Shostakovich’s one composition for Hollywood was this closing number for the 1943 musical Thousands Cheer. Kathryn Grayson is the soloist, accompanied by an orchestra conducted by Jose Iturbi and a chorus singing this song of unity against the Nazi threat.
Listen, listen
Here comes the new parade
Listen, listen
To voices unafraid
Many lands joining one new throng
Many tongues singing one new song
Make way for that day called tomorrow
Make way for a world that is new
Fight on for that dawn of tomorrow
Together we'll all see it through
United Nations on the march
With flags unfurled
Together fight for victory
A free new world
Free men free as kingdom come
Free hearts beating through each drum
Listen to the voices of the newborn world
Marching onward
United to fight the fight for right and liberty
Makе way for that day called tomorrow
Make way for a world that is new
Fight on for that dawn of tomorrow
Togеther we'll all see it through
United Nations on the march
With flags unfurled
Together fight for victory
A free new world
Together fight for victory
A free new world
United Nations on the March was written by Harold Rome & Дмитрий Шостакович (Dmitri Shostakovich).
