The soundtrack for the 1968 film Romeo and Juliet was composed and conducted by Nino Rota. It was originally released as an LP, containing nine entries, most notably the song "What Is a Youth", composed by Nino Rota, written by Eugene Walter and performed by Glen Weston. The music score won a Silver Ribbon award of the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists in 1968[1] and was nominated for two other awards (BAFTA Award for Best Film Music in 1968[2] and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score in 1969).[1]
