SATURDAY NIGHT RICHARD WAGNER, RANDY EDELMAN.

First Richard Wagner's ouverture of Tannhauser, his opera in three acts centered around the historical personage of Tannhauser, a medieval Minnesaenger and poet.



The soundtrack of the movie Gettysburg (1993), by film music composer Randy Edelman, contains some memorable pieces. The score starting at about 2:24 deserved further development. It accompanies General Buford, commander of the 1st Division, the Cavalry Corps, riding past the Selinary and spotting beyond it the temporarily retreating Confederate troops, probably Pettigrew's division.



Good night.

MFBB.
