Subject: RE: How Green Was My Valley (songs)
Who knew I would find this site? I am a fan of the Newman family, but was surprised to find that Alfred Newman only arranged and conducted this non original music. THE SIXPENCE is used in the scenes with Maureen O'Hara and Walter Pigeon, and has always been my favorite piece in the score. I read somewhere that Newman has used that song in other movies, but not definite about that. Hail to the Newmans. If Alfred knew his nephew had written Short People he would be turning over in his grave...or perhaps de-composing.
