BLUE BIRD, THE
Label: SAE-CRS-0009 Date: 1940 Tracks: 20 Time = 79:12
Original soundtrack from colorful Maurice Maeterlinck fantasy starring Shirley Temple. Alfred Newman supplies treasure-trove of themes. Main "Good Mytyl" tune is pleasing lullaby, "Bluebird" melody is cheerful, ideas for variety of animals are engaging. By no means simplistic however, Newman's score intricately moves between impressionistic colors, busy networking of numerous melodies, several songs. Amongst arrangers working with Newman is David Raksin. Presented in mono from original optical nitrate scoring elements. Recorded at 20th Century Fox with Alfred Newman conducting.
