlaoka9153 Здесь вопрос даже не к Шекспиру, а к Франко. Вот зачем ему нужно было разыгрывать такие страсти, чтобы потом так неоправданно жестоко убить обоих. Причем не только на экране, но и в жизни...
Estou lendo os comentários e não vejo ninguém mencionar o nome do gênio por trás da obra.
Uma lenda da música do cinema.
Autor das trilhas dos filmes de Fellini e da premiada trilha de The Godfather de Copolla.
Salve NINO ROTA 🎼❤️🌹
@@luizfernandes5500 Не обижайтесь- на то , что, не упоминают Нино Рота!! Все знают, кто написал эту сказочную музыку! Когда ее слышишь, хочется жить и любить! Потому ,что любовь - это то , ради чего мы приходим в этот мир! Еще раз - благодарность за выложенный саундтрек!!
such romantic/nostalgic music...one of my favorites by far! ❤
Uno de los grandes nombres de de la Música cinematográfica. Bastaría esta brillante partitura para tener un nombre en el firmamento de los genios musicales del Séptimo Arte. este no es el soundtrack de la película de Zefirelli, pese a a que los artistas son los mismos, pero es más nítida y de igual nivel.
Nino Rota también compuso mucha música clásica: sinfonías, música para teatro, música sacra, música de cámara, para piano y conciertos para piano, cuerdas, arpa y otros instrumentos, también fue director de orquesta y pianista.
Hombre de gran cultura y carácter humilde y generoso, casi siempre evitaba eventos públicos como las presentaciones de las películas para las que había escrito música, prefiriendo enseñar música a los jóvenes de los conservatorios menos importantes del sur de Italia a la vida mundana. Poco querido por los críticos musicales que lo acusaron de componer música clásica sencilla y demasiado distante de la música contemporánea, casi desconocida para el público italiano, estoy convencido de que algún día será reconocido por el papel fundamental que jugó en nuestra cultura musical del siglo XX. siglo.
La b.s.o. De Casanova es igual de increíble aunque romeo y Julieta es especial ..que gran musico
I do love this soundtrack! Thank you for uploading, I always enjoy your channel!
@C C Thank you.
@@RoddersClassical I thank you also with all my heart, also for all your Ralph Vaughan Williams and Elgar. Ta and God bless you.
❤️❤️❤️
If you want other music by the composer, look into (on TH-cam) Rota's Symphony 1, Symphony 2, Sinfonia Sopra Una Canzone d'Amore, Il Gattopardo symphony (not dances; some of the dances are nice also but most uploads focus on the overrated Verdi waltz), Piano Concerto in E minor, Sonata for Violin and Piano/Clarinet and Piano, Sonata for Viola & Piano (1945), Sonata for Flute & Harp, Quintetto, Cinque Pezzi Facili... A few other film scores: Death on the Nile, Hurricane (1979) and The Taming of the Shrew.
The icing on the cake came on September 7th. For me this has great meaning.
대단한 감동입니다. 눈물이........
thanks
Is there any way you could upload each individual song?
Was the epilogue played in the original theatrical release as exit music, or was it made for the album?
Estoy enamorado de ambos
Romeo and Paris fight From: 25:22-26:26

Who the composer of this music?
Nino Rota, Italian composer, and author of most of the soundtracks of Federico Fellini's movies
