Thread Name: Folk Songs In Movie Soundtracks
Subject: RE: Folk Songs In Movie Soundtracks
Just watched the German film "Schultze Gets the Blues" -- early in the film (when Schultze is retiring from working in the mines) he's serenaded with a salt mining folk song -- and I'd like t know more about it. Is it authentic? Where can I get a recording, words, etc.?

The last piece of music in the film is a brass band playing a tune that seems very familiar. It's similar to George Ward's river song (can't remember the title) about "if it doesn't lift your spirits it will leave you numb".

Anybody know anything about the soundtrack?
