"Magnificent Ambersons" soundtrack question

Post by zigguraticus » Wed Oct 26, 2022 8:39 am

Is there a full recording of the arrangement of "At a Georgia Camp Meeting" as played during the ballroom scene in THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS (the Welles version, 1942)?

The only "complete" score recording is the Preamble CD and it does not include any of the source cues.

I think the closest you will find is the Paragon Orchestra:
