By Andy Williams. By Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer. Arranged by Chris Siddall. This edition: pdf, streaming. Film/TV. 5 pages. Chris Siddall Music Publishing #1392693. Published by Chris Siddall Music Publishing (A0.1832970).
“Moon River” is one of the most enduring songs in American film history, written by Henry Mancini (music) and Johnny Mercer (lyrics) for the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Gentle, wistful, and deceptively simple, the song captures a longing for freedom and belonging that lies at the heart of the movie.
In the film, it is memorably performed by Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, singing softly by her apartment window with a guitar. Mancini’s melody flows like the river of the title - unhurried and tender - while Mercer’s lyrics evoke wanderlust and companionship with lines about “two drifters” crossing life’s wide world together. The imagery is intimate yet expansive, mirroring Holly’s blend of vulnerability and restless ambition.
“Moon River” went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became closely associated with both Hepburn and the romantic aura of early-1960s Hollywood. Recorded by countless artists over the decades, it remains a standard of the American songbook - its quiet yearning continuing to resonate long after the final scene fades.
Created from the original manuscript, this release offers a rare opportunity to study film music in its authentic, original orchestration and arrangement. An opportunity not to be missed!
