Film Music?[edit]

I am absolutely sure I have seen his name billed on a (black and white) motion picture, but cannot recall any details and am unable to find any information about it on the net. Maybe someone knows more? -- megA (talk) 08:16, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The movie is called Theremin: An Electronic Odessy http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1148763/ There is a short scene showing a theremin performance and the narrator mentioning Fuleihans Concerto for Theremin and Orchestra.

Fuleihan is a well-known Christian Arab Lebanese family. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vladdydaddy (talkcontribs) 14:08, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's not film music, that's music cited in a documentary. I meant a film entirely scored by Fuleihan. -- megA (talk) 10:11, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
