At the very beginning of the movie, Marianne is playing a song and Elinor asks her to stop, so she starts playing some other mournful tune. What are the two songs? It's not "Weep you no more" or "Father's Favorite," (which Elinor never asks her to stop playing).

At the very beginning of the movie, Marianne is playing a song and Elinor asks her to stop, so she starts playing some other mournful tune. What are the two songs? It's not "Weep you no more" or "Father's Favorite," (which Elinor never asks her to stop playing). Very near the beginning, Marianne is playing this tune that she says was her father's favourite and Elanor tells her to stop. What is the tune and is it possible to find music for it? It's not the 'Weep You No More Sad Fountains' one. [This song is titled "Father's Favourite" on the movie soundtrack and you can listen to a sample here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000029OJ/102-6262984-3788106?v=glance. You can also purchase sheet music for the song here: http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/store/smp_detail.html?sku=HL.351503&cart=33192619781507038&searchtitle=sheet music&type=rec.] There is a scene partway through the movie when Marianne is playing and singing, the first time Colonel Brandon sees her. What song is she singing, and where can I find music for it? [The lyrics come from a poem called "Weep You No More, Sad Fountains" - it was set to music specifically for the film by Patrick Doyle. As such, it's quite unlikely that you'd be able to find the music for it.] Answered by Tailkinker
