Vangelis' La Petite Fille de la mer
La Petite Fille de la mer (Little Girl of the Sea) is a track on the album L'Apocalypse des animaux (The Apocalypse of Animals) by Greek composer Vangelis. The album's music accompanied a television documentary-series with the same name, which was directed by Frédéric Rossif and first broadcast on French television in 1970. La Petite Fille de la mer appeared on the soundtrack of the 2006 movie Stranger than Fiction, and in Slava Polunin's stage production Slava's Snowshow.
Vangelis (born in 1943) is a Greek musician, and composer of electronic, jazz, pop-rock and orchestral music. He has composed the music for more than fifty albums. Vangelis is probably best known for his scores of the movies 1492: Conquest of Paradise, Blade Runner, and Chariots of Fire, the latter of which won an Academy Award. Some music critics consider him to be one of the greatest living composers of electronic music.
