Georges Delerue ~ Le Grand Choral

Delerue wrote the best film scores! I’ve been listening to him obsessively for the past two weeks on my way to work.

“Le Grand Choral” is taken from François Truffaut’s 1973 film, “La Nuit Américaine.” It was also more recently used in Wes Anderson’s “Fantastic Mr. Fox.” Enjoy!

“People used to stare at fires. Now they watch TV. We need to see moving images, especially after dinner.” — La nuit américaine

La nuit américaine quote

Making a film is like a stagecoach ride in the old west. When you start, you are hoping for a pleasant trip. By the halfway point, you just hope to survive.
