Beautiful Burt Bacharach - thanks for the joy of your music! I saw this movie when I was 7 years old and never forgot it, especially this song. So wonderful to see him rehearsing with the children. What incredible joy he brought to his work - no wonder all his songs continue to make people happy decades on. RIP BB
I loved loved loved loved watching him conduct. So passionate. So generous. I’m grateful to my parents for having his music on constantly when I was a child. I was 13 when LH was out. I loved it then and love it now. The critics never swayed me. I know it’s not perfect. I love it for what it is. And isn’t.
Quedé atrapado en el amor por la música de Burt Bacharach, desde el primer instante que la escuché. En especial, la música de esta maravillosa película me trae muchísimos recuerdos de mi infancia. Bella, llena de mensajes positivos y extraordinariamente detonadora de sensaciones. Amo la música de Burt Bacharach y siempre lo haré. Descanse en paz el gran maestro que llenó el mundo con su incomparable talento. El compositor con pinta de galán de cine.
The choir girl in 2:03 is Susan Cowsill of the Cowsills, the American singing group from Newport, Rhode Island, six siblings noted for performing professionally and singing harmonies at an early age, later with their mother.
From the moment I watched 'Lost Horizon' with the children singing this beautiful song I knew I would always love it and go back to the movie throughout my adult life too.
My name is Diana Lee and I’m retired from a busy and blessed studio singing career, a highlight of which was singing this wonderful song for the actress Liv Ullman, along with her other songs in the film. Burt and Hal were treasures to work with and fully supported me, same with Ms. Ullmann. Great memories, from 1972.
The dubbing for both Ullmann and Finch is spot on and beautiful. Lost Horizon came out at a time when "old Hollywood" was being rejected by critics for the new edgy era of filmmaking that EASY RIDER ushered in. Non the less, it's a lavish film, handsomely crafted with a wonderful score. The music is what I like best about LH. The film has legs.
@@cscarson8798 Thanks! It was a wonderful experience. And for the record….Finch was dubbed by my ex husband, Jerry Whitman and I agree, he did an awesome job, approached it the way an actor-singer would, so it was very believable. I loved the duet, I Might Frighten Her Away and how it was filmed.
Truly Blessed you are! We are all blessed to walk the planet during Burt's tenure. Thanks for sharing your voice for everyone to enjoy. Such an uplifting song and movie. One can only feel good listening to this and watching the movie. Something that WOEFULLY missing today.
Many of his songs were very complicated. My favorite Anyone Who Had A Heart is a very difficult song to sing- even Kelly Clarkson turned it down when she was competing on Idol.
I’m doing the same on piano, and you’re absolutely right. If you haven’t done so, check out his title track for after the fox. On the surface, it seems like a silly, frothy cartoon song. But there are equally amazing chord changes, with an unusual modulation from the verse to the chorus. and Bacharach’s genius makes it work perfectly.
@@cameronladd1788 Hi, Cameron. I have been listening to 'After The Fox. I am 65 years old and had never heard of it or the theme tune! What a fascinating and quirky piece of music! At 15 sec. and again later, I particularly like the A minor chord going to the F seventh chord, with an added 9th - and possibly something else as well...? Wonderful stuff!
@@debbiebrett6689 at first, I thought it was may be a bit too quirky, but then it grew on me. I have to go out on the road for a while, but maybe when I get a chance, I’ll send you the chord progressions as I hear it. Very original and effective.
Like all Burt Bacharach songs, it is full of weird chromatics (Eb - Cb - Gm - Fm - G7) tough skips (perfect 4th from "No-Bod-y Knows). No one ever claimed Burt wrote easy songs for singers, but they were great to listen to,
@@cscarson8798 He even talks about that in his videos. He points out how he made Dionne Warwick jump an octave and a 4th in one of his songs. He writes (wrote) music the way piano players write music, not the way singers write music. With all of that being said, I LOVE his music.

Yea, Americans were to enamored with garbage like The Exorcist, The Day of the Jackal, Badlands, Serpico and Magnum Force. Lost Horizon was too uplifting for us.
This clip actually appeared on a tv special in the early seventies. I saw it then as a child and wished I could've been one of the children that got to be there. As usual with folks in my age bracket, our thing to say now is "I remember it like yesterday". I really do, though.
There was a TV Show, that I watched in my childhood that was "Bacharach form Shangri-La" or something like that. I would love to see it again. Anyone knows about that show? I remember the fifth dimension was on it, and Bobby Van.
That girl in red at the right really got what he was looking for... you could see she felt the whole song I really hope she went on for a future in music 🤞 anyone know if she did?
This song can’t simply be categorized as “children’s music,” though it does fit that bill. The magical chromatic melody, those varying-length melodic lines over sophisticated chord progressions, it's all triumphantly BACHARACH. And kudos to Hal David for his lyrics about circles, reverse impressions,, yin/yang, and so on. And what an unexpected treat to see that Bacharach is being interviewed by Rex Harrison! Now I’m hearing “why can’t English teach their children how to speak…”
Wait! Burt! Burt!!! How did these African American folks get into shangri-la?? Are they the cleanup crew? There were none living there from what I could see.
This was the project that killed the Bacharach/David partnership - and it wasn’t even that good. But cracks in the seemingly impenetrable foundation had been been forming for years, dating back to “Promises, Promises “. It was such a loss.
What are you smoking? it's a 180 degree opposite and wonderful with the with the in studio girls. You have some bazarre social hang up thing going on. How old are you? Robert at 69.
@@bobmalack481 Sorry, bub, I need a translator. If you're trying to say something I'd try and make it a little clearer.

What does my age have to do with the price of kumquats? Let's just say this: Older than you. And since Bacharach praised to the skies a little project I did involving him, well, you know...

It has been an honor to have lived on the planet at the same time as this man.
His score for LOST HORIZON is one of his finest.
BB WAS THE 3ND ¡¡¡¿¿¿¿
OMG. Those kids were so lucky to be part of his genius and create such beauty.

I saw that movie and I remember that song with the kids singing. The world is a circle without a beginning and nobody knows where it really ends.
Burt Bacharach was so patient with the children and motivated them so they sounded so natural !!❤❤❤

Such a beautiful song for children and everything is so true! Love the way Burt talked to the children, his voice so soft and kind.
Wow! Amazing! He was really wonderful when working with children and truly passionate about his song.
Música maravilhosa de um filme belíssimo. A genialidade de Burt Bacharach e Hal David!!!
Rest in peace Burt
A difficult song. But Burt was so patient and passionate.The kids seemed to be having the time of their lives listening to the maestro ❤
Many of his songs were very complicated. My favorite Anyone Who Had A Heart is a very difficult song to sing- even Kelly Clarkson turned it down when she was competing on Idol.
De pronto llega un compositor y barre con todos los demás. Ese fue Burt Bacharach
We are truly blessed to witness this man create such beautiful songs that compel us to reach for the stars from just 13 notes.
Resting in a comfortable cloud in heaven, feel my love to you Burt..❤
I' ve just finished working this out on my guitar. What wonderful chord progressions!

@@cameronladd1788 We are obviously both musicians!
That was just perfect 😍
We're looking for the same things now that we were looking for then...
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍I can't like this enough!👍👍👍👍
It shows Bacharach at his happiest.
Beautiful, wonderful, heartwarming song, like the whole soundtrack and movie.

You are correct. His songs can be extremely hard to sing in the way the notes jump all over the place.

Burt Bacharach was Magic.
RIP The Music is Great.
But, the film Bombed.
Only in America was it not appreciated. It made lots of money overseas in its foreign markets.
@@cscarson8798 maybe back then they were not ready for it.
This song i.e, should be heard by those who are bullied. To raise their self-esteem.
@@malucouttolenc3345 Bullies Bully other people because they see in the other person the thing they can't recognize in themselves that they don't like.
@@cscarson8798 Indeed

GREAT BURT!!!!.... MISS HIM..❤
His music lives on
The frequently changing tempo and keys are pure Bacharach. It's a difficult song for these reasons but these kids nailed it.
Very lucky kids!

Glad you liked it.
Oh, thank YOU for posting it. It reminds me that I wasn't always a crabby old broad! I used to be a kid.
one regret i always had was never getting to meet Burt
There was a TV Show, that I watched in my childhood that was "Bacharach form Shangri-La" or something like that. I would love to see it again. Anyone knows about that show? I remember the fifth dimension was on it, and Bobby Van.
Nicholas Lyndhurst (Rodney/Dave) in 'Only Fools and Horses', is the blonde kid in front with blue jumper.
Those kids looked so eager to please Mr Bacharach
Yes, they did.
Is this from the "Burt Bacharach in Shangri-La" TV special?
No, it's from a special he did before filming of the movie.
That girl in red at the right really got what he was looking for... you could see she felt the whole song I really hope she went on for a future in music 🤞 anyone know if she did?
And also the young man who started off in solo at the beginning. I hope he pursued a music career, too!

I've heard it sung as a non-children's song ruclips.net/video/QgdwU4e4eQY/видео.html
Rex Harrison
Magic !!
I love this song, I love Burt but I HATE these staged and rehearsed "off the cuff" videos - he doesn't come off well in these videos.
