- This recording appears to be an early stereo version that MAY have been done under the direction of Glenn Miller for one of the two films the band made. In listening to it, it is done slowly and the actual sound of the instruments makes it seem as though it could have been from that time. However, I do not know. It IS NOT FROM the album "THE GLENN MILLER STORY" as I have that album and that version is completely different. If there is anyone who knows the origin of this piece, feel free to leave your comments. This came from a tape transfer that only said Moonlight Serenade.

I love this song
Beautiful
The good times
No, this was not the original Glenn Miller and His Orchestra, nor even one of the ghost-type orchestras led after his loss during the war by Tex Beneke, Ray McKinley or others, and it is not the version used under the opening credits or in any Miller film. This was recorded in stereo by the low-budget Crown label in the late 1950's and released as "A Tribute to Glenn Miller" (and other repackaged titles) as recorded by "Members of The Glenn Miller Orchestra." The main selling point was that it was in stereo and well, it does have many of the original band members. I have several of those albums here and generally, they aren't very good. To calicoguy's point below, it is true that Miller's film soundtracks ("Sun Valley Serenade," and "Orchestra Wives") have been issued now in stereo, that was not the purpose nor the intent of those sessions made in 1941 and 1942. Instead, two tracks were recorded and mixed down to mono and issued originally that way. One microphone was usually dedicated to vocalists or soloists and the other was for the orchestra. However, with today's technology, they have been remixed using each track like a separate audio channel (left and right) so that we hear three-dimensional or stereo depth. Those remixed recordings of Miller's orchestra really are remarkable in that they are near-high fidelity and the stereo depth gives us an opportunity to sit as close to the bandstand of the original band as we can- until we can create a time machine and go back and listen in person.
The mono phonics sounds of The Glenn Miller's Orchestra seems to be present I believe its authenticity is Real.

A very lovely version, I just miss the strings from the wartime band...🙂
The entire musical score for 'Orchestra Wives' was done in an early version of stereo. This is the slow tempo version used on the soundtrack (in an edited form) under the opening credits. I had the film on VHS tape (dubbed from TV on the old BRAVO) but it long ago deteriorated to unwatchable. I don't consider it much of a loss because outside of the musical sequences, it isn't a very good movie. Fortunately, I showed a rare moment of good sense and dubbed the musical numbers off to DVD, which I play and enjoy often.
Sorry, but as others noted this is NOT from the film, but rather a later recreation. The film version was much shorter and segues directly into _I Know Why_ after about 90 seconds.
It's about time someone came out with it. Though I realize most of the tampering happened over 55 years ago, if there's any still happening, it needs to stop on pain of law. If it can be enforced. This is desicration. Like taking people's personal effects from the Titanic debris field. All the players, save Ray Anthony have passed now. Was Miller's death at all pleasant? Too bad those who mimicked the great leaders and players couldn't make it on their own with their own famous styles. Since they couldn't, they should have run risks in the military like he did.
Qualidade Musical.
I like more this version because is a little slower than the original one. Is like, more dreamy, let's said.
It seems that some of the comments below have been made in (excusable) error. This is NOT Glenn Miller. Nor is it a track from either of his two films. The film soundtracks were NOT recorded in stereo but as alternate takes using differently placed microphones, either for mixing down or more likely to allow the selection of the best balanced recording. Recording was most likely done on 'film stubs', using movie film to record the sound. No audio tape recording at the time. Stereo has been 'recovered' by computer combining and is available on CD.
It's not a later computer-generated simulation. The sound tracks for his movies were recorded on film and on transcription discs, some of which are on display at the Miller Archives in Boulder CO. They weren't alternate takes but rather were separate tracks from multiple mikes so, as you note, they could be blended for better balance on the final mono mix.
The sad part is that the individual tracks were usually considered just intermediate steps to the final mono track, and many ended up being trashed. Fortunately a few survive from Miller's two films as well as others by Artie Shaw, the Dorseys, and others.
to me, The phrasing and attacks in the reeds and the brass is NOT the original Miller band. Also, that is NOT Willie Schwartz on the clarinet solo.
This is not the original. It has been digitally slowed down----ach! Why do this?
Well I don't think much of this!
Sorry to inform you but this is awful. This isn’t original like you claim it to be. As soon as I heard it I knew it wasn’t Glenn’s Work. You can tell later on in the video that it sounds more bold than beautiful
