At first I thought this was a recording of Maria's heartrate during the gazebo scene, with heart-stopping moments when Our Friend turns up, and then when he delivers his first smacker.
But then I realised what it was, and I'd like to say how pleased I am you have posted this, because I recorded it from the Robert Wise commentary on the 40th Anniv ed of the SOM DVD, but it is of inferior quality to this.
My advice is to try playing it in your car when you are driving alone at night - it brings it all alive! I certainly shall with this one. Thanks, Anne.

At one point, at 5.00, I thought she was having a fatal arrhythmia, but happily it seems he managed to revive her...with a kiss? Mmmmm...

When I listen to this, I find myself repeating bits of dialogue at the appropriate points, although I haven't really ever synched up with the whole thing. (I'm not sure this really matches the film). Like, "There you are!" and "E-elsa. It's no use." And lemacd's favorite, "Maria. There isn't going to be a baroness."
I read about this bit once, about how the flute is Maria and the cello is Georg. There is something unspeakably touching and beautiful when that cello starts playing (try 6:05).
I never really liked that little boing-y noise right after they kiss.

Yes, and brass is often used for warning sounds or 'realisations' (like when she realises their union is right).
No, that boing-y noise is annoying!

the union? (I was going to make a Civil War joke here, but that's going to go right by you).

Huh?!
Listening to it without the video makes me realise how much music like this adds to the atmosphere of the film. Imagine the balcony and gazebo scenes without anything! And yet play the music, close your eyes, and you are there.

"like when she realises the union is right" - I didn't get that part.
But who cares, listening to this bit just makes me so so happy

Sorry, it's my expression which is wanting. I have edited my post to read 'their union'.
But you can still make your joke about the Civil War if it will make us laugh!

I leave the laugh-inducing up to the rest of you. Really, you are all so clever, and make me laugh so much, it is really a gift. (A big gift, not just something small for the bathtub).

I originally posted this lovely surprise in July, and we've gotten so many new members since then, I thought I'd bump it up to the top and give everyone a chance to enjoy listening to it. (I can make things stick, too, but I don't like to interfere with nature).

The orchestration is just amazing----how all the little bits of each tune weave together. Awesome.

I like the way it slides from one tune to another so seamlessly too -I didn't realise this until I made a recording of it and began listening to it on its own. Very evocative. Thanks, Anne!

Oh my gosh I love this! I've been searching for the underscores to the movie for a really long while — I was hoping that I could find them in the 50th anniversary edition... :-( I'm still looking for the How Can Love Survive Waltz played at the party. Anyone has any ideas how I can find these underscores? :-P

Here's the How Can Love Survive Waltz. I believe it's on the 50th Anniversary Soundtrack (for those of you in the US, available on iTunes)

Here you go reverendcaptain. I guess it’s just harvested from the DVD but I never tire of it. |

Oh! I’ve never seen a stage production of TSOM, but I’ve always thought this is the prettiest waltz in the film. I’ve never heard it isolated before.

That background music is gorgeous! I've never heard it by itself before, and it really shows how talented of an arranger Irwin Kostal was. Thanks for sharing, augiesannie! |

YES! Now I have the both the Gazebo scene and How Can Love Survive party waltz (because that is in this thread too) on my iTunes. What a day! Now I just need some time alone to listen and daydream. Thank you!!
