Salute to the composer Victor Young
Welcome to Victor Young's web, whom was the composer not only film music but also an author of well known songs in the first half of 20th century.
Since the first time I saw the movie Shane I began to interest in this composer of the Golden age. I couldn`t find any compact information, so I began to collect anything I could about him (like photos and score samples). As a result of my interest I made this web which I hope gives the most complex information about his work and himselves. If you have any questions or suggestions, please, mail me.

Into Download section added two new Victor's photos and one period article (1920), which I got from one of visitors of this websites.
In addition I put link to small preview of the Young's collection at Brandeis University, USA. The collection is still frequently used by musicologists and other researchers.
