And This Is My Beloved
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"And This Is My Beloved" is a popular song.
It was from the 1953 musical Kismet and is credited to Robert Wright and George Forrest. Like all the music in that show, the melody was in fact based on music composed by Alexander Borodin, in this case, Borodin's String Quartet in D.
The same melody had earlier (1946) been used for a song credited to William Engvick, Bert Reisfeld and Alec Wilder entitled "Spring Magic," which was recorded by Charlie Spivak and his Orchestra.
A version by Mario Lanza became popular in 1956.
