Victor Young (Chicago, 1900 – Los Angeles, 1956) American musician who stood out for his work in film as a soundtrack composer. Considered one of the most influential musicians in Hollywood, Victor Young came to the world of cinema after absolutely bizarre beginnings.
As he was the son of Polish emigrants and mastered the language of his parents, they decided to send him to Europe, thinking about his early musical education. He studied at the Warsaw Conservatory and soon demonstrated great musical gifts, surprising his teachers, who witnessed a brilliant career that led him in his teens to be the first violinist of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra.
Until that moment, his career did not suffer any setbacks; but, in 1917, he agreed to go on a concert tour in Russia, in full revolutionary euphoria. Security guarantees were minimal and he, in fact, was arrested.
Everything raised fears for his personal integrity when a Bolshevik officer, admired by his talent, planned the escape of Young, who seemed to be touched by bad luck, because shortly after outwitting the Russian authorities, he was arrested again, this time to Germany. , a country where his presence was not appropriate either. Once again, it was his talent as a violinist that helped him leave prison and head to the United States.
After the busy European journey, Young decided to settle in Los Angeles, where he gained fame as a violinist. Attracted by the world of cinema, he tries his luck in the orchestra that Paramount has on staff to perform the soundtracks of its productions. To everyone’s surprise, Young began to compose and arrange scores, and he did it with such ease that he has gone down in film history as one of the most prolific musicians.
On radio, he was the musical director of The Old Gold Don Ameche Show and Harvest of Stars. He was a musical director for many of Bing Crosby’s recordings for the American branch of Decca Records.
For Decca, he also conducted the first album of songs from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, a sort of “pre-soundtrack” cover version rather than a true soundtrack album. The album featured Judy Garland and the Ken Darby Singers singing songs from the film in Young’s own arrangements. Young often collaborated with Ken Darby and the Singers for radio programs starring the popular Met Opera baritone John Charles Thomsen. He also composed the music for several Decca spoken word albums.
He received 22 Academy Award nominations for his work in film, twice being nominated four times in a single year, but he did not win during his lifetime.
Victor Young received his only Oscar posthumously for his score of Around the World in Eighty Days (1956). Harold Adamson wrote the lyrics to Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Todd’s blessing.

Adamson could not be nominated, for the words were written two weeks before Oscar night and the votes were in. Yet, theaters around the country played the lyrics at intermission.
Thus, Victor Young holds the record for most Oscar nominations before winning the first award. His other nominated scores include Anything Goes (1936), The Big Broadcast of 1937 (1936), Artists and Models (1937), The Gladiator (1938), Golden Boy (1939), For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), The Uninvited (1944), Love Letters (1945), So Evil My Love (1948), The Emperor Waltz (1948), The Paleface (1948), Samson and Delilah (1949), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (1949), Our Very Own (1950), September Affair (1950), My Favorite Spy (1951), Payment on Demand (1951), The Quiet Man (1952), Scaramouche (1952), Something to Live For (1952), Shane (1953), The Country Girl (1954), A Man Alone (1955), The Conqueror (1956) and The Maverick Queen (1956).
He contributed two-tone poems, “White” and “Black”, to the 1956 album Frank Sinatra Conducts Tone Poems of Color.
His last scores were for the 1957 films Omar Khayyam, Run of the Arrow and China Gate, which were released after his death. The last was left unfinished at the time of his death and was finished by his long-time friend Max Steiner.
“The Call of the Faraway Hills”, which Young had composed for the film Shane, was also used as the theme for the U.S. television series Shane. Young won a Primetime Emmy Award for his scoring of the TV special Light’s Diamond Jubilee, which aired on all four American TV networks on October 24, 1954.
As an occasional bit player, Young can be glimpsed briefly in The Country Girl (1954) playing a recording studio leader conducting Bing Crosby while he tapes “The Search is Through (You’ve Got What It Takes).”
