Dole 11 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Can anyone identify a piece of music for me? It's the music (played on strings) that underscores the scene where Schindler goes to the restaurant to meet Nazi bigwigs for the first time a few minutes into Schindler's List. The music is also used in the film Bad Santa when Billy Bob Thorton is going through the house of the person whose car he's stolen from the valet parking in Florida and I believe it's also used during the tango scene in Scent of a Woman with Pacino. Thanks to anyone who can help. Dole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HPFAN_2 0 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Is that the same piece that was used in HP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 That's "La Cumparsita," but I don't know where it was used.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPFAN_2 0 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I was talking about the DADA scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeekUYoda 0 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 No, it's not the music from the DADA scene, but I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,248 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 The song that Professon Lupin is playing on his record during the Boggart lesson is NOT Benny Goodman's Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing) as popular belief would have it. It is actually Swing, Swing, Swing from 1941, composed by none other than John Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 2,924 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I'm pretty sure Williams composed that piece of jazz as source music for the Boggart Scene(not from 1941,but specifically for PoA).He is perfectly capable of it,and they made it sound like an old crakling recording(like the Krakoshian anthem heard in Terminal,would we have guessed it's Williams if it wasn't on the c.d.?)K.M.

Morlock 9 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I sincerely doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 5,520 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 It's definitely not Sing, Sing, Sing either though. In fact, it doesn't sound like it at all.So what is this La Cumparsita? Nobody here seems to know it, and yet everybody keeps making various suggestions, but I've never heard anyone say it might be the DADA music, which I always simply assumed it was, because that's the most prominent bit of source music in the entire film.Marian - wondering.

TownerFan 4,548 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 So what is this La Cumparsita? Nobody here seems to know it, and yet everybody keeps making various suggestionsWell, "La Cumparsita" is a very well-known piece and surely one of the most famous tangos in the world! It was used very effectively in Wilder's SOME LIKE IT HOT too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to anyone who can help. DoleI can't recall what was played in SL. If the tango from Scent of a Woman (there's two different tangos, I think) is also the one they used in True Lies, then it is Por Una Cabeza as Morlock already pointed out. There is a good recording of it on the Scent of a Woman soundtrack. ~KarmLoath to admit buying a Thomas Newman score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deimos 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Hi! I'm new here. I've been reading the forum for a few weeks but never got down to writing. But I have something to say here. La Cumparsita is the piece that comes from TV just the moment after Harry blows up aunt Marge. As simple as that. Remember when you watch the movie again!

fommes 126 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I'm pretty sure Williams composed that piece of jazz as source music for the Boggart Scene(not from 1941,but specifically for PoA).He is perfectly capable of it,and they made it sound like an old crakling recording(like the Krakoshian anthem heard in Terminal,would we have guessed it's Williams if it wasn't on the c.d.?) K.M.No, it's this piece of music that I asked for in the other complete cue thread. It's not Swing Swing Swing. He did not compose it specifically for HP, Mark Snow used it on the X-Files too - I sent that cue to Neil and Miguel. Miguel explained that it is reminiscent of the various versions of Sing Sing Sing on the two Williams swing CD's if I'm not mistaken...All the best!
