Romeo & Juliet - Zefirelli - 1968 - New Soundtrack - Part 1

A more appropriate soundtrack for the dance and song scenes of Zefirelli´s Romeu and Juliet.
Nino Rota was a great composer and I like his original music for the film, but as a renaissance music aficionado I always imagined the famous ball scene with music from the epoch in order to feel even more immersed in that magic atmosphere.
PART 1
Music:
Pietro Paolo Borrono (fl. 1530-40)
Pavana la Gombertina
From the CD Early Italian Renaissance Music - Harmonia Mundi
Paul O´Dette - Lute

Dios mío! Creo casi imposible volver a ver una película tan hermosa como esta. Los ojos vivaces de Julieta, de la niña casi mujer asomandose al primer enamoramiento y de un Romeo igual de joven e inexperto, La música, el vestuario, es casi como haber estado ahí en tiempo real. Creo que Shakespeare, Rota y Zefirelli fueron una gloriosa mezcla que nos dejó un dulce y trágico sabor de boca. Mil gracias por subir a KZbin estas escenas. Vuelvo a verme de 16 con mi primera novia.

Thank you You tube for enabling me to relive my past with movie and music clips from the 60s, when I was 15, i took my first date, Randi Misoznick, to see this film version of Romeo and Juliet, in the Bronx, alas, Randi has pass on, but the thoughts I have of her, of the innocense of being on a date, will always remind me and cherished in this movie version of Romeo and Juliet

[@hoy102549]

This is a beautiful love story which is timeless

[@Jevgenija111]

it's most beautiful movie i ever watched!!!! music,actors are beautiful!!!!!!

[@victorianlulu]

Leonard Whiting is the greatest Romeo of all time. This is too beautiful for words. Thank you.~

[@isabellemartinelli7459]

Merveilleux film ! ❤❤❤

[@polishedsteel]

my teacher had us read this and watch this version of the movie. he retired last year, miss u mr. lynch!

[@Autostade67]

I'm not sure why this is labelled "a more appropriate" soundtrack...musicologically, historically, perhaps, but part of the charming genius of Rota's original score was his uncanny (and oh, so Italian) ability to blend Renaissance tropes with "Romantic" cinematic gestures. To the non-academic ear, his work seems so perfectly "Renaissance" precisely because it is suggestive rather than orthodox.

[@iluvpepi]

As a fellow Renaissance music fan, I love this idea-just for the feast and dancing scenes anyway. The BBC version has an actual Renaissance ensemble in the gallery playing during one of the scenes. Perfect selection BTW for this clip. Thank you for putting it together.!

[@soccom8341576]

I like how their love seems to break the rituals and transcend them. It is very beautiful.

[@lode999]

Very nice work. I like it.

[@nickelplangreen]

She is the Most beautiful people in the world!

[@romanpr1nce]

i remember watching this movie in school. :)

[@newtokyoterror]

beautiful choice of music. truly lovely.

[@ReginaMuse93]

Beautiful music. I love their outfits. Too bad people don't still wear these style of clothes anymore as a normal thing.

[@itssosarahh]

wow, this new soundtrack somehow really adds to the scene

[@8492grob]

a truly beautiful film

[@XXsilvermoon]

I saw this movie in 9th grade english class!

[@malenadh]

[@mgpoliveira]

Rainbowcful Of course I accept it. It is always great to have an original and creative touch from someone to such a great masterpiece. Greetings from Brazil.

[@Metalcherrytree]

its insane! I watched it in school and I was like "WHAAAAAAAAT?!"

[@MsRedfield97]

Oh thank you.

[@mgpoliveira]

@Kempesis Your short comment is the best of all. . This is it, this is real Italy, not as it is in its present appearence, but in its spiritual essence. . Thank you and best wishes

[@Lamprospoeta]

Masterpiece!!!

[@GlassOfMilk45]

this is as close to the original theme song as possible. the original score has never been found

[@tinasp3]

I prefer the 1968 one. Leonard Whiting was so cute in that movie. It is classic.

[@gazisuman9301]

____gOOd AfternOOn My Sweet *juliet*____MiSs u____

[@cutepandagirl8521]

I love the movie~ And the music is great. And People say he looks like Zac Efron, Maybe but it should be said like Zac Efron looks like Him isn't he older than Zac Efron anyway?

[@IndiaSummerxxx]

Believe it or not, Beatle Paul McCartney was offered the lead role as Romeo for this movie when it was made.

[@inugal321]

lol!! that happened to my class too!

[@singingismything1011]

oooooooh romeos hot.

[@Missycat1985]

Barb-- he's the main character on High School Musical

[@krxterm1]

ih dang i'm watching a movie from 1968 in english class wow

[@BethLaura123x]

I watched this last year in english, I prefer the 1996 version, but this one was also very good!

[@mgpoliveira]

Thank you for your comment. I changed my presentation text because after reading it better I realized it was too pretensious of me to correct a Nino Rota´s "Mistake".

[@geewhizz4213]

Olivia Pussey was gorgeous.

[@730dean]

Ayyyy

[@ladybuggs12]

im watching this in my english class and we all agree that romeo looks like zac efron

[@PippyT1]

@90julissa You can get the DVD off e bay pretty inexpensively, sometimes find it in stores. The whole movie was here on You Tube-done in pieces. Don't know if it is still on or not. Try putting in Franco Zefferelli's "Romeo and Juliet" (1968). It is very good!

[@lilu5cinco891]

Esa peli tiene 50 años... Lo menos.. Ya podrías actualizarte

[@AmusedChild]

O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!/ It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night /Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear/ Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!

[@uThInKuKnOmE450]

I'm heading in to grade 9, we better watch it, and thisversion, though deeply doubt it

[@mgpoliveira]

I liked your comment. You are a very imaginative person.

[@ilovestardoll1523]

Romeo is fucking hot! we're reading this in English and I melted when i say his picture!!

[@195211061]

Érettségi idején a legszebb filmem volt,de az is maradt sohasem felejtem.

[@MrBereck]

[@WICKEDrocksHL26]

she was 15 and he was 17 when they were cast...she wasn't allowed to attend her own premiere because she was nude in the film! :)

[@tapstar84]

ROMEO LOOKS LIKE ZAC EFRON!!!!!!

[@mgpoliveira]

@Autostade67 I agree with you in some respects my friend and I like Nino Rota´s original soundtrack. Enjoy both the original and the one I made. In other words, just use your imagination. Best wishes

[@730dean]

I watched in English as well..this one kills the modern one with Leo

[@mgpoliveira]

The dance is a Bassadanza or Basse Danse and the music I used is a Pavan. Search in Google: Basse Danse

[@nndmyllarian9927]

Could you send me the piece please? I could not find it. :(

[@mgpoliveira]

@JonasBrothers813 The dance you see in the video is a Basse danse or Bassa Danza, a court dance, popular in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. However, the music I used is as Pavane, also popular in those times. Well, nobody is perfect. For more information, search on Google: Basse Dance and Pavane

[@somethinggtwo]

@GlassOfMilk45 what no the original theme song is on itunes the city of prague philharmonic

[@TNMEBDlove]

everyones commenting on the guy - but the girl in this movie is absolutely beautiful! not in today's 'have sex with ME' kind of way, but its so natural and graceful, shes gorgeous! and zack efron looks like HIM, not the other way around! just had to stand up for the awesomeness of this movie

[@MissEmziWemzie]

We watched this in English too

[@Shmoopie]

[@toneyneyfa]

The dude's so hot. My god.

[@nrowell0110]

[@lushjason]

@Autostade67 IS THERE A DIFFERNCE IF IT WAS ORTHODOX??I THINK OF ORTODOX AS THE ENDING OF BRAM STOKERS (DRACULA) IT IS VERY RICH IN THE TONES AND BEAUTIFUL TO HEAR!!! MY FATHERS FROM RUSSIA AND HIS OLD ORTHODOX MUSIC IS CALMING AND VERY NICE TO THE EAR!!!THANK YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN IF YOU EVER GET THIS!!!CYNTHIA.

[@yaimrandome]

HE LOOKS LIKE ZAC EFRON' GRAND DADDY >:o

[@mgpoliveira]

@ramalamabangbang09 I will not say that this Efron is a reincarnation of Whiting because they are both still alive. Perhaps two identical emanations of a same being. Who knows?

[@niteloket17]

he is so hot

[@mgpoliveira]

@VALMARIESASK At least you did not comment that Leonard Whiting looks like a Zac Efron.

[@mgpoliveira]

@giorgiamiscia Non è possibile leggere? Ho scritto la descrizione del video che ti piace di Nino Rota, amanti anche loro colonna sonora originale per il film.

[@Silviatube2006]

where is the rest???? only 3 parts?/ solo 3 partes?

[@RafaHatesU]

iis it posible to find this on itunes>?

[@MsRedfield97]

Anyone mind telling me what the hell this dance is called?

[@mgpoliveira]

The music you hear on the video is not from the original soundtrack by Nino Rota. I replaced it with the following. Pietro Paolo Borrono (fl. 1530-40) Pavana la Gombertina From the CD Early Italian Renaissance Music - Harmonia Mundi Paul O´Dette - Lute Read the introduction text for more information.

[@loverosamundkwan]

A beautiful couple then. Whiting is kind of bald now. Aging is an irresistible process.

[@cmhollywood2010]

i kno he look really simialar to Zac

[@ceciliamarchant6182]

Te necesito ,cariño,necesito un descanso,dormir unas horas en una cama,tranquila, en un lugar seguro donde ,limpio,donde pueda bañarme,estirarme,descansar,saber k puedo estar segura,descansando,hace días k no lo hago y mi cuerpo necesita ese descanso,en tu confío,se k contigo estoy Segura,siempre!! Cuánta falta me H aces !!!!

[@AlfredoRomioArtist]

@jfbecks17 Grazie capitan ovvio! Infatti ho detto medievalistica, non medievale.

[@musicstar617]

@BballNintendo I was gonna post the same thing!

[@AlfredoRomioArtist]

Mi sembra una stupidaggine, un'offesa presuntuosa nei confronti del maestro Nino Rota. La sua musica era già molto medievalistica, e poi il suo tocco è impareggiabile, le sue melodie sono immortali e calde, nulla a che fare con i pezzi che hai scelto tu

[@ramoncastro747]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@pendragonU]

She was just barely presented in society that night or allowed to stay late.before she was considered a child,and so the nanny/ama and mother were considering her marriage age upgrading,quite early on those days (and until World War I)

[@Caelea1]

@mgpoliveira i did he does realy

[@lushjason]

IT WOULD BE A DREAM TO LIVE IN THAT PERIOD,NOT GOING INTO YOUR HOUSE AND GETTING CLIPPED BY A DRIVE-BY...OR NO BURNED DOWN HOUSES THAT ARE UNSAFE FOR KIDS THAT WALK BY GOING TO SCHOOL AND NO OIL SPILLS AND WAR ETC.ETC.ETC

[@incinerator327]

wheres the one from moonraker (james bond)?

[@ramoncastro747]

😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

[@ESTER_ROO]

@mgpoliveira or maybe Zac Efron looks like Leonard Whiting

[@edwardnbella96]

Whats the name of the song that guy sings when romeo grabs her hand and kisses her?

[@jfbecks17]

@giorgiamiscia Hai studiato la storia di musica? La musica di Nino Rota non e' medievalistica per niente, solo' e un'imitazione dello stile, nessuno puo' fare musica medievalistica in questo tempo, e' un'arte persa. Questi pezzi sono un'esempio della musica medievalistica reale! E questo pezzo in particolare e' bellissimo.

[@Metalcherrytree]

i hate to sayit, but doesnt the romeo i this movie resemblr zac efron?

[@shin-i-chikozima]

I read various Shakespeare,s works . I think Shakespeare,s works are better playing than reading . This Romeo and Juliet also is better performing than reading ,too . From Tokyo Japan where the old Emperor changed . Which national are you watching this video ？

[@teenforeverxox]

Romeo is so hot;D! Or was

[@somethinggtwo]

how is this more appropriate? lute music was not often for dancing it was played for nobles as entertainment. the music in the movie is fine

[@mgpoliveira]

The music I used in the video is neither original from the movie nor original Shakespaere used in the play... barb7124 I sent an answer to you in your mailbox.

[@tapstar84]

zac efron

[@WastyWouterFTW]

Romeo looks like Frodo

[@edwardnbella96]

@ladybuggs12 wow everyone seems 2 b watching this novel... so am i dud!! haha lolz itz pretty kool nd D guy iz zo hott

[@LMFAOASAP]

@mgpoliveira oh my gosh i know! I f i see another comment saying he looks like Zac Efron I am going to go banana sandwhich on someone....

[@Autostade67]

I was using 'orthodox' in its secular sense to describe the music as following strict compositional rules/tropes characteristic of the Renaissance period; I was in no way making reference to the art, music, liturgy, ritual etc. of the Eastern Church.

[@aisha038]

lol romeo look just lik zac efron no joke

[@ramoncastro747]

😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦

[@T0mFrame]

@krxterm1 lol me 2

[@XxKeyBladeSlayerxX]

[@frankthecat101]

Wow , Zac Efron is some messed up demon who can remain youthful... Evidence? He looked young in this film ;) Hahahhahaha.

[@user-nc9hd9uj1i]

Музыка совершенно не подходит под сюжет фильма. Какое всё же большое значение имеет музыка. Не та мелодия и фильм безлик и бездарен.
