Music In "if"

[grendal]

What is the theme music from If. I have it in my mind that it is an African band involving drums but a Latin language vocal. I think it made the charts in the 60s

[dylan]

'Sanctus Chorale' from the Missa Luba, a Conglonese mass performed by Les Troubadours du Roi Baudoin.

Do you mean the "Sanctus" played at the cafe?

It's by Les Troubadours Du Roi Baudouin

sorry for the very late reply, i am a new member to this forum.



many years ago "if" was shown on TV followed by an announcement that the music from the



cafe scene was available as a 45 vinyl single.



this i duly bought and have to this day. a superb film im sure you will agree.



if i remember correctly it had the theme tune from "the master game" (a chess tournament program)



on the "B" side.

Tagging in late to a question (2005) regarding the above, the following may help.

The recording was by Philips 319 929 BF and was called Sanctus Kyre by - as other users have rightly stated - Les Troubadours du Roi Baudouin. I have a 45rpm of this but am looking for a CD. According to the following website - Missa Luba and Congolese Folk Songs by Les Troubadours du Rei Baudouin - the recording has been re-released on CD ........ I have yet to track this down and if anybody does - PLEASE let me know. Thank you.

Hello Katinka



Here are two sites which you will find useful



HMV.co.uk: albums: Missa Luba: Misa Criolla: Misa Flamenca: Includes Dvd (2004)



Decca Music Group - New Release





Decca provide the details of what you want but HMV sell it, they have a great number of stores throughout UK and also deliver. I have never used them myself but as a long standing retailer they should be safe to use.

Thanks that's great - I'm impressed!

I have the original Philips "Misa Luba" vinyl album 33rpm which I bought in the seventies. Like Mick Travis I was in the habit of lining up my record player stylus with the appropriate track! Must dig it out of the loft, it's probably a collectors piece! Great music though.

Everyone remembers Missa Luba in IF... but am I the only person who loves some of the other music in the film, composed by Marc Wilkinson ? Specifically, the scene where Malcolm McDowell and David Wood 'borrow' a motorbike and tear off through the Gloucestershire countryside. In his commentary to the recent DVD release, McDowell draws attention to this music : the first time I've heard anyone do so.
