Roman Polanski's " Tanz der Vampire " - keyboard cover#3 - Menuett im Ballsaal

[@raoulradius6422]

C'est beau à quel point l'image peut parfois interférer avec le son ! Dès la première seconde on est accroché par la sonorité du clavecin, bien contemporain de l'histoire. Puis quelque chose de tendre, d'enfantin, genre "boîte à musique" vous prend le cœur. On est alors baladé entre nostalgie, terreur, enchantement, inquiétude, voire compassion pour les personnages. Que de talents, touchés par la grâce, dans ce film légendaire !!

Wow.... Listening to the song and going back to my early childhood! Loved the movie!

[@peryngveohlin4246]

I love this movie and all their songs. ❤️

[@unsinnkim3690]

Due to its 50th anniversary, I demand a BlueRay release of this movie, including a full length audio commentary by Polanski, a CD with the full soundtrack and a ton of deleted scenes!!! ... please...

[@MrDravenLee]

That would be the best thing.If someone did that all my christmas's would come at once!

[@HicJacetVampyr]

I think there is for an half an hour deleted scenes. Vampire horror scenes as well as naked woman scenes. MGM demanded from Polanski to cut it out before the film made it to the theatres. They probably ruined the whole movie..

[@Julian-zj2qy]

Yes that would be fantastic, especially a Polanski commentary. BluRay or DVD doesn't matter to me - Mr Koukol trancends all formats.

[@spb7883]

PLUS the US version! I have a dvd rip of this from a VHS tape my dad made in the mid-80s (shown on Fright Night on WOR Channel 9; the oldest VHS tape we have). Would love to have that remastered.

[@TimonofBath]

My favourite piece from any film, thrilled to hear it played at last! A thousand thank yous!

[@MrDravenLee]

Amazing work! You did a great job creating this video and playing the soundtrack. Best vampire movie ever made. This was the movie that first introduced me to Sharon and i have loved her ever since!!! R.I.P Sharon

[@hectorwalczak3062]

Hi, can you pass me the sheet music? Thanks

I've been looking to get info on the filming location.. without any success.. castle probably doesn't really exist, sad...

[@Vok1970]

There are a lot of matte-paintings in the movie, some landscape and backgrounds or the moon and the castle is also cleary one of them, but they all add much to the romantic but creepy and beautiful fairytale-like atmosphere and feeling. But you can find some interesting infos in the german wikipedia : Ferdy Mayne stated in an interview that nearly the whole movie was shot in the studios. The end credits only list MGM and Elstree-Studios near London as filming locations, but Polanski himself added in another german TV-show, some parts were also shot in the Dolomite Alps and Grödnertal in South Tyrol. For example you can cleary see the Seiser Alm in the movie, but those shots were background-projected into the movie - and a lot shots or backgrounds are coulisses or matte paintings, as said before. The Castle itself does not exist, but was inspired by Burg Taufers, located in Taufers in South-Tyrol, and some smaller details, like the castle's gate, were a true copy to the original...

omg thank you!!! couldn't ask for more info! :D

[@juanlagos2125]

What is the name of the minuet of the dance of the vampires?

[@Vok1970]

Good question, but I don't think minuets in general need to have any names. Looking at Bach or Mozart they mostly are also just called "minuet in G", "minuet in D" or "minuet" only for example. It's like other things in classic musics, if it's a dance, it's just called "dance" or "Toccata" oder "Fuge in D Minor" etc. if it's such... And as in this case the notes and recordings were lost long ago and therefore the music never made it to any soundtrack, we will probably never know if there was any name or working title. But I could imagine if it were released on the soundtrack it also would just have been called something like "Ball room minuet". Or "The Dance of the Vampires" as you kind of have suggested already would have been a good title as well. If I want to refer to it I call it "Minuet from the Roman Polanski movie 'The fearless Vampire Killers' aka 'Dance of the Vampires' by Christoph Komeda". Then everybody will know what I'm talking about. And if there was any title but most people never have heard of it you would have to explain anyways. So I think no title is needed. It's A minuet and THE minuet from the movie.

[@juanlagos2125]

@@Vok1970 Thanks for summing up in a few words. But the musical theme must be registered somewhere in Europe. someone must have created it. I don't know where you're from, but I think you're close to solving the enigma.

[@Vok1970]

@@juanlagos2125 Don't know what you mean by "someone must have created it". The complete music of the movie of course is written by Krzysztof Komeda and the minuet is clearly also his work because it repeats Sarah's Theme. But you cannot find the sheet music anywhere within the complete work of him, otherwise it would have been released in any form by now. It also seems that the studio had no recording of it left because if it existed the ballroom music would have been featured on any soundtrack publication for sure because it's the climax of the movie and people are asking for it till this day. Sadly Komeda died early from Hematoma in 1969 just 2 years after the movie and 4 months before Sharon Tate was murdered. And he fell into a coma even months before, so that music somehow must have gotten lost very early on and obviously was not part of his legacy. So all we've got left is the movie itself and the other music score from this and his other movies and the rest of his work. However, I don't think that he had given it any name other than minuet and if it were released with the soundtrack and they had no title they probably had made up one. And what's wrong with it if you just call it "ballroom minuet" because that's what it is... But good luck with researching Komeda's work if you want to give it a try yourself.

[@juanlagos2125]

@@Vok1970 Si Krzysztof Komeda created the musical score for the film. that minuet should also have been recorded as part of the film's sundtrack. I am from South America and I think that you as a musician from Europe. you are closer than me.

[@Vok1970]

@@juanlagos2125 Agree, it should have been released with the soundtrack but it never was. Not on any releases even if they were called "the complete work of Krzysztof Komeda". And besides that, the minuet is not the only music missing from this movie. My guess is that the studio has lost parts of the recordings. Perhaps through a fire or another accident. And we have no written notes in Komedas legacy to find out the exact partiture or any titles. Seems like there is a spell with this or a curse :) And yes, being in germany I am closer to poland but nevertheless I don't have any connections there. And even if I'm older: When the movie came out first and Komeda died I wasn't born yet either, so I got most informations from the internet, too. Therefore it makes no real difference where you are. I was also searching for the music since 20-30 years ago and as I could see it, many other people did so as well until this day. But nobody was lucky so at one point in time I decided to listen to the DVD and try to play it myself. But that's not the real deal. The pitch is too high and the accords are not all really accurate oder genuine. But besides that, Komeda did never made transcriptions for one instrument as I know. So if the notes existed, they would have been the parts for cello, cembalo etc. I also think if I would listen to it again nowadays, I would play it differently to make it sound more accurate. But I don't make much music anymore for health reasons and if I do, I play the guitar. And I gave up hope long ago that authentic or official material ever sees the light of day. So we might never find out more as little if Komeda had any title in mind. And that was your question, right ? How the song is called... And it's a good question because nobody knows. But you can suggest that there likely was no title ever. Other than being a minuet. My guess is that with other movie scores (Star Wars for example) the composer also doesn't create names for all his music other than "The Force Theme" or "Main Title" etc... But more likely he just gives it numbers for the orchestra and when the music gets released I think the producers then give the scores names which describe the scenes in the movie when they appear. But I could be wrong. Maybe John Williams himself called one sheet for The Empire Strikes Back "The Asteroid Field" oder another "The City in the Clouds". But one could guess as I said that the minuet most likely would have been called "Ballroom Minuett" or "The Dance of the Vampires" then and by whomever. That's what fits most and makes sense. And if you wanted to know the definitive real title because you are looking for it online, you now know that you are not alone and countless others have done so before. But as it appears that nobody ever was lucky the only thing left would be to hold a seance and ask the spirit of Komeda himself, I suspect :) And even if you were the only person in the world to know the name, it wouldn't help you with searching it on the internet or that other people automatically know what you're talking about, right ? But if you just ask for "The minuet from the Polanski vampire movie" everybody will know. So why bother with knowing "the real name" ? Greetings to South America
