Classical question


In the movie "Francis" the Francis Farmer story starring Jessica Lange they play a wonderful classical piece at the end during the closing credits. I have never been able to find out who the composer is. I would dearly like to buy a CD with this tune on it. If you could enlighten me I would be very grateful. Thanks.

I have found music lists on the web of the Soundtrack and the only classical listed is Mozart's k313 I believe which is actually played during the movie itself and is not the one I'm looking for.

It may be the main theme by John Barry, who wrote the score for the movie.

It's on a CD entitled "Moviola", a collection of scores Barry wrote for several movies, such as "Body Heat"---what a clever movie!---, "Dancing With Wolves", "Out of Africa", etc.

You can listen to it on Tower Records' website.

Jim,

Thanks for your input. I checked out Tower and can't tell 100% if that's the tune because it's so short on the Tower playback but it could be it. In any case, I gave the rest of the tracks a listen and I don't think I'd be disappointed if I bought this Disc. Again thanks.

I've just ordered the disc through Amazon.ca. Will let you know if successful or not. Of course I had to order a couple of others while I was at it. Sometimes it would be easier with a cheaper hobby. Thanks again.
I'm happy to have been of assistance. I'm sure you'll enjoy Moviola.

My problem is that my musical tastes are so narrowly focused I have trouble finding new CDs. I'm primarily into classical, and chamber music in particular (and within that, piano trios---"narrow" becomes a fine line!). To broaden my horizons, I've even started to listen to some bluegrass (Edgar Meyer, Bela Fleck, the group Hot Rize, for example)! Never woulda thunkit.

One group I recently discovered is The Be Good Tanyas. Hard to categorize them---and I'm not the first to try---but I really enjoy their two albums.

With regard to cost, I see that CD prices have started dropping.

Jim,
I listen to just about everything that is good. From hard core punk rock to jazz to blues to classical. I have been getting into classical more and more lately. Still listen to heavy metal too though. I may be 43 but I'm not going down easy. If you think you could muster the words I'd be interested in finding out a little more about the Be Good Tanyas. I'm always on the lookout for something new and interesting. I haven't found anything lately that might be up your alley but if you are willing to step out on a limb there is a band called My Morning Jacket. Their album It Still Moves is very interesting. Definitely more of the rock genre but as with you and the Tanyas I would find this one hard to describe. Again thanks for taking the time to help me out.
Tom.
