The screen opening over this deadly building with this soft lalalala, is such a great choice of cut and editing. Saw it when it first appeared on screen in Brussels ca 1969. On of my top movie.
“Rosemary’s Baby” is a rather extreme movie, based on a extreme novel, which deals with the birth of the Antichrist on earth. It opened the gates for more movies of this kind to come, such as “The Exorcist” or “The Omen”. It was the first Hollywood production of the legendary Roman Polanski. It was a natural choice for the director to ask his longtime friend and collaborator Krzysztof Komeda to score “Rosemary’s Baby”. The score ultimately added perfectly to the movie’s atmosphere and was praised by critics. The “Lullaby” became a cult tune itself after its debut in the picture. Sadly, Komeda died shortly after the project at the early age of only 38 years, because of an accident, paired with a series of tragic consequences. This year marks the 50th Anniversary of his passing.
1969 was an "annus horribilis" for Roman Polanski. He lost his friend Komeda but, most of all, his pregnant wife was slaughtered by Charles Manson's followers.
I saw this movie years and years ago, when it came out, long before I was consciously observing the scores. This movie scared the shut out of me and probably still would. The music sounds like it was perfectly written for it. Thank you Fred
The lullaby is not that haunting until those little bits with the synth-harpsichord, which totally pull you out of a reverie. The whole score for the film really sticks with me as incredibly creepy. Komeda was brilliant!
This theme song ranks with the other masterful soft-spoken haunting, despairing aire from the great movie (1962) "Manchurian Candidate" by David Amram. Both are comparably compositions of misery and compassion constructed for their various films. Both sympathetic and horrific, they dramatically communicate a level of deep depravity lurking below an otherwise cloaked amiable contemporary untroubled environment. Great introductory theme music portends the story before the movie reveals all to its viewers. Both movies can be proud to have benefited from such talented musicians.
Glad you picked this one. I got the LP for the various versions of the lullaby and the airy jazz parts (but I never really felt like the witches' coven). It's been very rare on CD but I managed to get it on two different labels which sound mostly the same. Komeda seemed like a coming talent.
Extraordinaria melodía de una de las películas que amo en todo estos años .mia farrow una de mis actrices favorita John Cassavetes. Ruth Gordon , únicos se me cayó un lágrimon 😢 Actriz y escritora
Great soundtrack and it fits the film so well!!. It' s not possible another music in this movie. And It's so scary!!!!. And the movie is, I don' t know how to say It in English... I mean, the picture is like the novel :)
Great film. Ninth Gate, well. The Pianist, a masterpiece. Fearless Vampire Killers could have been a horror classic. One of the best music soundtracks I've ever heard. Check out Michael Lewis' Theatre of Blood (Vincent Price/Diana Rigg) soundtrack! Polanski knows to stay away from comedy. he isn't funny. Pirates? But I love Polanski films.

In my opinion the scariest movie ever

this score always creeps me out.
Also check Christopher Komeda's soundtrack in Cul-de-Sac also Polanski. Not as creepy, but very 'enjoyable' 🙂

Me da nostalgia
This movie is more like a drama instead of scary in my opinion
I wonder what Alfred Hitchcock's reaction to seeing this movie was?
Lalala in the 2nd voice would be amazing

Sooo creepy! The devil movies from the 70's had some great music.
Though this one is actually from around 67-69
So late 60s, not 70s
