A collection of theme songs that combine melancholy and grandeur, woven by a master of film music.
This 7-inch features the themes from the films "East of Eden" and "Shane" by Victor Young and his orchestra. It is a classic performance of film music that combines drama and melodic beauty.
"East of Eden," on side A, is known as the theme song for the film "East of Eden," and features a string-based melody overlaid with horns, creating an emotionally rich composition. "The Call of the Far Away Hills," on side B, is the theme song for the film "Shane," and is characterized by expansive harmonies reminiscent of majestic landscapes. Both tracks have the deep sound quality typical of Decca recordings from the 1950s, and can be said to be a record of an era when film music was established as an independent art form.
