Isn't It Romantic! (Melachrino Strings) HD
23LYRICS:
Isn't it romantic?
How I know your voice, a dream that can be heard,
Isn't it romantic?
Can I help rejoice at each endearing word?
Brought by a secret charm,
Or by my heart's command--
You'll ride to me in armor,
Just to kiss my hand.
Isn't it romantic?
You will hear my call and bend your royal knee.
Isn't it romantic?
You're so straight and tall and yet a slave to me.
Sweet lover of my fancy,
Will you ever come to life perchance?
Isn't it romance?

"Isn't It Romantic?" is a popular song and part of the Great American Songbook. The music was composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Lorenz Hart. It has a 32-bar chorus in A–B–A–C form. Alec Wilder, in his book American Popular Song: The Great Innovators 1900–1950, calls it "a perfect song."
It was introduced by Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald in the Paramount film Love Me Tonight (1932). It has since been recorded numerous times, with and without vocals, by many jazz and popular artists. It has also since been featured in a number of other movies.
In Love Me Tonight, the song is used in a sequence in which it is first sung by Maurice Chevalier, a tailor, and then taken up by others (his customer, a cabby, a composer, a troop of soldiers, a band of gypsies) and is finally heard and sung by a princess, played by Jeanette MacDonald. The lyrics in the film are not the same as those in the published version. In 2004 this version finished at #73 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
The title is often used in headlines in The New York Times, such as "The Recession. Isn't It Romantic?", "Italy: Isn't It Romantic?” and "In Madrid, Isn't It Romantic?". - Wikipedia

George Melachrino (1909 – 1965) was a musician, movie composer, and musical director who was English born of Greek and Italian descent. He was an accomplished player of the violin, viola, oboe, clarinet and saxophone.
After the World War II, in 1945, he formed the George Melachrino Orchestra (Melachrino Strings), an orchestra that became synonymous with sweet and melodious music. From 1945-1947 he conducted for Richard Tauber in most of his Parlophone recordings and BBC broadcasts.
Melachrino frequently performed on BBC and American Armed Forces Radio. He vied with Mantovani in trying to dominate the post World War II easy listening audiences.
Melachrino has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. - Wikipedia
