- I dear anyone to listen to this score and NOT be whistling the man theme for the rest of the day. What a beauty. This score, for an incredibly obscure 1969 film called "Picasso Summer" (so obscure I couldn't even find any artwork for it--hence Legrand's mug instead of a poster), was never released in the US tot he ebst of my understanding. But DAMN, what a score! It's available on his official "Summer of '42" album, which interestingly is comprised almost entirely of music from "Picasso Summer" instead of the former. A really superb achievement here. Enjoy. As usual, this is NOT my material, and is posted here strictly for the enjoyment of listeners.
Delighted to include this as music for my 94 year old mother's funeral. She loved this song!
how do you not keep listening to this over and over and over and over and over and over and over
Quel bonheur que ce morceau qui rajeunit les " Jours Heureux ".
Memories of 1970 in Sitka, Alaska. Never to be forgotten as long as I live.
A joyful, energetic piece of music that caught my attention 50 years ago. Just wonderful!!!! It sounds like youthful exuberance, power, and triumph.
The wonders of Michel Legrand his music I always thought came from the heavens above -:France export, I value more than Chanel that’s saying a lot since I live Chanel but Legrand will be remembered four million years from now , the genius , the brilliance of his music , well there are no words just that Legrand is , probably one of the greatest composers that ever lived. Legrand how you are missed.❤️
Totall agree it's awesome. To me 2nd only to Cinema Paradiso. It's a good film. I have it on my dvr....crappy resolution. It's a wealthy guy and his wife all over Europe trying to meet Picasso. One scene actually animates Picasso's War & Peace mural...pretty gutsy.
this ranks as one of all-time favorite pieces of music.
this all was added to the soundrack for Summer of '42. Great stuff.
The movie Picasso Summer came from a short story by Ray Bradbury called In the Season of Calm Weather. Somewhat out of Bradbury's realm of science fiction, but rather a search for Picasso. The scene where the main character played by Albert Finney finds Picasso's drawings in sand on a beach, about to be washed away, is quite powerful.
I first listened to it when I bought my "Summer Of'42" LP back in 1984. I used to play it on, lie down and just dream away thinking of wonderful landscapes. What an incredible power Legrand´s music has. I was able to meet him twice and thank for all the beauty he brought to this world.
Thank you....thank you....thank you for posting this, I've been longing to hear this for ever!! Thank you!
Incredibly beautiful, that you for posting.
Very good, I'm watching this movie right now on TCM
"The Picasso Summer" was one of the feature films that was shelved due to production problems after Warner Bros.-Seven Arts merged with Kinney Communications, and wasn't seen on television until "The C.B.S. Late Movie" in '72.
By the way, the Intrada C.D, contains ALL of the score heard in the feature film (the one heard in this video is from the album presentation).
We're gonna miss you Maestro! Muito triste perdê-lo! RIP!
One word for Michel Legrand =Genius god I miss him , everything he composed turned to gold. He was the masterclass in composition , his music was from heaven , Will never stop missing him , Will always love you Michel❤️
I have all this music on the Summer of '42 soundtrack, vinyl, from 1972, which I still play on my turntable. Hands on, don't need internet to hear it. Great stuff, and no interruptions from internet connections, or lack thereof.
Someone PLEASE upload Peter Nero's rendition from his Midnight Cowboy album. It's the first arrangement of this I ever heard, and it's great, like the rest of them!
Just a word on this "incredibly obscure" film. Picasso Summer was never released in the US due to issues with production, however it starred two of the biggest stars of the era (Albert Finney & Yvette Mimieux) and I personally think it's great!
The film ocassionally gets played, and I've seen it a few times, and it is as moving as the short story by Bradbury. Imagine seeing Picasso's work drawn in sand on a beach and being unable to get to your camera in time.
See my post above.
@@frankstelt I was always blown away by the idea of animating Picasso's War and Peace. Fantastic score btw
Beautiful music
Michel Legrand was born the same month and year as John Williams
@muldenhutten yes but John Williams is an Aquarius and Legrand is a Pisces both genius ‘s.
Never gets Old
I remember watching the film on tv many many years ago, but that single view was enough to fix that melody on my brain forever. Thanks for bringing it back !
the the,e song for movietime 17 on phl 17 from 1978 until 1987 the weekend movie umbrella title back then
I first heard this on the SUMMER OF '42 Soundtrack LP. Fell in love with this back then... and love it even more as I listen to it some 40+ years later. THANK YOU for sharing!!
...a very interesting and enjoyable cult film...the best thing about which is the unforgettable Michel Legrand score...Rest In peace Michel Legrand....
he movie was on late night TV ABC in the early 70s. It was pretty good especially if you like picasso as I do. It had some pictures in the end of Picasso.
Céleste..... en un mot
Slick, agree. Ending was powerful, as it is in the short story. So gratifying to see it portrayed live in the film, not seen enough, nor is it made available.
Le film n'a jamais été édité en DVD en France. En revanche, il a été édité aux États-Unis, en mars 2010, par Warner Archives.
Adoro as músicas desse filme, mas preferia que Summer Song tivesse um post separado.
Je n'arrive pas à trouver la version française de l'été Picasso dont les paroles sont : dans l'été picasso le ciel est pointu, dans l'été picasso le soleil ....
This movie ran on Bravo, back when it was still "Bravo."
Wonderful🎵Legrand🎼🌈🎼💚
Les jours heureux

Kodos to bobbengan, great find of a great song rendition by Legrand. I found the movie by accident,went to YOU TUBE and there was the song Thank you tons.
Bob - Thanks for putting this out there. I bought this album after seeing Summer of 42 in the theaters (Fall, 1971). I love listening to this music, almost daily.
Like you, I bought this album after seeing Summer of ‘42 in the summer of 1971. I would listen to it in the fall of 1971 each morning before going off to junior year in high school. I still have the orange covered record album with Jennifer O’Neill smelling flowers, although I have not listened to it in many years. Hearing this music again takes me back in time to those long ago years of my teens, when like Hermie, I pined for the love of an older woman, but unlike Hermie, my dream was never consummated.
@@frederickrapp5396 Thank you for the comment Frederick.
I too have the album, but need to get a new turntable.
You'll also find versions with lyrics...if you look up "Summer Me, Winter Me" or something to that effect.....
☆♡☆ Great☆♡☆ Michel Legrand ☆☆☆☆☆
This music was swiped for the Chinese kung fu movie, Deep Thrust-- The Hand of Death, back in 1973. Seriously. I doubt Legrand knew about it.
Gerald Martin th
That's where I first heard that beautiful song!! Deep Thrust, the hand of death starring Angela Mao, Chang Yi
The when I saw the Picasso Summer years later, I fell in love with the movie, especially the famous ending with Picasso on the beach w his family, If only Albert Finney turn around to see him!!!!!!lol
That's where I first heard that wonderful melody from the Angela Mao action movie originally called-"Lady Whirlwind". Later on I found out about the Albert Finney film,and really fell in love with that beautiful music theme from the late great Michel Legrand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ironically that's where I first heard that beautiful theme from the Angela Mao classic "Lady Whirlwind"/a.k.a. "Deep Thrust-the Hand Of Death back in 1973! Then later on I found the Picasso Summer film years later, and fell in love with Mr.Legrand's beautiful theme song all over again!
Auteur, Compositeur, Interprète, immortel !
Michel, your music is outstanding ! But please, for God's sake, cut those awfull brushes above your eyes !!
... eyebrows... adds to his character!!!
No it doesn't !
He's got more important musical things to think about. Don't distract him.
No way! That's a trademark from our Armenian heritage!!!
