I simply love "Mio, min Mio" since I was 11 years old in 1987, and have the soundtrack myself on both LP and CD. And three versions on DVD. Where did you find those pictures? Can I use them in my "Mio in the Land of Faraway" group on Facebook? Can you please send them to me, if I give you my e-mail?
@ABPianoBA I was sure about that but after some remarks on Icethesite's Facebook page I'm not that sure anymore. The general credits mention both Benny Andersson and Anders Eljas but it's possible that only Eljas wrote this one. Do you (or anyone) happen to know more about this?
@ABPianoBA As far as I have figured Benny Anderson wrote the "theme" for the movie as used in Gemini's song Mio min Mio. And this overture is based on that. But Anders Eljas orchestrated and composed the music written for orchestra. It's many thematic phrases troughout, ie the sheperds theme, and the sinister theme for Kato, the evil knight. It's a damned shame that this little gem is forgotten, it should be released on cd!
