    What's that soaring, flowery, harp-heavy cliché music used to satirize
    two lovers running at each other across the beach or the field, that
    climaxes when they embrace? It's just a few seconds long but it's
    instantly recognizable, and it must be in every comedy producer's
    bag of tricks.

    The Love Theme from Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet and now I'll be singing that all day!

    Thanks!! I'll check it out. I have an Ormandy box somewhere ...

    Never did "get" his "program music" pieces.

    Un-Tchaikovsky-like, it occurs only once, near the end, and just
    for the few cliché'd seconds. (The theme occurring several times
    before it is what one associates with R&J.) Ormandy takes it a
    bit faster than the clip used in the cliché. Who could that have
    been that was out of copyright but of sufficient sound quality?
    Or is the clip just short enough to be used royalty-free?
