"Do not squander time. That is the stuff life is made of."
And now the last one has sadly departed from this classic, RIP Olivia De Havviland. From a time when Actors were real Actors.
I think a couple are still around
@@Lord_HawHaw I'm not aware of anyone else.
@@detsportsfan18 I was wrong . I thought Bonnie Blue was still around.
@@Lord_HawHaw well I can't really tell but if your comment was made before this day (Nov 20th) last year, then there was still one credited member of the cast and crew alive, it was the guy who played Beau (Melaine's son). And today is the very first anniversary of his passing, so maybe it's not a coincidence that I'm seeing and replying to your comment right now
“The land is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it's the only thing that lasts".
One of the best movies ever made. And one of the absolute best scores of any kind ❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Max Steiner was a genius! A wonderful composer and conductor.
we only have few or none at all like his genius musician talent
He was indeed a brilliant #conductor . With all the high standards now and then in #filmmusic / #composition ... Steiner gets a "high average" for me.
Max Steiner was indeed a genius. His film music is haunting. Never leaves us. I can’t get over Gone with the wind and Now Voyager themes.....
The portion where Dixie blends in is so sad and sentimental. 3:20. Beautifully scored.
Where Dr & Mrs Meade learn of their son's death?
@JOHN ROARTY Yes! It's practically an artistic miracle, for it makes the decadent slavocracy sympathetic. Without passages like that and the main theme ("Tara"), the picture would have failed artistically.
I think it's the best, evergreen cinema in the world. Dazzling direction, Vivien Leigh's dazzling performance. Steiner's music is uplifting and thought-provoking. There was a time when I watched it every night for 3 months.
Still gives me goosebumps. Sat in a movie theater in 1980 watching this again, in labor. Refused to leave until the movie was over.
What a grand opening theme song for such a grand movie! Here in Mercer County, Pennsylvania we have a restaurant named TARA. It's a pre-Civil War mansion, totally dedicated to this movie and loaded with things that came from the movie along with artifacts of the Civil War period. All the many dining rooms are even named after the film's characters.
Yes, the music is really great.
Max Steiner was educated by the famous Austrian musicians "Gustav Mahler" and "Johann Strauß".
Impressive, he brought the Austrian Eueopean Orchestra to Hollywood which does still exist in John Williams.
Without Steiners Grandfather, Johan Strauß wouldnt have done his famous operettes.
And his Dad was decorated by the Austrian-Hungarian Emporer.
The best movie of all time! Best actors, music, etc.
STEINER IS ONE OF THE GREATEST COMPOSERS OF ALL TIMES AND THIS IS THE PINNACLE OF FILM SCORE HISTORY.
How do these great composers come up with such truly inspiring and great themes
Its a gift.
And Beethoven was deaf ! Unbelievable.
The idea of genius is false. These themes come from HARD WORK over and over and the COURAGE TO CREATE (Rollo May's book). One goes into the Caos Zone of Creativity into the ZERO POINT (heaven, or the Great Behond) and brings back a SYNETHESIS that stops the war between a Thesis and an Antithesis here in Space-Time. It occurs in every human endeavor. Chuck Yeager the sound berrier, Nadia perfect 10, all Arts and Sciences. And you and I can FEEL IT even though we did nothing to make it. ENJOY.
Richard Close Beethoven could hear for most of his life. And I bet ya that even after he was deaf he could still hear the music inside his head.
Witchcraft; black magic; the dark arts
"The Death of Melanie" is just so sad. You immediately feel the sadness although you can't see their tears.
I consider myself a nerd of sci-fi and fantasy, but I also love great Hollywood classics like Gone With the Wind and Casablanca. When I think that this movie is older than my grandparents... :O I feel so much respect that I almost fear it!
have you ever seen The Twilight Zone?
@@tvfabiola4974 the tv series?
@@SuperHomelanderman Yes, from 1959. If you are passionate about science fiction and fantasy, I recommend it.
@@SuperHomelanderman One Step Beyond which came out the same time as The Twilight Zone more supernatural then sci fi is also a good one.
True music, true art, true history.
Wonderful artists....
I can visualize every scene with the change of the music :)
I'm from Argentina, so sorry if I make mistakes. But I'm a GREAT GWTW fan since I was 14. This film changes my life for the better since I began to study & search everything about History & Arts from the very moment I first saw it. Now I'm a teacher in a High School in Arts, thanks to GWTW- Thank u Fred for this present for me!!- I had suscribed to your channel. GWTW music is magnificent in every sense of the word, pure magic & sentiment. An Epìc Score, a timeless one!!.
gwtwcarlos Lovely to read your sincere story about GWTW and yourself.
I am also a GWTW fan since I was 14 and I still love that movie
Love stories set against mindless, savage mass butchery, GWTW, Zhivago, et alia. Romance makes everything OK, I guess.
God bless your heart
Hey, I'm from Argentina too, I just watched GWTW today. Great movie and great score. I know it'll be in my heart forever.
I don't recall how many times I've watched this movie; but I'm sure I'll watch it again.
the PERFECT score for a PERFECT film- Period.
What a star filled cast! Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard and Olivia de Havilland!
And academy award winner, Ms. Hattie McDaniels -- what a performance she gave! And Olivia de Havilland, now 100+ years old-- WOW, not as frail as she played in "GWTW" (Ms.Melanie). 7/2019
Without Leslie Howard,it would have been way much better.
@@patrickryan1515 If you're going to go out of your way to praise someone, the least you could do is get her name and address correct. And what was Vivien Leigh, chopped liver?
@@nstix2009xitsn You don't bother to reference the misspelling here, and just what you mean by correct address is beyond me. As well, it goes without saying that Vivien Leigh did indeed give an incredible performance, but there were other notable members of the cast to whom I chose to give credit. And just who are you to admonish me in the first place? Comments such as yours are nothing more than mean spirited. Save such comments for the politicians ruining our country. Good day!
@@patrickryan1515 I shouldn't have needed to spell out that her name was "McDaniel," not "McDaniels." After all, you're supposedly her biggest fan. And she was Miss, not "Ms." It would take another 40 years--long after Miss Hattie McDaniel's death--for feminists to succeed at inflicting that monstrosity on the country. And there's nothing mean-spirited about prompting for proper English.
My favorite book. My favorite movie. My favorite main character. Perfection in absolutely everything!!! 😍😍😍😍
Great balls of fire! C'est le plus grand film de tous les temps... et la plus belle sound track too.
This score transports me to another place. I love all of Mr Steiner's scores but this is the best. If ever a posthumous Oscar should be awarded it should be for this. He was a genius.
Die beste Filmmusik vor dem zweiten Weltkrieg voller schönen und unvergesslichen Melodien. Echt wunderbar!
"Gone with the Wind" by Max Steiner
Named by the American Film Institute as the second greatest film score of all time, right behind John William's Oscar-winning score of 1977's "Star Wars". This film really broke the barrier of what film scores could be in the future, and Max broke that boundary the moment Tara's theme comes up, plus adding elements of Civil War songs into the score, like "Dixie" and "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and the brilliant spine-tingling brass in the "escaping Altanta" sequence. Epic, mind-blowing, and up there with the great works of Beethoven and Mozart. "Gone with the Wind" has without a doubt one the greatest soundtracks ever conceived by a film score composer.
darthstarkiller1912 Really brilliant. The score is a masterpiece.
darthstarkiller1912 in my humble opinion this score is the NUMBER ONE !!!!!
darthstarkiller1912 And don't forget that Warner Bros. loaned him to Selznick and he was working on at least one Warner movie at the same time he wrote this.
MsSoundguy I will never forget that- Steiner had only 3 weeks to compose 4 hours of music for GWTW- In his own words: "One can't be Beethoven in this cases"- But I think he was better than Beethoven composing a score that matches perfectly well with each scene & even the gestures of all characters!!- I admire TALENT, and certainly he had it!!. In the theme "Scarlett and Melanie tend the wounded" he reaches perfection: The scene and the music are heartbreaking & the violin "tells" us the inner feelings of each one there.
Ivonne mendeville Max Steiner is one of the 20th century's great composers. I worked at a classical music station for years and would play Steiner scores and other composers' film music and get yelled at. At one point asked for the music director to explain the difference between good movie music and, for example, Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream." I was allowed to play film scores thereafter.
This gives me the chills. I love GWTW!
Anyone love how the motif for Tara's theme reappears in the finale? I think it's really amazing.
The father of musical SCORES. BEAUTIFUL INTEGRAL MUSIC.
I can never listen to this without shedding a tear
Brilliant piece of music - like the film a true classic- cherished by millions
I love these soundtrack suites. It's like having a three hours long epic film condensed to 15 minutes.
i love that the pictures of the sheet music are presented like the opening credits to old films such as this
28 and even I don't think they make films and music like this anymore, and it is a damned shame. God, how I miss these films.
The Godfather of film scores. Williams, Barry, Horner, Elfman, whomever. They all owe it to the brilliance of Max Steiner. And this was Steiner's best.
1939: probably the single greatest year for moviemaking, with this one leading the pack. Max Steiner all but invented how to compose and conduct movie music. All of his methods are still in use today, starting from "King Kong" in 1933. Steiner started work for this while still at RKO, where he met and worked for David O. Selznick, who had purchased the rights for Margaret Mitchell's book. Selznick was able to 'borrow' him for this one from Warners, and Steiner had a clause in his contract letting him work for Selznick on request. It took him so long to prepare it (you try to write three-plus hours of music on your time off) that Selznick had to use bits of it, along with music from others of his films, for preview screenings of "GWTW". The soundtrack was reportedly the last element added before final prints were made and sent to Atlanta. It captures and updates the music of that era, incorporating his own themes and classics of that era, recalling that 'civilization, gone with the wind'. And he got robbed for the '39 Oscar by "The Wizard of Oz" and Herbert Stothart.
This music always makes me so nostalgic, it's such a good movie!
My favorite movie of all time. I love to spend my Birthday quietly watching this movie even though I don't get to do it that often. Nothing is better.
Ruby
Great composer!
Six years before Gone with the Wind Max Steiner composed the excellent score to the original King Kong!
Love the movie
Love the soundtrack
Best movie ever
How much I love this score !!!!!!!!- Max Steiner was one of the best... IF not the best composer of all time!!!!!- Every one of GWTW scenes has the perfect music, and remember Mr Steiner had only four weeks to compose 4 hours of original music !!!!!
Je suis toujours admiratif de vos compilations de thèmes qui s'enchaînent avec beaucoup de limpidité .
Dans le cas d' "Autan en emporte le vent " on retrouve avec émotion tous les thèmes qui jalonnent ce film inoubliable.
Bravo pour le résultat et continuez à nous faire revivre nos émotions de jeunesse.
I studied with Harold E Mitchell who played First Trumpet in Gone With the Wind. Max Steiner wrote the Score in Two weeks, that’s right Two weeks! After that Warner Brothers made Max the Head of the whole music department! From MGM to WB’s He took Harold E Mitchell with him to Warner Brothers! What a team!
It's almost been 3 months since I watched this film, and I can't stop humming or whistling the theme.
I always get Mamies Theme on my mind.
Of course, Steiner did not score 4 hours of music for the film, only the parts that required it.But he was a quick composer, and I believe he worked just as feverishly on Kong.
Remarkable that an Austrian immigrant could capture such pastoral and "Southern" feeling music so well for this work!
Thanks for uploading it. Gone with the wind is one of my fav films. Always listen to this soundtrack whenever I feel dispirited and melancholy. As Scarlett hv said “After all, tomorrow is another day.”
Absolutely breathtaking.
I love the theme music to gone with the wind so much I'm having it at my funeral...
Wow, I didn't know Max Steiner composed and conducted this great song. Good to know!
It's very hard to believe that Hollywood was able to make such an wonderful epic film way back in 1939.
That was the height of moviemaking, my friend. :-)
It is amazing, considering it just started.
"Gone With the Wind". "The Wizard of Oz". "Wuthering Heights". "Stagecoach". "The Four Feathers". "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". "Gunga Din". "Goodbye, Mr. Chips". "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington". And the animated "Gulliver's Travels". All are classics, some are masterworks. All were released in 1939.
That was Hollywood at its peak. That's why we call that era the golden age of Hollywood.
What I find sad is how horrible Hollywood has become since the late 90's.
Max Steiner es un compositor increíble, aquí escuchamos a una de sus obras más llena de lirismo, emoción, y reconocibles. Me encanta.
One of the best movie scores on record. I don't know why those day of analog music sound better than these new age crispy clean digital music
there's a lot of raw energy but also nostalgia in this that reminds me of Rhett and Scarlett, and of the South at that time. very fitting.
What a great movie that portrayed a part of American history so perfected. Vivien Leigh was so beautiful and Clark Gable, the perfect Rhett Butler.
Don't forget Superman
This theme totally describes the books and movies. The charactors and the events.
The great movie of all time and a warning of what was and has come to pass.
I sleep when this piece of music is on, as if I can be taken back to the 90s when all was well.
As many who testimony here, GWTW was a dear to my heart soundtrack !
I saw the movie in 1970 with my parents when I was but 12. I puchased the then available OST on LP (a badly retreated sound whith artificial stereo effect made in France) when I was14. Then only few reels were released on record. I puchased many re-recording of the Steiner's concert suite of his score on LP, the RCA Charles Gerhardt in 1976 (1973 release), the 1961 Muir Mathieson, still on LP ; then in the 80's the short suite on Decca CD arranged and conducted by Stanley Black. And I had to wait my 50's to have the Rhino 2CD conplete sountrack recording ! But this recording is the apotheosis for the Steiner's masterpiece. Thank you Fred for this short 15 min. montage, it is well done. I was thrillled yesterday evening listening it.
Congratulation for your work. Please go on !
For Sountracks and GWTW lovers, if you must purchase but one recording, buy this 2CD deluxe set Rhino Records, a must have !
Regards
And thank you Fred for this short reel from the Steiner family private movies !
Thank you for the wonderful comment!
Fred
It is my pleasure, too glad to talk with people who share my interest for movie music !
Forgive my english writing which is not perfect, but I'm still learning for 50 years :-)
By the way this 2CD complete recording is quite unavailable here in France.
What I want to add, the Steiner's score although very great in itself, becomes more interesting when you try to identify in it the many quotations of traditionnals and folksongs of the period (Dixie, Swanee River, Shermann marching though Georgia… ) he included and arranged in it !
I actually saw this first at a drive-in (!) in 1963, in spread-out 55-millimeter, on an old print. Liked the movie, but of course, that outdoor speaker was terrible. Finally saw it in a single-screen theatre in the early 80's, on a better print and with full audio. Warners has restored this back to the original 35mm and cleaned up the sound and Technicolor.
Today's "music" doesn't come within 10,000 light-years of Steiner's music.That chord progression leading to the statement of the Tara theme while the title is shown on the screen always moves me to tears. I am very interested in chord progressions, and imho, that particular one is the greatest progression ever committed to staff paper. Steiner was a genius; there's no denying that statement!
The perfect combination of Genius & Heart. His Scores of the Bette Davis films are my personal favorites - The Letter, Jezebel, Now Voyager, All This and Heaven Too, and on and on and on!
So classical and enigmatic. You can hear how current and contemporary it is despite it has been decades 7:33
This is the ORIGINAL and can't be beat. It was recorded in Mono. They have done re-makes of this in Stereo sound, but the original performance is superb. The re-makes cannot match the intensity of this piece and all the songs performed for the original Sound Track.
We are fortunate in that when Max Steiner signed to work at the Warner Bros. Studio he could still compose this epic score for David O. Selznick's film. Rachel Paray (below) is right, this is Steiner's masterpiece.
I totally agree with you...have my own piano arrangement sans music in my head of the entire opening credits of the film, which have played for years. Actually met Mr. Reisling the curator of the Max Steiner Music Society at his home in Kankakee. Illinois back in 1980 ftwe corresponding with him; own a number of cassette tapes from the Library. Max Steiner's music has long been a part of my inspirational development since my 20s, as well my spiritual growth & I will be 76 yrs of age should I live to my birthday in mid September. Thanks very much for ur post, & best wishes!
Watching Gone with the wind changed my life overnight. The score is utterly transcendent.
One of the finest work of Max Steiner followed by Casablanca(1942),starring Humphrey Bogart,Ingrid Bergman,Paul Hendried n British actor Claude Rains.Great by Max Steiner.
Still amazing movie after a long time
Max was amazing. But David O. Selznick’ s guidance and inspiration was equal to or even exceeding anyone’s contribution to this beautiful music!!!
What A great Movie and Sound Track Thanks to All that had A Part !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This soundtrack is for me one of the best in the world with Steel of Magnolias and The Thorn Birds! ❤️❤️❤️It’s pure harmony for heart, soul and spirit!
Purr art...amazing ❤
Love the soundtrack! Love the movie.
Such beautiful music. Reminds me of the very first time I saw Gone with the Wind, which was at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. Us all standing in line FREEZING with our little white leotards on and patent leather shoes. I pretty much was too young to understand much of the movie, but the part where she was whipping that poor exhausted horse and it died? I started crying out loud and everyone looked at me! I would have said "That bitch!" if I knew that word then! Mom and sisters were comforting me... and that's all I remember from the first time I saw GWTW. Now I like it much better, but I do overt my eyes for the horse "killing" scene...sniff!
Such a timeless classic that’s still one of the best moves decades later….#SouthernBell..#Georgia..#GRITS
🎬🎥🍿📽📼📀🎬🎥🍿📽📼
Its very sad that the wonderful Black actors in this super film were not allowed at the Academy Awards ceremony. Thank God things have changed a lot since 1939.
It's true the place was segregated but Selznick pulled strings to get Hattie McDaniel in to accept her award. What a great performance, and what a loss for us all that so few films took advantage of her and other black actors' full potential.
JJD...This is the best movie ever made!! Olivia de Haverland is still with us, thank God!
JJD, thank God for Mr. Selznick!
+James F. Harrington At 100 :-)!
Hattie McDaniel was there for a much-deserved Best Supporting Actress Oscar. We must understand that this was the culture of the time; that things have gotten better, but we still have far to go.
This film came out the year my father was born, he's been gone one year since June.
No question.....Some of the most exquisite music ever written in any musical form. Second to Star Wars? Really???
One of my all time favorites.❤❤❤❤
Frankly my dear..... I don't give a damn about the dislikes ;)
vegeta solo Nor do I.....
@@jonathanshane6274]]]0
Brilliant and spine tingling
Imagine,this movie is older than our grandparents, this movie is older than WW2, this movie is older than TV. There are people in this movie born in the 1800s, the last person to star in this movie died just last year. in 2020. Almost 100 years after the movie was filmed. And now we are listening to the great music of the movie on computers or phones in bed at 3 AM almost 100 years later. Im sure the people in this movie did not expect that .Time is incredible. Life is incredible. We are living through history.
Just re-watched for the umtenth time. Tribuet to Hattie McDaniel. God Bless her
Always thought that Max Steiner did a wonderful job with the music for this movie.
Part 1 I was like oh my god please don't leave it at that ending, little didn't I know there was side 2......not much better...god that ending, so sad :( but such a great movie and score. I love 4:54 when she's at the bbq, that piece of music reminds me of the Oklahoma movie. But the whole score is amazing
Very moving - thank you! :)
This song is a compliment for silent heroes - who dare to chase their dream.
Lejos la mejor pelicula de todos los tiempos y su maravillosos temas lo mejor
Awesome score
Another amazing suite from you. One of my all-time faves. Can't wait to see it again on the big screen next month (the new restoration is being released in cinemas in the UK)
Love this beautiful themeOnly Bose headphones&Cowin pro sounds exactly like the sound from the movieU can hear every instrunent
surely a good mix of music and video to enhance the filming effect.
This soundtrack is in a category by itself.
Yes, thanks and with the opening cymbal crash..wish they used in on more moder recordings of this.
beautiful :')
Nunca se hecho una pelicula como esta !ES UNICA!!!!!!!.
I was laughing looking at the score pages the notes of Steiner : The South is dead, and so am I !
We musn't forget that the terrible amount of work this score needed ,lead him to use drugs to be efficient enough and dammage his health. Even if he was helped in some reels by other composers/ arrangers. Poor Max!
Farewell, great cinema.
superb i love it so much !!!
Steiner lost an Oscar for GWTW to Herbert Stothart for his music under-scoring of THE WIZARD OF OZ. While I love Oz , I don't think Stothart should have won over Steiner. Stothart did the background scoring using variations of the Arlen/ Harbug music. Steiner should have won the Oscar for his full throated, epic GWTW score.
This soundtrack and the soundtrack to The Godfather are by far my favorite in cinema history!
