  • The Man In The Iron Mask (1998).

    This is the song that plays during the masked ball scene when the two kings are switched, and the Queen Mother is re-united with her long lost son. Composed by Nick Glennie-Smith, this period piece reflects the music of the time, and is said to resemble the works and style of Handel. I loved the song ever since i first saw the film in 1998 and have noticed many requests for the song among the UA-cam community. Enjoy :)

    The Composer is Nick Glennie-Smith. He composed it to resemble the sound of George Frideric Handel.

      Hard to accept that this is only a piece composed for a movie...should be a timeless masterpiece. Its majestic like Händel-alla hornpipe or mussorgsky-the great gate of kiew

      I agree to all comments here. Classic music is in every big Hollywood movie in behind when great emotions shows up.
      Many people say they dont like classic music...but in the most cases they dont realy listen to it..or they dont search for the right componist/pieces. To be honest; like in other music genre, not every componist have pieces u will like..u have to search for it...and u have to listen to classic piece in a Moment of silence..best thing ist to close the eyes that a piece can tell a story. Lets take Pachelbel-Canon in D...or Bach-Air...hard for me to imagine that people exist who say "not my kind of music". A special thanks to "the Simpsons" without this series i miss alot famous masterpieces and maybe I never find the way to the greatest Feeling of all time."Tschaikovski-ouverure 1812(final) is in the first Seasion to hear...but i have to wait a couple of years till i know Komponist and Name of the piece cause u hear it only 2-3 second while Homer watch tv;) So as i found it i listen over and over to the ending of that piece. Same to the second movement from beethovens 9th Sinfonie or mussorgys-the great great of kiew...thank u simpsons

      I agree...i love classic music and i still wondering why this piece isnt only known from the movie. When u like that u also love classic...maybe not all pieces but here some pieces u should listen to:
      Pachelbel-Canon in D / Bach-air/ mussorgsky-the great gate of kiew(from "pictures at an exibition" / Beethoven-9th synfonie(the second movement) Tschaikovski-ouverure 1812(final)
      Smetana-Moldau/ Händel-alla hornpipe(from watermusik) Mozart-hornkonzert 1-3...la nozze di figaro (ouverture) (nearly all pieces from Mozart are amazing)
      Hope u enjoy it and dont forget; listen to classic when u have the time for it...close ur eyes and think about beutiful memories

      princes and princesses ARE real. we just have to be able to see more than meets the eye to recognize them. problem is in our modern world more than ever we have reason to dream and believe. and instead we more quickly than in all the rest of hisory lose those dreams and hopes to villains because through some strange twist of fate evil morals in our modern world have become 'popular.' I cringe at the mention of that very word... 'popular.'

When i would have been born in a diffrent time and i was king...i would choice this piece when i walk to my Castle. This or "Mussorgys-great gate of Kiew" or Händel -alla hornpipe;)

    Actually, France had the largest middle class in the pre-Industrial era. They had the second largest population of all the European states, the largest economy, and the most well-developed cities. Indeed, the concept of the middle class--the bourgeoise, or walled-city-folk--arose in France. And while it is true that the peasants probably did live in filth, it was relatively less filthy than say, a Russian or Austrian peasant.

    This definitely has some similarities to Minuet I.II from Handel's "Royal Fireworks Music". As an interesting side note, this music also appears in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Redemption Part 1". It's when Jonas Quinn is watching the weather channel (immediately after the opening credits).

    Obwohl ich es hasse 2 Jahre alte Kommentare aufzugreifen, muss ich einfach drauf hinweisen, dass zwar durchaus musikalische Verwandtschaft zu Jean-Baptiste Lully besteht, aber dieses Stück unverkennbar die Züge des zweiten Menuetts aus Händels Feuerwerksmusik trägt, obwohl Händel etwas später lebte.
