Breakfast at Tiffany's: Music from the Motion Picture is not the soundtrack from the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Audrey Hepburn. Henry Mancini routinely released albums recorded at RCA Recording Studios in Hollywood that contained arrangements of music from his scores. The arrangements were designed to be more accessible to the listening public. In recent years a poor quality stereo bootleg CD of the actual soundtrack and an authorized CD of the actual soundtrack have become available in limited quantities as well as an extended version of this album with bonus tracks. The tracks were composed and conducted by Henry Mancini, except for "Moon River" and "Moon River Cha Cha", which were also composed by Johnny Mercer. At the 1962 Academy Awards, Mancini and Mercer won Oscars for Best Original Song for "Moon River," while Mancini picked up a second statue for Best Original Score. The album also stayed on Billboard's album charts for over ninety weeks.

Famous quotes containing the words music, motion and/or picture:
“As if, as if, as if the disparate halves
Of things were waiting in a betrothal known
To none, awaiting espousal to the sound
Of right joining, a music of ideas, the burning
And breeding and bearing birth of harmony,
The final relation, the marriage of the rest.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“... The festival-colored brightness
That is their motion ...”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“No sacrifice was too great to get the film right, to get it accurate, true, and perfect. We weren’t important in our minds; only the picture was.”
—Lillian Gish (1896–1993)
