Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. He wrote it in his early career. It is about two young star-crossed lovers whose de@ths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It is among the most popular plays of Shakespeare during his lifetime. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.
Later in 1968 the play was recorded as a film. The above video is the sound track of the movie. It was composed and captured by Nino Rota. It was originally released as a vinyl record which contained nine entries most notably the song ‘What is a Youth’ which was also composed by Nino Rota, written by Eugene Walter and performed by Glen Weston. The music score won a Silver Ribbon award of the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists in 1968 and also was nominated for two other awards in 1968 and 1969 respectively.
The sound track is referred as ‘Original Soundtrack Recording’ on the front cover. Several other editions of the soundtrack feature different covers. The video of the soundtrack is like a short movie to the play Romeo and Juliet as it shows the whole movie in just couple of minutes.
