Just watched The Man who Knew too Much

[question everything]

I am curious of whether the orchestral choral piece playing at Royal Albert Hall - where the action was - is a real piece or was just written for the movie. Not much was played.

1. Dunno, didn't watch, but found this:

Storm Cloud Cantata. (1934). by Arthur Benjamin and D.B. Wyndham-Lewis ; Whatever Will Be, Will Be. (Que Sera, Sera). Music by Jay Livingston ; We'll Love Again.

[question everything]

2. Thank you. Yes, these are two different music scores

3. Per Wikipedia, it was written for the 1934 film.

Arthur Benjamin scored the 1934 version of The Man Who Knew Too Much, including the climactic cantata, but it seems the cantata was also used in the 1956 version (for which Bernard Hermann composed the film score).

4. The music in this film works so well....

When Doris Day sings "Que Sera, Sera" and pauses for a slit second when she realizes her son is alive in that mansion I always take a breath with her.
