Oklahoma! (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 1CD

Rodgers & Hammersteins Oklahoma! Original Motion Picture Soundtrack preserves the songs from the 1955 film adaptation of their groundbreaking Broadway musical, a work that reshaped American musical theater when it premiered in 1943. Recorded for the widescreen CinemaScope production, the soundtrack captures the shows blend of frontier storytelling and integrated songcraft, with full orchestral arrangements that expand on the stage version.

Signature numbers like Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin and People Will Say Were in Love anchor the score with melodies that quickly entered the American songbook, while The Surrey With the Fringe on Top and the rousing title anthem Oklahoma showcase the productions balance of romance and community spectacle. The inclusion of extended ballet sequences such as Out of My Dreams Ballet reflects the films commitment to dance as narrative. This CD edition presents the complete motion picture soundtrack in sequence.
