|title        = Poem To Mrs. Wellington
|information  = '''The Break-up''' is the music under the scene where Tricky sits drunk with Katy complaining about Christopher and then confronts Christopher and Mary and tells her everything stated as a plan to get to her fortune. The song uses snatches from the melody of [[Under The Cherry Moon]]. The bassline  is somewhat reminiscent of the intro to [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] as performed on the [[Sign O' The Times Tour]].  
+
|information  = '''Poem To Mrs. Wellington''' is the music under the scene where Christopher says his ''I'm nothing without your touch my love, I'm nothing without your kiss. 2 spend each night in your arms my flower, is man's idea of bliss. 2 not hear your voice each day is to die seven times my God's wrath. If I was anything other than human I want to be the water in your bath''  poem to Mrs. Wellington while taking a bath. A variant of the 'water in your bath' line was also used in [[Girl]]. The music includes a variation of the [[Under The Cherry Moon]] melody.

|title        = Butterscotch
+
|title        = Champagne
|information  = '''Butterscotch''' is the music under the scene where Christopher compares his and Tricky's skin tones as butterscotch and chocolate explaining why they couldn't be brothers. This is in fact an alternate instrumental version of the unreleased [[It's A Wonderful Day]]. Another bit of the same piece was used earlier in the scene before cutting away to a scene with Mary and Isaac. The earlier bit is confusingly registered under a different title: '''Chris And Tricky Discuss Mary'''
+
|information  = '''Champagne''' is assumed to be the music we hear at Mary's party. Among others there is a scene with a young girl stealing a sip of champagne from the glass of an old man who dozed off. It is in fact a version of [[Do U Lie?]] with the [[Clare Fischer]] orchestra arrangement added and likely copyrighted as such because the version of the song as released on [[Album: Parade|Parade]] does not have the [[Clare Fischer]] orchestra. Oddly [[Clare Fischer|Fischer]] does not seem to be acknowledged for his co-writing /arranging credit on this orchestral part.

|information  = '''Chris And Tricky Argue''' is the music under the scene where Christopher comes home after seeing Mary having stood up Tricky whom he told earlier to meet him 'at the club in two hours.' Tricky is upset and vocal about it towards Christopher. [[Clare Fischer]] has a co-writing credit on this orchestral part. It is in fact [[Clare Fischer|Fischer]]'s arrangement originally composed for [[Old Friends 4 Sale]].
+
|information  = '''Mia Boca''' is the music under the scene where Mary emerges from the house to mingle with her guests, get a set of tarot-cards from Mrs. Wellington and later tosses them with Christopher catching them. This is in fact the beat and [[Clare Fischer]] orchestrated music of the [[Jill Jones]]'s [[Mia Bocca]] but before it was released as such. The track is mentioned as one of the songs in the film during the end credits. The title (with one C) misspells Boca, which is the Spanish word for mouth, while 'Mia' is Italian (Spanish would be 'mi'). The title was changed to correct Italian when [[Jill Jones]] released her version on her [[Album: Jill Jones|eponymous]] 1987 Album.

|information  = '''Chris And Tricky In Square''' is the classical restaurant music under the scene at the Papillon restaurant where Chris and Tricky are trying to bring Mary down to their world, including the infamous 'Wrecka Stow' bit.

|information  = '''Mia Boca''' is the music under the scene where Mary emerges from the house to mingle with her guests, get a set of tarot-cards from Mrs. Wellington and later tosses them with Christopher catching them. This is in fact the beat and [[Clare Fischer]] orchestrated music of the [[Jill Jones]]'s [[Mia Bocca]] but before it was released as such. The track is mentioned as one of the songs in the film during the end credits. The title (with one C) misspells Boca, which is the Spanish word for mouth, while 'Mia' is Italian (Spanish would be 'mi'). The title was changed to correct Italian when [[Jill Jones]] released her version on her [[Album: Jill Jones|eponymous]] 1987 Album.
+
|information  = '''The Break-up''' is the music under the scene where Tricky sits drunk with Katy complaining about Christopher and then confronts Christopher and Mary and tells her everything stated as a plan to get to her fortune. The song uses snatches from the melody of [[Under The Cherry Moon]]. The bassline and the beat are somewhat reminiscent of the intro to [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] as performed on the [[Sign O' The Times Tour]].

Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic album segues All Songs All Segues
Under The Cherry Moon score & cues

border
from the film Under The Cherry Moon

Album segues details


Performer: Prince
First Released: 2 July 1986 - Under The Cherry Moon film
Album(s): Under The Cherry Moon
Writer(s): Prince and others
Producer(s): Prince

Under The Cherry Moon score & cues refers to the score composed for various scenes in Under The Cherry Moon that are not songs of their own. They are individual copyright pieces of music however, composed by Prince in one case with help of Eric Leeds and on others with Clare Fischer orchestral arrangements. Some are existing compositions, both titles from the Parade album and otherwise unreleased songs under different titles.

While specific recording dates are not known, Prince worked on music for the film on 6 January 1986 and 7 January 1986 at Warner Hollywood Studios (a.k.a. Samuel Goldwyn Studios) in Hollywood, California and between 6 May 1986 and 9 May 1986 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California. Christopher And Couples and Mary And Tricky Dance are piano-only versions of Alexa De Paris recorded while shooting a scene during the filming of Under The Cherry Moon in late 1985 at Studios de la Victorine in Nice, France. Parts of the score were also composed and recorded by Clare Fischer and his orchestra at the Monterey Sound Studios, Glendale, California after Fischer asked Prince to send him early dailies of the film.

Additionally, the film contains versions of An Honest Man, Christopher Tracy's Parade‎‎, Do U Lie?, I Wonder U, Alexa De Paris, Under The Cherry Moon, Anotherloverholenyohead, Sometimes It Snows In April, and Mountains with musical differences unique to their respective use in the film. They are not listed below, but detailed on their respective song-pages

The titles are listed in the order they appear in the film, except for some individual short cues that have no specific titles of their own.

Champagne is assumed to be the music we hear at Mary's party. Among others there is a scene with a young girl stealing a sip of champagne from the glass of an old man who dozed off. It is in fact a version of Do U Lie? with the Clare Fischer orchestra arrangement added and likely copyrighted as such because the version of the song as released on Parade does not have the Clare Fischer orchestra. Oddly Fischer does not seem to be acknowledged for his co-writing /arranging credit on this orchestral part.

Mia Boca

Mia Boca is the music under the scene where Mary emerges from the house to mingle with her guests, get a set of tarot-cards from Mrs. Wellington and later tosses them with Christopher catching them. This is in fact the beat and Clare Fischer orchestrated music of the Jill Jones's Mia Bocca but before it was released as such. The track is mentioned as one of the songs in the film during the end credits. The title (with one C) misspells Boca, which is the Spanish word for mouth, while 'Mia' is Italian (Spanish would be 'mi'). The title was changed to correct Italian when Jill Jones released her version on her eponymous 1987 Album.

Christopher And Couples

Christopher And Couples is a bit in the film, possibly the first part of the scene where we see Christopher in a restaurant playing a piano version of Alexa De Paris while the camera pans around the restaurant while we see people conversing, eating and fighting. The next scene has a seeming continuation of the same piano rendition of Alexa De Paris, but was registered as Mary And Tricky Dance.

Another bit of the same piece was used later in the scene after cutting away to a scene with Mary and Isaac. The later bit is confusingly registered under a different title: Butterscotch.

Police Have Found The Car

Police Have Found The Car is the music under the scene where Isaac gets a phone call from the police informing him that they found Christopher's car. The music is saxophone and synth. It seems likely Eric Leeds had part in writing, where he is credited for Tricky Escapes / Mary In Grotto which is unlikely to have his contribution.

Tricky Escapes / Mary In Grotto

Tricky Escapes / Mary In Grotto is the music under the scene where Mary wakes up in the Grotto, finds Christopher gone and reads his 'An Honest man' poem. While the poem has the lyrics to An Honest Man the music is that of Venus De Milo.

Eric Leeds is registered as a co-writing for this piece. This is seemingly in error. His credit was most likely supposed to be for Police Have Found The Car, an original composition which has sax in it. The title could also have been registered Mary In Grotto / Tricky Escapes to follow the storyline.

Best Man

Best Man is the music under the scene where Christopher and Tricky make up, and Tricky says: "Let's put it this way: if we ever make it to that wedding, I'll be your best man." Since this bit is orchestral (and doesn't seem to be an arrangement to a known song), Clare Fischer should likely have a credit on this as it was likely composed and arranged by him.

Tragedy / Isaacs Reaction

Tragedy / Isaacs Reaction is the music under the Christopher's death scene and a direct continuation of the scene that uses music titled Best Man in the scene before. While he is not credited for this, it seems likely that Clare Fischer should have been as this orchestral music was likely composed and arranged by him.

Under The Cherry Moon Cues

Under The Cherry Moon Cues are very short cues, used between scenes based on the song Under The Cherry Moon, that appear throughout the film.

  • Cue: A few bars of Under The Cherry Moon are played on piano during the introduction of the film (followed by An Honest Man).
  • Cue: A short saxophone part is played under the scene where Christopher and Tricky beg for Katy's kindness (before playfully threatening her with the Bela Lugosi look).
  • Cue: A harp like chord sound and appears when Christopher and Tricky discuss Mary while Christopher takes a bath at the exact moment Tricky shows Christopher a newspaper with Mary's picture.
  • Cue: A synth chord after used when Chris submerges in the tub and the scene cuts to the Mediterranean sea and the Sharon Villa. The exact same cue is used for when Isaac's men are spying (with binoculars from a balcony) on Christopher and Tricky in the town square and again a little while after when the two of them have lunch and talk in a what later appears to be a bat-infested restaurant.
  • Cue: A short synth-flute exclamation after Christopher says: "Billy Eckstine he 'ain't baby", after hearing Jonathan sing 'Happy Birthday To You' over the phone.
  • Cue: Ominous synth-tones when an older lady client asks Christopher when they can meet again, making Christopher question his past decisions.
