As a kid in the late 50s and 60s, this was the first music I became hooked on. I remember buying the trio of LP records that contained the entire soundtrack for all episodes of the show. Listening to this now, the intervening years fall away.
After a visit to Salzburg, Austria, where I heard the "Sound of Music", I looked up the composer of the music - Richard Rodgers. As a Baby Boomer I saw/heard a lot of "Victory at Sea" at home. I had a vague recollection of my Mom saying that the music was composed by Richard Rodgers -- Bingo! These two musical pieces are musical siblings! Lots of tunes here, so familiar after many decades! Lots of tangos here too!
My dad did the series as a cameraman and he introduced me to the Music I loved it Imagining how WW2 was listen to the Music. My dads orders were to go to Japan as a naval photographer he would not return. Then they dropped the bomb. I went to Pearl Harbor in 1967 with my Mom and Dad was doing the Pilot for Hawaii 5 -0. It was quite a History. 😇😇😇😇😇👃👃👃👃 Love you Daddy and miss you Mommy!!!!
Richard Rogers was a master, when we first saw this great series in the uk 1954 I was 12 years old, I haven’t heard the music for 68 years until now 2022; and I can remember nearly all of it, and I’m buying it. No wonder Lloyd Weber thinks Rogers was one of the greatest.
Also, Rogers wrote the sketches of the themes and then composer Robert Russell Bennett fleshed out and arranged the themes to what you hear now. It really was a collaboration. If I was to criticize this wonderful music, and I don't like to do that because I like it so much, it's only that at times the music is so pleasant and beautiful that it sounds like the Second World War was a "great place to take a vacation" (Beneath the southern cross, theme of the fast carriers, etc).
I loved your reply although I liked the song No Other Love, as it was a number one hit in the UK by a English singer called Ronnie Hilton. The music Victory at Sea had much light and shade, anyway it’s wonderful music.
I remember laying on the living room floor, watching when the series first aired on Sunday afternoons. Especially like the "Beneath the Southern Cross" part. "No Other Love Have I."
The Submarines in those shows intrigued me and I volunteered for Subs while I Quartermaster school - on a nuclear Fast Attack boat - everything I hoped it would be!
My Dad was singing that while working in his garage once. That was when I made the connection between it being a 'song' and also a part of Victory at Sea.
@Raymond Dadal ~ That Opening with 'Beneath the Southern Cross' in 'No Other Love Have I' is heart/gut wrenchingly Glorious and Beautiful which makes all of US Patriots Weep ... Richard Rodger's went 'Over the Top' in this astonishing Score & which I have had great pleasure playing numerous times loving every moment of all the Score and 'following my bliss' playing this heavenly composed with Love for America during WWII Music by a Great Patriot, Richard Rodger's, who should have won 10 Academy Awards for his 'Victory at Sea' Score which perfectly plus captured the Times and Era-Aroma of Americans doing all they could to help the War Effort here on American Soil and all our Troops giving Everything and More to protect our Great Nation. We Musn't let all our Heroes/Heroines Down Now. We must listen, collectively, to this Greatest Score of WWII to re-feed the Spirits of so many depressed American's at this time ~ November 27th, 2022 ... This Score can only but Help Lift us all UP to bring back the Spirit of Winning WWII & this time, perhaps, somewhat in our own 'House' ... em Ref: www.facebook. com/elisabeth.anne.775?fref=nf (November 27, 2022) Do write back!
I so enjoyed co-leading the Violins in 'Home Alone II: Lost in New York' in 1992, when being filmed playing onstage @Carnegie Hall, as Carnegie Hall Christmas Orchestra, not conducted by glorious Film Composer, John Williams, then, but a superb orchestra Twentieth Century Fox filmed for a 'Christmas Movie' which none of us had any idea would become so popular with all audiences world-wide & seems a Holiday Classic during the Thanksgiving/Christmas Holiday Season on into New Years!! John Williams Score is especially beautiful with Choir singing when Kevin, (played by Macauley Calkin) looks out onto a starry NYC night hearing all magical voices of this achingly beautiful John Williams sound-alike Children's Choir ... A musician all my life & daughter of also Film Composer, I appreciate the beauty of this segment & of our own Music as performed during the Orchestra Scene with Kevin & 'Bird Lady' friend who takes him to CH to hear us & they have a good 'natter (UK English for Talk!) in the CH Attic/Rafters speaking of Greats of the Past who performed in Carnegie: Ellington, Sinatra & Luciano Pavarotti, and I was saddened they didn't script in my GOAT Violinist Mentor, *Jascha Heifetz, who made Carnegie Hall more Famous in his American Debut October 27, 1917, playing the Violin as No Other in the History of Great Violin Playing!! If some of us had known of dialogue, we might've been able to intervene with *Heifetz mentioned ... Thank You's to those who may read this! Our Movie seems to bring much Joy to many & certainly Now, when we're all in such deepest need of 'Happy' & Joy ~ Elisabeth Matesky (Ref: facebook.com/elisabeth.anne.775?fref=nf *Photo FB Top of EAM (Elisabeth Anne Matesky FB page) w/*Potus Carter, The White House) Posting, 27.11. 2022 Thanksgiving Weekend, Sunday Evening ~ Elisabeth 'M' ~ EAM/US FB Only
Richard Rodgers' has been America's Ludwig van Beethoven in musical composition with an astonishing number of unsurpassed beautiful songs and melodies. He did a beautiful composition with Victory At Sea, and the best recording has been this Telarc recording, which brings clarity and so much of the dynamic range of this music to the final sound.
@TDT ARHPG ~ I happened on here and Love the 'Victory at Sea' full score of Richard Rodger's which I fell in love with upon first hearing and seeing the score w/video of an Opening of the Television Series, "Victory at Sea" decades ago! Also having the Joy of performing this Grand Score which is really a Symphony of WWII, I love the unique brilliance and Rodger's 'capture' of the many sentiments of WWII GI's and of all our then committed to winning WWII Americans in Battle and at Home doing their level best to help the War Effort! My GOAT Violinist Mentor, Jascha Heifetz, did his own level "Best" becoming a Member of the US Army as Private 1st Class, Jascha Heifetz, playing well over 400 Violin Recitals with his Pianist throughout parts of Europe; North Africa, and throughout the entire South Pacific in the most dangerousTheatre's of War, despite Orders from 'Oh High' from General Mac Arthur to Heifetz, to not go to the most dangerous Theatre's of War, yet Heifetz being Heifetz, did so once offering his entire Violin Recital Concert for One GI so wounded he hobbled with a Stick to Hear the Great Jascha Heifetz, who saluted him, playing his entire Violin Recital Programme for the lone Soldier, who wept and Heifetz w/Pianist gave him food and a Lift to the nearest Army Hospital to help the young man. This is but one of the numerous unknown Deeds of Love and Caring of the Greatest Violinist of All Time, Jascha Heifetz, during WWII. When I hear the 'Victory at Sea' score, I weep like a Baby who cries for its Momma in the middle of the night. The American Navy was Beyond Heroic and fought like Titan's in the South Pacific when it Mattered, like Tiger's ... Yes, dear TDT ARHPG, you got this one 'Right', re Richard Rodger's being America's Ludwig van Beethoven in musical composition during WWII and Then Some!

What often is overlooked in Rodgers hits is how important a role Robert Russell Bennett played in their success. Rodgers sadly did not give that genius enough credit, assuming financial compensation was enough.
HOLA HARU. EL SOUNDTRACK ES ESPECTACULAR, Y NO MENOS EL SONIDO PERFECTO DE LA ORQUESTA CINCINNATI CONDUCIDA POR ERIC KUNZEL UN PLACER ENORME DISFRUTAR DE ESTA HERMOSA MUSICA DE PELICULAS. GRACIAS. BRAVO!!!. MUY BUENO.-
15:22 esse trecho foi muito importante para TV brasileira essa música Tocou nos últimos minutos da Rede Tupi durante a vigília dos Funcionários ocorrido no dia 18 de julho de 1980 no auditório da Tupi na Urca no Rio de Janeiro. Que determinou a cassação da emissora.

15:22 esse trecho foi muito importante para TV brasileira essa música Tocou nos últimos minutos da Rede Tupi durante a vigília dos Funcionários ocorrido no dia 18 de julho de 1980 no auditório da Tupi na Urca no Rio de Janeiro.

Grandiose !!
Finally, these majestic sounds were made unmortal by Maggie Simpson.
Eu vim lembrando da vigília da Rede Tupi.
