hi, TMP.
go to Wikipedia.org and read the article called "de brevitatis vitae" or
"gaudeamus igitur".
try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaudeamus_igitur .
it has the lyrics in Latin and English and an external link to an mp3 file.
i didn't realize it when i read it, but i think the song is listed as Gaudeamus
igitur on the TCM website under music for A Song is Born.
by the way, would you happen to know the name of the tune Benny Goodman (as
Prof. Magenbruch) plays just after he says he's never heard of Benny Goodman?
thanks!

Would anyone happen to know the name of the musical piece that Danny Kaye has engraved inside the engagement ring he gives to Virginia Mayo? Seem to recall that the lyrics, (which are not engraved inside, but he recites to Mayo) are quite beautiful and romantic. Thanks.
shareYa know I used too....I think it is either a quote from "The Trojans" by Hector Berlioz, or Gluck's "Paris and Helen"....
Will have to re-watch it, not like thats ever a problem....

Would anyone happen to know the name of the musical piece that Danny Kaye has engraved inside the engagement ring he gives to Virginia Mayo?Not sure if you're still looking for this, but (according to the movie) it's the opening phrase of an aria from the opera Paris and Helen.
Oh thou belovedHope that helps!
Whom so long my heart desires.
When will the day e'er be
That my heart thou doth bless
With a softly whispered yes?
I like that quote as well.
