All I know is, I heard this piece after watching Badlands which I freakin' love. I have no enthusiasm nor do I have time to do an online research on the scale, chord, or whatever musical origins of this piece is just to prove to someone's youtube comment that my comment is "more" right. peace.
This has a "dreamier" feel to it than the album version.
I find the movie and the music hypnotic and addictive. There are a lot of strange messages in Badlands, some repeat often. I put it on just to listen to when building stuff or working on my house. An odd, beautiful movie from an odd, beautiful time in this country.
@mma4life23 sort of. It's an homage. Listen to the two, one after the other and you can spot differences. What makes them sound similar are the marimbas.
hi, thanks for your email. not sure who did it but it was an instrumental pop song, around the 60's - 70's. heard it quite a few times on the radio. if i find out any more, could let you know if you like.
During the late 60's early 70's, I went to the cinema alone quite often. I saw quite a few films "by accident" as it were, as I'd gone to see the "support feature" that was on with the main film. They did that in those days, 2 films for your money. Get Carter, Kes and this were all discovered purely by chance. This piece of music haunted me for years as I couldn't recall it's title and everyone I asked looked at me blank when I told them it was from Badlands. Now I have it on CD. Superb.
i'm a kindred spirit and did much the same thing then, saw the same films and was a bit of a lost spirit in those days. there was also a pop song out about then called 'victorian serenade'. looked for on youtube but cant find it.
this wonderful piece of music is as addictive as The music for a found harmonium by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Luckily I found the Orff-CD and I'm playing it daily.
@jeanny1952, hi Jeanny, nah, I took your suggestion and listened to Found Harmonium, and didn't find it nearly as ethereal as Gassenhauer, interesting but a tiny bit grating when listened to more than once, you and I were born in the same year, its been a long life, and for me much of it difficult...............G
this movie for me is the best just many things rolled into one martin sheen and sissy great actors , true filmaking 10/10 , and dont forget warren oates.
I saw this, once, when I was about fifteen and some thirty years later it is still in my head. There is something so understated in the direction, the photography and the acting that strips into your very soul. I defy anyone not to be moved in so many ways by this true work of art.
Well, technically Zimmer didn't exactly 'rip this off', True Romance is in general sort of a homage to Badlands, along with the voiceover and overall story.
@Mindtage are you referring to hans zimmer? because he ripped this off.... this is years before true romance and carl orff is hundreds of years before both hahaha
@blaiserfilms Um, no. Carl Orff was alive and well when Badlands was released. He lived from 1895-1982. Not all classical music is from the 17th century.
@SIRSMITH08 Damn, my post went missing. Not sure if you are being a little sarcastic (in a lollable way I'm sure) but the title of the music is Music Poetica by Carl Orff, sometimes referred to as Gassanhauer which is German for 'popular song'. It''s a stunning piece which is why I'm sure so many of us search for it in its various versions.
@Maxshard no i wasnt being sarcastic , just agreeing with you ,im ok with being wrong ,i just want the facts and as u pointed out the end credits are misleading i worship those who take time to find out the facts , its a great piece of music that stays with u once heard ,ive been after it for ages, shame on james taylor ,as the credits tell us theme migration by JT ,so u look at JT albums and there is a track called migration but its not this track its a vocal track very confusing .
Hans Zimmer, the one who wrote the Song "Beach Song" from the MOVIE "True Romance" had full permission to rework parts of the score of this movie. What he did wasn't copying or plagiarizing-- It was a tribute.
similar music? i love true romance and this and just married randomly has a nice similar song. does anyone know anymore. preferably with xylaphone like this.
@disneymom84 Just for your interest...if you liked the film you should check out the song "Nebraska" by Bruce Springsteen. Not many people know that it was written as a ballad about the couple that went on a murder spree across the badlands,which the movie is based off as well. You should check it out,amazing song when you listen to the lyrics.
this is a strong film,i first saw in the late 70s just a great movie.this is one of my top 3 movies .ever . i cant say how much this film is great.10/10.
I loved this song when I first saw this movie many years ago. Kind ironic, considering the movies content, huh ? There was something very haunting about it, and and at the same time very beautiful. In fact, I'm watching the movie right now. It's on TCM - The Turner Classic Movie Channel.
The song is called 'Gassenhauer' and it was written by the German composer Carl Orff. There was a 'Carl Orff's Greatest Hits' style compilation out a while ago in the UK, so it may be on there.
@thissy01 : "Gassenhauer" is a lute piece from the late Renaissance, arranged for percussion instruments and recorder (this version) by Gunild Keetman in the late 50's. She worked in close collaboration with C. Orff on developing the children music "method" known as "Orff Schulwerk", and was herself an accomplished composer.
Hello my dear son Elliott. Its 5 am in the morning and I couldn't sleep. I kept hearing this happy and yet haunting melody in my head. I can't say why It makes me think of you my child, but it does. Perhaps its because it was originnaly based on music by children who were just playing around on instruments. Anyway to see your happy glad smile in my minds eye is a good thing, but I am missing you so in my life. I dearly wish all this wasn't happening Elliott, but it is. I love you Elli. Daddy x
@CAFreeling - I was just thinking the same thing. I was watching True Romance and kept thinking the music reminded me of some soundtrack, until it hit me the film was Badlands.
Sublime...saw Badlands...for the first time in decades...I now remember: film used to actually be good (that is, before the explosions, noise, brainless computer special effects, cliche's, cardboard characters, ad nauseum of today's cinema garbage...this piece of music is lovely
I read, or heard once. That this piece was created to played using the box of musical instruments that all primary schools have, triangles, xylophone, shakers, blocs drums ect...
@alixz777 Tell me please: what qualifies you to tell people what God wants? Do you speak Arabic or Chinese or Japanese or Yohimbo or Comanche? Exactly which God is it that tells you what he wants?
thank you so much. you are such a good person for putting this up. you really are. what a beautiful piece of music. and what a fantastic film. for me it is one of those perfect little films that makes me want to watch more film. it is a pity that films do not live up to the quality and original vision of this film.
The feeling of it has a great impact, but there is something in the characterisations that blows me away on repeated viewing. So flawed so real.
I have searched for this piece of music for over 10 years! I have just been going through old HSBC Adverts because I remembered I heard it on an HSBC advert in 2007! I love it!
Macroptiliummosaic AND youtootube99 - GO AWAY, go masturbate in your rooms, go someplace where the rest of humanity does not have any contact with you
Oh, I guess I'm not intelligent then. It wasn't an homage you nerdy little faggot, it was a rip off. Zimmer assumed people wouldn't recognize it. So go fuck yourself.
Oh, so you're a fucking Jesus freak as well? Christians are the lowest form of life on the planet. Go fuck yourself you stupid motherfucker. May Jesus, Mary, and Joseph gang rape your stupid faggot ass.
@Macroptiliummosaic Not to interrupt your whole 15 year old skinhead rant there but the movie True Romance itself was directly influenced by Badlands, Tarantino (The writer of True Roamnce) and Tony Scott (The director for those playing the home game) have both said this, so, and is everyone paying attention, Zimmer intionally based You're So Cool (The Theme from True Romance) Of of this work which was itself influenced by Gassenhauer by Carl Orff, Asshat
If you're referring to my skin color, I'm German-Irish, although with a scathing rebuke such as "Fuck you, you stupid nigger", I find myself a bit in awe. Either way, looking past you and the incredibly small minded view you're bringing to the table, Awesome song and film. Both Badlands and True Romance
@Professorchaos907 Superb that someone else knows the true facts. I made the same points a couple of years ago , but just got the usual abuse from idiots ! ....
May I add a couple of other points that some folk may not be aware of but may find interesting. Carl Orff used to work with fellow composer and arranger Gunild Keetman . Who also had some input on this piece. Carl Orff also said that his influence for Gassenhauer came from a peice by Hans Neusielder , a Lute player , in 1536.
Does anyone know the precise recording of "Gassenhauer" that is used in this video? It's not digitally recorded but it has more "guts" than the other versions on You Tube. I'd really like to find this recording on a CD, or online, somewhere. Who are the performers? Label?
"Music by George Aliceson Tipton", although the film "Badlands" (1973) by Terrence Malick is correct - the film credits has "Musica Poetica - Carl Orff & Gunild Keetman" that is the source of the song "Gassenhauer" (Street Song), which was arranged by Keetman based on a 16th century piece for lute.
I don't think it's underrated, but it was certainly forgotten, seeing as it came out the same year as Mean Streets, which, I might add, isn't anywhere near as good as Badlands
"Badlands" and "Mean Streets" are both great films. But it's like comparing steak to ice cream. They're both delicious, but have 2 totally different tastes.
The events that inspired the brilliant film Badlands.
Charles Starkweather (age 19 )and Caril Fugate (age 14) In 1958 started an 8 day murder spree in Nebraska , killing 8 people. Badlands fictionalised the crime on film. Quentin Tarrentino's film True Romance copies the 'love story' aspect of the Badlands , and the real event. Tarrentino claims he was paying homage to Mallicks brilliant film by coppying it so closely , to the point of reworking and using Carl Orff's tune; Gassenhaur .
@TheOctastar Tarantino only wrote the script. Hans Zimmer did the music witch he admitted where a version of gassenhauer. Probably as a homage to this film
@FuckWorkdays Yes that's correct. It was reputedly written by Hans Neusielder as you say in 1536. Many people believe that even Neusielder may have re-arranged it from an even earlier piece still. I was only refering to Carl Orff's arrangement of it for this film . Thanks for taking an interest :)
@TheOctastar True Romance indeed, but Natural Born Killers (written by Tarantino as well) and Wild at Heart (probably inspired by Badlands and certainly an inspiration for Tarantino) are quite similar in tone, plot, characters and their relationships.
@MrKohlenstoff Despite the resemblence in theme with Badlands, I think Wild at heart is highly original, and whereas Badlans is a realist exercise, I think Wild at heart portrays some incredible surrealistic scenes. Both movies are great!
this film is fantastic. i took a film class and studied this movie in and out. its great. the soundtrack is beautiful. i really appreciate everything about this film.
love the big contrast between the music and the movie, the music is light, happy,playful and refreshing, whilst the movie depicts the worst of humanity and all its sordidness - yet they both blend wonderfully
I wish you'd change the description to allow due credits to the REAL composer and arranger: the music is more than 400 years old anyway, but the arrangement for percussion instruments is by GUNILD KEETMAN!! Not, C. Orff or that fraud of a composer known as H. Zimmer or anyone else.

@Macroptiliummosaic Not to interrupt your whole 15 year old skinhead rant there but the movie True Romance itself was directly influenced by Badlands, Tarantino (The writer of True Roamnce) and Tony Scott (The director for those playing the home game) have both said this, so, and is everyone paying attention, Zimmer intionally based You're So Cool (The Theme from True Romance) Of of this work which was itself influenced by Gassenhauer by Carl Orff, Asshat

If you're referring to my skin color, I'm German-Irish, although with a scathing rebuke such as "Fuck you, you stupid nigger", I find myself a bit in awe. Either way, looking past you and the incredibly small minded view you're bringing to the table, Awesome song and film. Both Badlands and True Romance

Black nigger, Irish nigger, what's the difference? Neither film has enough racism, sexism, and homophobia.

@Professorchaos907 Superb that someone else knows the true facts. I made the same points a couple of years ago , but just got the usual abuse from idiots ! ....
May I add a couple of other points that some folk may not be aware of but may find interesting. Carl Orff used to work with fellow composer and arranger Gunild Keetman . Who also had some input on this piece. Carl Orff also said that his influence for Gassenhauer came from a peice by Hans Neusielder , a Lute player , in 1536.

Does anyone know the precise recording of "Gassenhauer" that is used in this video? It's not digitally recorded but it has more "guts" than the other versions on You Tube. I'd really like to find this recording on a CD, or online, somewhere. Who are the performers? Label?

Just noticed that the video poster ElMiusikman
has erroneously identified this piece of music as
"Music by George Aliceson Tipton", although the film "Badlands" (1973) by Terrence Malick is correct - the film credits has "Musica Poetica - Carl Orff & Gunild Keetman" that is the source of the song "Gassenhauer" (Street Song), which was arranged by Keetman based on a 16th century piece for lute.

I absolutely love this song. I wish I could get ahold of this rendition of the song (from the Badlands soundtrack).

I don't think it's underrated, but it was certainly forgotten, seeing as it came out the same year as Mean Streets, which, I might add, isn't anywhere near as good as Badlands
dan564891 2 years ago
I read somewhere when this was shown at the same festival (Tribeca) as Scorsese's "Mean Streets" , it was Badlands that got most of the buzz!

"Badlands" and "Mean Streets" are both great films. But it's like comparing steak to ice cream. They're both delicious, but have 2 totally different tastes.

The events that inspired the brilliant film Badlands.
Charles Starkweather (age 19 )and Caril Fugate (age 14) In 1958 started an 8 day murder spree in Nebraska , killing 8 people. Badlands fictionalised the crime on film. Quentin Tarrentino's film True Romance copies the 'love story' aspect of the Badlands , and the real event. Tarrentino claims he was paying homage to Mallicks brilliant film by coppying it so closely , to the point of reworking and using Carl Orff's tune; Gassenhaur .

He/they (depending on which story you believe) killed 11 people.
LyricalWax 2 years ago
Lyrical Wax -
Yes . That is absolutely correct . It was 11 people. When I wrote " 8 day murder spree" .. I wrote the 8 , again by accident.
I'm afraid I hadn't got round to correcting it.

@TheOctastar Tarantino only wrote the script. Hans Zimmer did the music witch he admitted where a version of gassenhauer. Probably as a homage to this film

@TheOctastar Gassenhauer was not created by Carl Orff, it was written in 1536
FuckWorkdays 1 year ago
@FuckWorkdays Yes that's correct. It was reputedly written by Hans Neusielder as you say in 1536. Many people believe that even Neusielder may have re-arranged it from an even earlier piece still. I was only refering to Carl Orff's arrangement of it for this film . Thanks for taking an interest :)

@TheOctastar True Romance indeed, but Natural Born Killers (written by Tarantino as well) and Wild at Heart (probably inspired by Badlands and certainly an inspiration for Tarantino) are quite similar in tone, plot, characters and their relationships.
MrKohlenstoff 1 year ago
@MrKohlenstoff Despite the resemblence in theme with Badlands, I think Wild at heart is highly original, and whereas Badlans is a realist exercise, I think Wild at heart portrays some incredible surrealistic scenes. Both movies are great!

love the big contrast between the music and the movie, the music is light, happy,playful and refreshing, whilst the movie depicts the worst of humanity and all its sordidness - yet they both blend wonderfully
rikkidelreeko 2 years ago 2
I wish you'd change the description to allow due credits to the REAL composer and arranger: the music is more than 400 years old anyway, but the arrangement for percussion instruments is by GUNILD KEETMAN!! Not, C. Orff or that fraud of a composer known as H. Zimmer or anyone else.
