Aces High (1976) | Soundtrack | Richard Hartley

This is by far the best version of this tune, it makes my blood run cold to think of the machine gun bullets ripping through the canvas of the old planes and no parachute to escape death.

One of the best british marches. And it's music from a movie !

[@stxa2594]

The opening bars (and the bridge) are in fact from a traditional German military march ("Alte Kameraden"), also used (in full) by Richard Hartley for the opening sequence of the movie, then very beautifully superimposing his own original theme, also a march melody. This movie and its soundtrack have left a huge impression on me ever since I first saw it 30 years ago. BTW, Christopher Plummer is/was not only an excellent actor but also an excellent concert pianist in his own right.

@@stxa2594 Wow, thank you for that nugget of info. I'm wondering about the orchestral music that's played near the end, during the attack on the observation balloons. It feels a bit like something baroque. I really love this theme and am trying to figure out where it came from. Do you - or does anyone - know if it was composed for Aces High, or if it was taken from some other source, or if it was a hybrid composition like the Richard Hartley / German march combo? I know it's a tricky question, so thank you in advance for anyone who can help! :) :) :)
