music


whats the music which appears throughout the film and regularly played around around this time of year, christmas

The music is by Prokofiev. The main theme you hear is from "Troika", part of the "Lieutenant Kije" suite.

I noticed that some of the Russian Opera cues were "stolen" by James Horner and used in his scores for Battle Beyond the Stars and Star Trek II during the chase through the Nebula.

Doesn't surprise me because Horner has a penchat for stealing from other composers including himself.
