This score, from the early 60s, might just as easily been written for a Cinerama travelogue or some other major event. The music accompanies wonderful aerial photography of a balloon making its way across the landscape of France, as a man and a young boy enjoy all that they survey below them.
The music by Jean Prodromides has a vast echoing sonic quality to it, which fills the ear just as the movie fills the eyes with a bouyant treat. This film was released in America with the title Stowaway in the Sky and was narrated by Jack Lemmon.

<i>Written by Joep de Bruijn - Review of the regular release</i>

The score is performed by a large, 80 piece orchestra and makes use of 12 solo guitarists and a 30 male chorus for several cues. Its symphonic elegance and lilting character underline the beautiful surroundings and the humorous children story being told. The score is an impressive burst of energy, wonderfully orchestrated and with several themes heard in different variations. The first theme is introduces as a waltz, but re-occurs in variation ranging from chorus and guitars combination to a joyful tambourine version. The second theme is a little, playful tune performed by the clarinet. Le Voyage en Ballon is without a doubt an imposingly high and dynamic score that never ceases to amaze me.
