Lara's theme (Tema de Lara) ( from the movie soundtrack "Doctor Zhivago")
Composer(s), autor(es)=  Música (music)= Maurice Jarre  (father of Jean Michel Jarre)
gravada originalmente (ou tb) por  (originally recorded (or also)  by) =  Maurice Jarre

. Born in Lyon, September 13, 1924) is a French composer of film scores, noted for his use of the Ondes Martenot. and for the scores of many films including a series of David Lean films, Lawrence Of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago (1965), Ryan's Daughter (1970) and A Passage to India (1984). These are often considered his best work and some of the most enduring movie music in the repertory. He has been nominated for nine Academy Awards, and has won three.    Now officially retired, Jarre's scored his last film in 2001, a TV movie about the Holocaust entitled Uprising.

Ondes Martenot (or ondes musicale)=   frequently used in soundtracks for horror and science fiction movies, and is still used from time to time. Its uses include Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Billion Dollar Brain (1967), Amélie (2001), and Bodysong (2003), by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. Greenwood is often credited to bringing the Ondes to a larger audience through Radiohead's Kid A (2000), Amnesiac (2001) and Hail to the Thief (2003) albums. Greenwood uses the Ondes often in his solo effort, the soundtrack to Bodysong, and has also written a piece for the instrument entitled "Smear". Ondes Martenot  is an early electronic musical instrument with a keyboard and slide invented in 1928 by Maurice Martenot, and originally very similar in sound to the Theremin. The sonic capabilities of the instrument were subsequently expanded by the addition of filter banks and switchable loudspeakers. The instrument is especially known for its eerie wavering notes produced by the thermionic valves that produce oscillating frequencies, responsible for the female voice effects in the original Star Trek theme.
The Ondes Martinot has been used by many composers, most notably Olivier Messiaen. He used it in many of his works, such as the Turangalîla Symphony and the Trois Petites Liturgies de la Presence Divine; his opera Saint François d'Assise calls for three. Other composers included Pierre Boulez, Edgar Varese, Darius Milhaud, Arthur Honegger and Maurice Jarre. On television Barry Gray frequently used it in his scores for Gerry Anderson's series. It was also utilized by Bryan Ferry on the album As Time Goes By.

L'amour c'est bleu  (Love is blue ) 1967
Composer(s), autor(es)=  Andrée Popp, Paroles=Pierre Cour,     English lyric =Bryan Blackburn.
Edition: Walton Choral            Publisher: Walton Music
gravada originalmente (ou tb) por  (originally recorded (or also)  by) = Paul Mauriat

Andrée Popp= Né en 1924 à Fontenay le Comte, André Popp suit une formation classique au piano. C'est dans sa ville natale qu'il rencontre l'auteur Jean Broussolle avec qui il entame une collaboration durable. Ils montent à Paris lorsqu'André a 20 ans. C'est la filière cabaret (avec André au piano et Jean comme interprète) qui les font connaître auprès des éditeurs (d'Hortensia à Raoul Breton) et les amèneront très vite à composer pour Bourvil ou Catherine Sauvage.


Pierre Cour= Auteur ayant écrit pour plusieurs générations d’artistes, Pierre Cour a signé bien des succès des années cinquante, soixante et soixante-dix. Parmi ses interprètes, figurent Dalida, Germaine Montero, Jean-Claude Annoux, Enrico Macias et bien d’autres.
L'amour c'est bleu       Perhaps   was all Paul Mauriat's doing.  After his version of "L'Amour Est Bleu", retitled "Love Is Blue" for its late-1967 release on this side of the pond,  spent five weeks at #1, the American record industry must have sensed that there was a market for French orchestral pop — although this really doesn't explain how Kapp Records' tiny "international" label got this song released the very day "Love Is Blue" first topped the charts.   More to the point, "Soul Coaxing", a title inflicted on us because we presumably couldn't pronounce "Ame Câline", is a better song, an insistent piano tune surrounded by strings and wordless voices and more strings, and unlike the sappy words forced upon "Love Is Blue", composer Michel Polnareff's original French lyric is heartbreakingly lovely, even in English translation.

Chariots of fire (Carruagens de fogo
Composer(s), autor(es)=  Música (music)= Vangelis
gravada originalmente (ou tb) por  (originally recorded (or also)  by) = Vangelis

During the Greek upheaval in 1968 Vangelis moved to Paris. With Demis Roussos and Loukas Sideras he formed the band "Aphrodite's Child" and got the big hit "Rain and tears".

Vangelis plays by ear because he refused to learn theoretical music. He did not have substantial knowledge of reading or writing musical notation.          He started solo career and signed a recording contract with RCA, and assembled his own 24 track studio known as Nemo Studios. Nemo Studios is near London's Marble Arch, and is referred to by Vangelis as his laboratory. The first album cut here was Heaven and Hell. This first album on the RCA label, a collection of extraordinary and forceful music, gave him a high position in movie scoring in Europe and United States. To this date, all albums that followed Heaven and Hell were equally internationally acclaimed and enormous sellers. Vangelis achieved an array of awards, among them an Oscar in 1982 for the soundtrack of the film Chariots of Fire......continue on  http://bau2.uibk.ac.at/perki/artist.html

THE MOVIE= Never on Sunday (also known as Pote Tin Kyriaki  ) is a 1960 black-and-white film which tells the story of Ilya, a prostitute who lives in the port of Piraeus in Greece, and Homer, an American tourist — a classical scholar enamored with all things Greek.   Ilya is a character close to the "hooker with a heart of gold" cliche.   Homer feels Ilya's life style typifies the degradation of Greek classical culture and attempts to steer her onto the path of morality (still another kind of the Pygmalion story).

Blue star is a “lovely” tune, an anthem, a piece of art - a tune you’ll never forget - and it will make you happy ...  THE VENTURES played it at guitar, too, also very nice with a complete different mood, though..

David Lynch (b 1946) is one of the most creative and fascinating artists of our time. He is best known as the director of such strangely beautiful pictures as Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart – the former received a best director Academy Award nomination; the latter won the Palm d'Or award at the 43^rd Cannes Film Festival in 1990.

Angelo Badalamenti = in his association with director David Lynch which had started a couple of years earlier on "Blue Velvet". David Lynch has often been heavily involved in the musical aspects of his films, often co-writing songs. Badalamenti has gone on to create or arrange a number of successful pop songs, sometimes under the name "Andy Badale" and collaborated with Tim Booth on "Booth & The Bad Angel". His darker films (usually for Lynch) tend to have a slow, seedy, jazz quality, often scored for a small band or group including the use of synthesisers.  (b 22 March 1937  New York,, USA ) Blue Velvet (1986) (as Andy Badale) ....

I think is one of five most amazing and thrilling 'tunes' of all time.  originally a Coca Cola jingle! ( (later a Top 10 hit for the Bob Crewe Generation) for Tab diet cola). Sid Ramin= Born 22 January 1924 Boston, Massachussetts         Grew up with Leonard Bernstein in Boston and studied at the New England Conservatory of Music and Boston University before moving to New York City.

Bernstein hired him to handle the orchestrations for his musical "West Side Story" and Ramin eventually won a Grammy for the soundtrack album and an Academy Award for scoring the movie version. He later arranged the most memorable numbers from the musical into suite for symphony orchestra that's often performed in pops concerts. After "West Side Story,", Ramin was in demand on Broadway, and he contributed arrangements for the musicals "Gypsy!", "Wildcat," "I Can Get It For You Wholesale," and "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." Ramin worked in television again in the early 1960s as the musical director for "The Patty Duke Show" and "Candid Camera." He provided television with some of the most memorable advertising jingles of the 1960s, including "Come Alive!" for Pepsi and "Music to Watch Girls By" (later a Top 10 hit for the Bob Crewe Generation) for Tab diet cola.  Ramin also composed the original scores for the movie version of Harold Robbins' Stiletto.        http://www.spaceagepop.com/ramin.htm

"As time goes by" lyrics (letra)
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Moonlight and lovesongs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
The fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by....

Burnett went on to become a teacher at Commercial High in New York, and on summer break 1938 he visited Europe to see firsthand that continent's troubles. There he was moved by the plights of refugees and resisters. There also he was mesmerized by the music of a black piano player working in a Paris cafe.
