Soundtrack Q & A
Q: Where can I find the sheet music to this movie? I am having trouble deciphering "The Green Leaves Of Summer" and "Ballad of the Alamo".

Q: What is the trumpet music playing the night before the battle? (from george in Essex England)
A: The song was the "De Guella" or the death song. It was rumored that the Mexican army played that tune for more than 8 hours prior to the final attack to put fear in the Texicans, however all it seemed to do was inspire them to fight much harder and caused the Mexican army to not charge as hard until Santa Anna threatened to put his soldiers to the sword himself. And we all know how it ended. (thanks to rilsejr_1, Corpus Christi,Tx,USAadd more info

Q: I'm interested in learning more about the choral work done in the Dimitri Tiomkin score of The Alamo (1960). Specifically, I'd like to know the name of the chorale which did "Tennessee Babe", "The Green Leaves of Summer" (film version), and the epilogue. Was this a studio choir-- or a Jester Hairston chorale? Thank you for any information you may be able to offer.
