"Stout Hearted Men" Nelson Eddy (New Moon 1940)

[@helenday5031]

I like the way that JUST as the music begins and Nelson starts to sing, it is THEN that the size of the moving group grows in great moving waves of men, like tributaries flowing into a mighty river. And similarly, the great way there are separate streams of singing marching men, separate songs at times even, but moving in unison. Very aesthetically pleasing, the "choreography" AND the music working together!

[@gmvalentine626]

My dad used to sing this around the house when I was a kid.

[@mikegross6107]

I remember watching this in grade school in 1949 or 1950 during an "assembly"! I don't remember any of the movie except this song and I remember it like it was yesterday.

My mom loved Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald. She used to play this on the turntable back in the day. She passed away on Nov. 9, 2019. We all miss her and I wanted to remind myself of her enjoyment of these old classic movies. .

[@tomferguson180]

It's a shame, the comments reflect that so few forget Jeanette and Nelson's movies and their stirring songs from early years of the talkies to the glory days of the glamorous big studios! These memories brought a tear to my eye, especially remembering as a child of ten or so, TV bringing back all their films in festival form! I remember when it was just me, Jeanette, and Nelson, huddled around the warm glow of the cathode ray tube!

[@mikegross6107]

This film was shown in the school auditorium (Philadelphia) when I was about 13 yrs. old (now 80). Even then there were idiots sitting near me who started laughing and bullying those around them who were caught up in the film, poking at and otherwise making it miserable for those of us who not only enjoyed the movie but were getting something out of it. Sometimes I wish it was possible to know what happened to them and what kind of life they have had since then.

I remember hearing the song on a record of famous songs, but associated it with WWI!

[@Gemini730]

Nelson studied voice in Germany and loved Wagner. He perfected a technique produced by the "helden" or heroic sound. Lawrence Tibbett also utilized this method. You seldom hear singers use this technique today. I wish more singers would use this technique-it is very noble and stirring.

You who have dreams, if you act they will come true. To turn your dreams to a fact, it's up to you.

I looked for this song which I sang in 4th grade 1957-58. I thought of it while watching a Forensic Files show in which a man was peeking over his neighbor’s fence and saw him drowning his wife in the pool. Instead of shouting at the guy he just called 911 giving the guy plenty of time to finish killing his wife. I just thought a real man would have at least yelled at the killer and then this song came to mind so I looked for it.

Actually, the song is from "Naugty Marietta" and is reprised at the end of the movie, when the Princess and the Captain go off into the (metaphorical) sunset, riding up into the moutains.

Orchestra Sheet music for this? Anyone?

[@williamwright4836]

Sorry to correct someone below, but "Stout Hearted Men" is most definitely from "New Moon" and not "Naughty Marietta". It actually features in Act I of the original operetta. The movie version includes most of the music but the screenplay (story) is different from the staged version. "Naughty Marietta" has a pirates song called "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" which is also heroic. I have not watched the movie version of "Naughty Marietta", but if it does indeed feature "Stout Hearted Men" it was stolen from Romberg`s musical. Anyway, its splendidly stirring, probably the greatest of all marching songs from the musicals including "Song of the Mounties", "Song of the Vagabonds" etc..

Carl, Where did you learn that she killed herself. Everything that I read says that she had heart trouble complicated by pleurisy and died just before she was to be operated on by famous heart surgeon Dr Michael DeBakey. Nowhere did I find even a hint of suicide and it was reported that her husband was by her side when she died.

A bit off-topic, but there are different types of heart _failure_ ; not all of them are fatal, but can be treated successfully (if not fully _cured_) with medications.

Nelson Eddy was tragically under-utilized in Hollywood.

[@kerryincolumbus]

The reason why is because he was a rotten, wooden actor.. he had very little emotion or the ability to fully emote when on film, except when he sang, he felt more comfortable singing than acting and it shows.

Jeanette died of heart complications 8 years before Nelson Eddy died, so no tragedy there. I suspect that they did love one another very much but as very close friends, which appears to be a concept that few people can grasp. Jeanette was still with her husband when she died. Nelson was nearby by choice because she was very ill. They probably did love one another but couldn't live together. Artistic temperament perhaps or just plain old common sense.
