Free Music Notes for Carousel (1956 Film Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: So perfect
Hit: 5 Stars
My father beat me once for a misdeed, and I resolved then
and there that Iwould never cry under his beltings again.
He whipped me 'til his belt broke and I would not give him the satisfaction of one tear.
But this music...and this movie... draws out what
the belt could not. It gets me every time. I fight it and the
tears well up on their own...what a perfect tragedy this movie
is, how haunting the music. Gordon McRae was such an artist.
His singing is perfect and inspired in these songs --- and
Shirley Jones complements him so well. I fell in love with her
Julie at first sight. If you haven't got this music or this
movie, you are missing out on one of life's greatest treasures.
Carousel (1956 Film Soundtrack) Poster
Richard Rodgers always considered Carousel his favorite score, even though it didn't generate the number of popular hits of some of the other shows he produced with lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II. Their adaptation of the Ferenc Molnar play Liliom is marked by three especially sublime moments. "The Carousel Waltz," Rodgers's alternative to the traditional Broadway overture, serves as an orchestral backdrop to the opening scene and is one of the best miniatures ever written for the theater. "If I Loved You," which establishes the romance of carnival barker Billy Bigelow (Gordon MacRae, a late replacement for Frank Sinatra) and nice girl Julie Jordan (Shirley Jones), is a musical minidrama in which the pair's discussion of how they are not in love reveals just how much they are in love. "Soliloquy" is Billy's powerful solo that foreshadows the action to come in Act II. Add the inspirational anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone," and you have Rodgers and Hammerstein's most extraordinary, near-operatic score. On the soundtrack for the 1956 film, MacRae and Jones are in exceptional voice (following their success in 1955's Oklahoma) and the orchestra sounds glorious, but unfortunately some of the numbers were shortened, most notably "If I Loved You." Extensive production notes, an interview with Jones, and a synopsis are included. --David HoriuchiSoundtracks Music CDs
