Answer by Topher
No. The original score was written by the same compositor of the “Ave Maria” and the operas “Faust” and “Romeo and Juliet”. French compositor Charles-Francois Gounod wrote the main theme score called “Funeral March of a Marionette” in the mid 1800’s.
The theme was first used by the acting industry in 1932 in a low budget film called as Gounod’s piece: “Funeral March of a Marionette”.
