The soundtrack for the 1968 film Romeo and Juliet was composed and conducted by Nino Rota. It was originally released as a vinyl record, containing nine entries, most notably the song 'What Is a Youth', composed by Nino Rota, written by Eugene Walter and performed by Glen Weston. The music score won a Silver Ribbon award of the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists in 1968[1] and was nominated for two other awards (BAFTA Award for Best Film Music in 1968[2] and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score in 1969).[1]
The soundtrack is referred to as 'Original Soundtrack Recording' on the front cover with further credits to the film itself. Several other editions of the soundtrack feature different covers.
Composition[edit]
The original track list includes anthems, song snatches, compositions for the ball and for a strolling trombone player.[3]
Romeo Juliet Ost Rarity
The neo-Elizabethan ballad 'What Is a Youth' is performed by a troubadour character as part of the diegesis during the Capulets' ball, at which Romeo and Juliet first meet. The original lyrics of 'What Is a Youth' are borrowed from songs in other Shakespearean plays, particularly Twelfth Night and The Merchant of Venice.[4] Although Rota's original manuscript is believed to be lost,[5] the love theme is known to have an original published key of G minor.[6] Romeo's theme was described as 'a slow-paced minor key idea, first played by a solo English horn with strings'.[7] In the scene, where Romeo sees Juliet dancing with her family, the theme is sounded by a solo oboe over a background of tremolo strings.[7]
Reception[edit]
In 1968 Billboard described the score as 'brilliant and moving'.[8] Contemporary feedback was also provided by John Mahoney from The Hollywood Reporter, who described the score as 'one of the best and strongest components', noting that 'a period ballad with lyric by Eugene Walter, 'What Is a Youth', provides the perfect setting for the meeting of the two lovers at the Capulet party'.
Subsequently Professor of English and Shakespearean literature scholar Jill L. Levenson wrote that Rota's score 'heightened the sentiment of the lovers' relationship, doing little for their verisimilitude'.[3] According to a BBC review, 'the suite from Romeo and Juliet is a florid symphony drawing on Rota's classical background for its lush themes – swaggering hunting horn for the amorous swain, mournful lute for the awakening girl'.[9]
On the other hand, critic Jack Jorgens dismissed 'What Is a Youth' for being 'sickly sweet'.[10] On Rate Your Music the soundtrack has a score of 3.89 out of 5, based on 55 ratings as of October 2013.[11]
The Love Theme provides the background to the narrative of Our Tune, a long-standing feature on British radio hosted by Simon Bates.
Arrangements[edit]
Since 1968 numerous arrangements of 'What Is a Youth' have been released, most notably 'A Time for Us' and 'Ai Giochi Addio', both performed by various artists. The soundtrack's original label Capitol Records subsequently released three other soundtrack albums inspired by the original score. The popularity of the first of them led Capitol Records to release a four-record set of the film's entire vocal and music tracks. On June 25, 2002 the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra released their own arrangement of the soundtrack on the Silva America label.[5] Other arrangements were made by André Rieu, Henry Mancini (a top ten hit in 1969), Jet Stream Orchestra, and others. Lana Del Rey's song 'Old Money' from her 2014 album Ultraviolence contains samples from 'What Is a Youth'.

If you think 'Romeo & Juliet' is 20 years old today, you would be dead wrong. The play was first performed 419 years ago. Now, if you think 'Romeo + Juliet' is 20 years old, you would be right. Baz Luhrmann's spectacular retelling of Shakespeare's tale of love and misunderstanding (really, it's just one well-spoken episode of 'Three's Company') hit theatres on this day back in 1996. Once teens had flocked to theatres to see the film, they flocked to the local compact disc store to buy its soundtrack. A classic in its own right, this collection of 13 songs introduced us to lovefools, talk show hosts, and a Quindon Tarver. What's that, you ask? Read on as we revisit that disc that can now be found in bargain bins the world over.

1. '#1 Crush' by Garbage
The song to set the tone of the film with its foreboding refrain, 'I would die for you,' '#1 Crush' was the first of 2 singles from the soundtrack. Its original mix (released as a b-side in 1995) would be remixed by Nellee Hooper and Marius de Vries, both of whom contributed to the film's score. The soundtrack version would go on to be nominated for Best Song from a Movie at the 1997 MTV Movie Awards.
2. 'Local God' by Everclear
Look no further than this track by alt. rockers Everclear as proof of the soundtrack's '90s pedigree. The song was exclusive to the soundtrack, eventually finding its way onto an official Everclear release as a bonus track on the Australian edition of 1997's 'So Much For The Afterglow'. Lyrically the song fits the bill, with the singer pleading, 'Be my Romeo, Please be my voice in this world. I can't sing the songs that you sing, I can't find the gorgeous words. Will you be my Romeo, My go-go Romeo?'
3. 'Angel' by Gavin Friday
The former Virgin Prune is no stranger to soundtracks, having contributed to several and performed the scores for several more. 'Angel' -- his 'Romeo + Juliet' contribution -- would be the first of two contributions to Baz Luhrmann films; the second, used in 2001's 'Moulin Rouge!', would be 'Children of the Revolution', a T.Rex cover performed alongside lifelong friend Bono, longtime collaborator Maurice Seezer, and the Violent Femmes.
4. 'Pretty Piece of Flesh' by One Inch Punch
Fronted by Justin Warfield -- later of darkwave band She Wants Revenge -- One Inch Punch contributed this track during its short lifespan. Warfield would also lend vocals to the film's score on the track, 'The Montague Boys'.
5. 'Kissing You' by Des'ree
Written and recorded for 'Romeo + Juliet', this Des'ree track would serve as the film's love theme. Des'ree herself would appear in the film, performing the song when the titular characters first meet at the Capulets' ball.
6. 'Whatever (I Had A Dream) by Butthole Surfers
A rather aggro take on one of the most famous love stories of all time, 'Whatever' opens with Tybalt's proclamation: 'Peace? I hate the word. As I hate hell, all Montagues,' before alluding to the dialogue between Romeo and Benvolio that precedes the latter's famous 'Queen Mab' soliloquy.
It also contains the immortal words: 'That's it, that's my rhyme, take it to the streets, biatch' -- the origin of which is slightly more contemporary a scribe.
7. 'Lovefool' by The Cardigans
The soundtrack's second single and first of several Swedish contributions, 'Lovefool' would blow up around the world, making stars of The Cardigans and later, eligible for one-hit wonder status despite releasing three well-received albums before featuring on the 'Romeo + Juliet' soundtrack. You can now hear the track in many, many episodes of US, UK, and Australian TV -- most notably on 'Beverly Hills, 90210', with the band playing the song at the West Beverly graduation.
8. 'Young Hearts Run Free' by Kym Mazelle
What would a Shakespearean adaptation be without a little disco? Luckily we need not worry, thanks to this cover of the song made popular by American soul singer Candi Staton in 1976. Bringing it to life in the '90s for Baz Luhrmann would be Kym Mazelle, widely regarded as the pioneer of house music.
9. 'Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)' by Quindon Tarver
If you asked, 'Who is Quindon Tarver?', you're not alone. That was the question from the film studio's bigwigs, who wanted the musical pièce de résistance of 'Romeo + Juliet' -- a dramatic singing of Prince's 'When Doves Cry' -- to involve a marketable star. Instead Luhrmann went with this 14-year-old boy from Texas, who appears as a choirboy in the film. The motif of stylized pop songs
'Everybody's Free' -- again a cover performed a la choir -- would later be sampled for director Luhrmann's popular single, 'Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)'.
10. 'To You I Bestow' by Mundy
Edmond Enright, better known as Mundy, is better known in his native Ireland than the rest of the world, despite this inclusion on the mega-selling soundtrack. This is perhaps because Mundy was dropped by Epic Records shortly after the release of his 1996 debut album, on which non-Luhrmann fans can find 'To You I Bestow'. Since then, Mundy has toured, performed, and guested with some of Europe's notable artists.
Cs go classic mode. As an aside,
11. 'Talk Show Host' by Radiohead
The most anticipated track off the soundtrack, this 1996 b-side from the sessions that produced 'The Bends' would undergo remixing by Nellee Hooper and stand as the first bit of new music many of Radiohead's fans (especially those in North America) heard since the release of the aforementioned 1995 landmark album.
The Radiohead track heard over the film's end credits is the theretofore unheard 'Exit Music (For A Film)'. While the song doesn't show up on the soundtrack, fans could find it a year later on the band's
12. 'Little Star' by Stina Nordenstam
Soundtracks can provide a nascent or obscure artist the chance to reach a larger audience than they could via their own releases. Such was the case with another Stockholm native, Stina Nordenstam. Already something of a hit for the singer, 'Little Star' and its tender delivery would set the stage for the sweetness and energy of the album's final track..
13. 'You And Me Song' by The Wannadies
Closing out the album on a fast and fuzzy note are The Wannadies, another Swedish band who would attain one-hit wonder status in North America. The song, when it was originally released in 1994, would stop at #119 on the UK singles chart. This would be a far cry from the lofty heights it hit when it was re-issued in 1996, breaking into the Top 20.
The song's lyrics and sweet-as-sugar melody closing out the soundtrack is almost enough to think Romeo and Juliet enjoyed a happy Hollywood ending complete with tin cans and a 'Just Married' sign.
