I understand, that during the Second World War, the BBC used to come on, presaged by the sounds of the Fifth Sympony. "V for Victory"...there were messages, to the underground. Apparently, even during the war, there were "Good Germans."

It turns out that this is from the movie: Once Upon a Time in America: Cockey's song. (1984)

I never saw the film...or if I did, it didn't make as much of an impression as his other work.

Good to see someone dedicated to a thread like this.

I'm quite illiterate when it comes to classical music, but I still enjoy a good classical song when I bump into one.

[G4.]

you should watch it Richard , i believe Leone Deniro and Morricone are at their very best. it's a masterpiece

[G4.]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Wolfgang_Korngold
I am familiar with this fellow, as a composer for Hollywood. I saw his name on various screen credits AND classical music radiocast programming…and the above hyperlink tells me that he escaped the “anschluss” by coming back to Hollywood to compose “a score for the new (and very expensive) film The Adventures of Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRkuHKc9YJQ <--Violin Concerto movement #2

vvv-from the ‘film library’ of Korngold’s works-vvv
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-r6mU2JnKo
“Great music of Korngold in the second half of this clip written for or the 1938 film Robin Hood .”
