I have been trying to find the name of this instrumental piece of music for 40 years! I would be so relieved to find an answer. It must have been from the very early 1960's. I have only heard it on the radio twice in the last 30 years. It was in the very end of the movie King Ralph when they are at a ball, I think. No words, only orchestra, very haunting. It sort of reminds me of the theme song from Love Song(instrumental version) and the theme song from Romeo & Juliet(also instrumental version). Any ideas?

All the original material was composed by James Newton Howard. I am very familiar with both the songs you listed, but since I have not seen this particular movie, I probably can't be of much more help at this time. Sorry. Good luck. :)

Thank you soooooo much!! The song is Where is Your Heart. Thank you! What a relief to finally know the name of this song. I looked up the lyrics too so now I have all the pieces to the puzzle. It feels like having a sliver pulled out that has been irritating you for a very long time!:D

Ooooh I know just what you mean! Its how I felt finding my long lost line was from Blazing Saddles, which is why I started the "Killer Lines from the Movies" thread hoping it would show up. And it did!! (does a little jig here)

I just love it when we play "Name That Tune ... or Bug ... or Whatever!" here. :p
