Hes gone on to write a lot of fantastic music for motion pictures. Vertical Limit, The Sixth Sense, The Village, Lady in the Water, the list goes on. I think John Williams pretty much bogarted the coveted role as "the worlds film composer", but there are plenty of other good composers out there.
Saw this film when it came out in 1990 ( I was just fresh out of Secondary School ), and the ' He sleeps ' scene, literally blew me away, and I added ' LEARN THE PIANO ' to my bucket list, and a few years later ( 2016 ) I finally took up lessons, and still at it, despite the distractions and difficulties . I will probably look up the film again. Yes, music ticks all the boxes that words cannot tick. Just me, thinking aloud.
He has been around more that 50 years ....he arranged music for many so called famous artist like ELTON JOHN... Good music does not get played on radio or tv...perhaps that might be the reason why he not known by many ...that will change.
John Williams, James Newton Howard, Hans Zimmer, Alan Sylvestri, Michael Giacchino, James Horner, John Powell, Bear McCreary. The list goes on for making movies so beautiful..
listening to this and remembering all the wonderful memories i have as a child with my lovely parents and brother.. i miss them so much. love to all xx
Same here. Watching Pretty Woman for about the 30th time. When this song came on, turned on my phone THANKS SHAZAM!!! 32 years and I have finally found it. I am not lying when I say I can die a happy man.
This is the only piece of music that has no words that can illicit emotion from me. It is a stunning piece and emotion provoking. Just lovely. Thank you.
I dont know why but for some reason this theme makes me cry .Even if doesn't have words .It makes me feel so loneley. 😂Well as a matter of fact it is because i'm so lonely .I live by myself with no one around me 😢
@@JoseMorales-ym1ru same here I live by myself, and I’m very lonely, but I love listening to beautiful music like this song from pretty woman makes me happy, however, I start to think how lovely it would be to be able to hold somebody in my arms
The most heartwarming theme, doesn’t get the recognition it deserves! Wish I could buy this live track as a digital recording and the sheet music straight from Newman himself.
My best Rosie passed away 3 years ago, and everytime I hear this music, I think of her. I think of friendship and trust, and how that lives on in my memories and heart. I'll see you someday my friend..
I just lost a good friend from high school 3 days ago who battled cancer. I hadn't seen her in these last 40 years now, but her impression on me is exactly what this music speaks. She was also a talented flute player in our school orchestra. Miss u so much Michelle 😢.
When I was a teenager I met a beautiful young lady but being a stupid fool I didn’t appreciate what I had and I ended things but I never really stopped thinking of her but she moved on and met and married another man and this was a favourite film of theirs then the lady in question and I had a chance meeting some 10 years after we’d split up and I told her I’d always regretted ending our relationship all those years before and to my joy she told me that I had always been the one she’d wanted . That was 31 years ago and we’ve been married now for 28 years and as happy as ever but whenever I hear this amazing piece of music I always think about those 10 years I lost with her , For my Mary x
My 4 month old baby goes to sleep to this every night it works like a charm every time. I always loved this piece it warms my heart to see my baby girl does as well.
I walked down the aisle to this song 11/10/24. I have always loved this, It reaches my soul when I hear this absolutely beautiful piece of music. Thank you for creating it and for me to have this as I walk down the aisle was something magical 💕
This was in Prague, I feel like Prague has some great musicians, most other classical orchestras aren't so comfortable playing film music but the Prague Philharmonic plays almost as well as any orchestra in Los Angeles or London.
Not even three minutes ... so brief. Yet so rich, it feels so much more. A joy for the senses. Julia Roberts and Richard Gere were magical. And this piece ... and "Fallen" gave their scenes the emotional heft that made the movie soar and endure almost 35 years on. And will continue to be loved by millions for the memories it evokes.
When I lived in hollywoof from 1985-1997,those were the best party days.But everything changed when a friend told me Richard Gere and Julia Roberts were filming in his building were vivian lived.This movie makes it better for me because i know every part of the movie,I LOVE THIS SONG,MAKES MY HEART YEARN FOR LOVE.
Finding this video is such a pleasant surprise. I have always loved this melody but was never able to find a version of it without the voices from the film clip until now. It's beautiful.
In the past I have seen this Movie several times with my first Great love. And I have looked for this Melodie many Years and never found. Today I have found and it really bring me back some emotions.
Great and sweet melody that caresse your deeper feelings ! When the movie came out, i bought the CD Pretty Woman OST, but « he sleeps » wasn’t in it. The only way to listen It was to buy the VHS and then i could sleep...
Hay temas que te hacen sentir, te emociona, vibras, lloras, la música se siente, y éste tema es increíble, hace que me transporte, olvido todo y solo siento
I just lost my sweet brother, and when I typed in his name to youtube this song came up. He was only 63 and died at the hands of a VA hospital. He served 8 years in the US Navy. He was my Richard Gere when we were young, and he was in the Navy.
WOW. Concert performances of a piece of film music pretty much always sound different from the original as heard in the film for various legit reasons - even with the composer conducting. THIS, however, good Lord. A perfect recreation! So much so I'm wondering if it is the original track layered with the video. Clearly, it's not. And it's a gift. I've been waiting for this sans kissing sounds etc. for 33 years! ❤

Lovely Music❤❤❤
I don't know why this guy isn't more well known. His music really made Pretty Woman special...

@@kadejito1 Peter Pan 2003 and King Kong 2005
I'm Belgian and I know his music as well as I know Hans Zimmer's.
When simple music like this makes you cry you know it is music 🎼
John Williams, James Newton Howard, Hans Zimmer, Alan Sylvestri, Michael Giacchino, James Horner, John Powell, Bear McCreary. The list goes on for making movies so beautiful..
Goodness -- don't forget the best of all: Jerry Goldsmith. (Or John Barry, Bernard Herrmann, and Basil Poledouris either.)
Without thismusic the World would be poorer. Thank you. It really touch my heart
To hear an orchestra play this. Piano gets me every time.
listening to this and remembering all the wonderful memories i have as a child with my lovely parents and brother.. i miss them so much. love to all xx
It's probably the best ever instrument ever written and produced. My morning alarm clock. I searched for this for years. It's simpy beautiful.
you can see that the musicians in the orchestra truly "feel" this piece - well played by them.
The nicest version of this song I have ever heard.
Have looked for this piece for years only to find it tonight. Brings back so many memories. Beautiful, James Newton Howard and orchestra.
Same here. Watching Pretty Woman for about the 30th time. When this song came on, turned on my phone THANKS SHAZAM!!! 32 years and I have finally found it. I am not lying when I say I can die a happy man.
Same here. It always stuck with me❤❤❤
This is the only piece of music that has no words that can illicit emotion from me. It is a stunning piece and emotion provoking. Just lovely. Thank you.
Agreed. In my opinion that’s what music is supposed to do
I mean, you've got a world of non-lyric music awaiting to move you if this had an effect on you.
The craziest thing is that he actually wrote the music BEFORE he even saw the movie!!! This guy is totally brilliant...
I dont know why but for some reason this theme makes me cry
.Even if doesn't have words .It makes me feel so loneley. 😂Well as a matter of fact it is because i'm so lonely .I live by myself with no one around me 😢

Probably the best movie love song.
Really want this as my wedding walking down the aisle song xxx
So beautiful…to me, this song embodies what falling in love feels like 😍🥹
One of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard. Always loved it!!❤❤❤
When the violins really kick in it hits HARD
The most heartwarming theme, doesn’t get the recognition it deserves! Wish I could buy this live track as a digital recording and the sheet music straight from Newman himself.
pull it down for yourself off the web
How could you say that it doesn’t get recognition?
Beautiful and proud to have finally found this version ❤
My best Rosie passed away 3 years ago, and everytime I hear this music, I think of her. I think of friendship and trust, and how that lives on in my memories and heart. I'll see you someday my friend..

ONE OF THE LEGENDARY COMPOSER OF OUR ERA.
I agree, he is a spiritual successor to Jerry Goldsmith
This is so beautiful
I just lost a good friend from high school 3 days ago who battled cancer. I hadn't seen her in these last 40 years now, but her impression on me is exactly what this music speaks. She was also a talented flute player in our school orchestra. Miss u so much Michelle 😢.

Das geht ganz tief ins Herz 😢

This is so beautiful 😭
No puedo parar de oirla. Llevo años buscandola.
Esta melodía atraviesa mi alma.
Gracias, es magia para mis oídos
I walked down the aisle to this song 7 years ago ❤
That’s what I have always dreamed of first time I heard this music
I bet it was magical ❤
I wish this score was released or made it to the film's soundtrack; it really is quite beautiful.
Ogni volta è una stretta al cuore...ascoltavo questo brano nel film quando ancora credevo ed aspettavo un amore così....
It’s soothing in it essence, healing in it composition.
This melody is life affirming; the one reason Pretty woman will endure through the ages.
Most Underrated Composer....😟
Absolute beauty
Finding this video is such a pleasant surprise. I have always loved this melody but was never able to find a version of it without the voices from the film clip until now. It's beautiful.
UA-cam didn’t recommend this song, you searched for it.
I searched for it so heard after watching pretty woman😢
I searched for it again after watching pretty woman
Musica meravigliosa...nn ti stanchi mai ad ascoltarla...di una dolcezza struggente....commovente e bella.. molto bella....
Amazingly warm and endearing
First time seeing him conducting, so great
Brilliant.
JNH’s “Dying Young” soundtrack is a masterpiece!
❤❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful. ❤️
In the past I have seen this Movie several times with my first Great love. And I have looked for this Melodie many Years and never found. Today I have found and it really bring me back some emotions.

Thank you. One of the most stirring scenes in the movie
Hay temas que te hacen sentir, te emociona, vibras, lloras, la música se siente, y éste tema es increíble, hace que me transporte, olvido todo y solo siento
Me pasa exactamente lo mismo.
Atraviesa el alma, es imposible explicar con palabras, solo lo sentis.
Back some years ago 2017...sitting in the concert hall(without masks!!!) in Mannheim and Frankfurt...I will never forget!!!
It’s stunning
La magia dell' orchestra Stupenda 🥰🥰🥰 Grazie
So rare to see footage of JNH conducting, he doesn't usually conduct much
beautiful!
We had this played on harp at our wedding. Beautiful.
Questa musica è di un bellezza ultraterrena. Solo un grande artista poteva realizzare una melodia così magica e stupefacente.
Einfach wunderbar
This piece always brings me to tears absolutely beautiful
my favorite orchestrated piece 💙💜x o
however, it is nothing without the piano.
I have looked for this version EVERYWHERE! So glad to have found this masterpiece. Absolutely beautiful. Thank-you❤
Chills 😮
Magnífico ! ! ! No sabía de la existencia de este video, con JNH como director
I just lost my sweet brother, and when I typed in his name to youtube this song came up. He was only 63 and died at the hands of a VA hospital. He served 8 years in the US Navy. He was my Richard Gere when we were young, and he was in the Navy.
Top Class. Thanks for posting x

Or is it the original performance from the film? I'm second guessing reality now. 😂
