Georges Delerue: Platoon - Finale

Track 07 from Georges Delerue's score for Platoon (1986). Don't confuse it with Samuel Barber's 'Adagio for Strings,' which plays at the movie's end. Anyone wishing to listen to it, use this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQsgE0L450

Although Georges Delerue clearly used this theme as the backbone of his score, this track is his own work. I'm getting tired of people coming here saying this was composed by Barber. It wasn't. Listen to both pieces.

Samuel Barber, not Georges Delerue

Again?

I think you've got it confused with this:

Just check it out (on youtube for example) before asserting without knowing.

@MrPatrickvanloo

I have, and they're not the same. Have you checked it out?

Georges Delerue did NOT compose this piece of music. Samuel Barber is the composer. Adagio for strings composed in 1938.

I think you're confused

If only Corey Glover (who played in Platoon and is also the singer Of Living Colour) had the opportunity to do a song with this soundtrack, this could have been a bit like David Sylvian & Ryûichi Sakamoto's "Forbidden Colors" in the movie "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence"... if only.

Great, thanks!
