"The High and the Mighty"♫ Victor Young

Music: The High and the Mighty
Performing Artist: Victor Young

Composer: Dmitri Tiomkin

"The High and the Mighty" is a song by Ned Washington and Dimitri Tiomkin from the movie of the same name.
At the start of the film's production late in 1953, veteran film composer and musician Dimitri Tiomkin was commissioned to write the film's Academy Award winning score. The studio also urged Tiomkin to come up with a theme song for the film, to be released to radio and as a vinyl record. Tiomkin formed the basic melody to the song and enlisted songwriter Ned Washington to write the song's lyrics.

A slight correction - this was composed by Dimitri Tiompkin

[65Seasons]

@Jamesmac30, it's ok. There really is nothing to correct. The "more info" states the composer is Dmitri Tiomkin. Victor Young was the conductor of the Victor Young Orchestra..... :)

lovely music, this video kinda takes one away for a brief period of time I feel like I'm flying away.

[65Seasons]

@shirl328, then the video-effects must have been a success..... :)

It makes me happy knowing that a viewer enjoyed it too, as i did in creating it. ....:)

This music is sooo chill, I wish I didn't have a wide gap between my two front teeth so I could whistle like him :(

[FaerieCrone]

Why does this remind me of Lassie?

The great bass legend Jaco Pastorius often worked this whistler's melody into his solos. It is a fascinating, complex melody; apparently it intrigued him.

No words can describe the feeling everytime I hear.

I have been looking for this version but to no avail. Tnx God I found it! I love this piece. I feel As if am floating on the cloud.

I wish I could find the Les Baxter version on YouTube :0( Thought I found it but it wouldn't play. Beauriful choral and orchestral build at the end that this can't touch. But thanks for this, for what it is.
