Editing Babe (film) (section)

==Music==
The [[Film score|musical score]] for ''Babe'' was composed by [[Nigel Westlake]] and performed by the [[Melbourne Symphony Orchestra]]. Classical orchestral music by 19th-century French composers is used throughout the film, but is disguised in a variety of ways and often integrated by Westlake into his score. The theme song "[[If I Had Words]]" (lyrics by Jonathan Hodge), sung by Hoggett near the film's conclusion, is an adaptation of the ''Maestoso'' final movement of the [[Symphony No. 3 (Saint-Saëns)|''Organ Symphony'']] by [[Camille Saint-Saëns]], and was originally performed in 1977 by [[Scott Fitzgerald (singer)|Scott Fitzgerald]] and [[Yvonne Keeley]]. This tune also recurs throughout the film's score.<ref>''[[Film Score Monthly]]'' 53–64, Los Angeles CA 1995, p. 70</ref>
