Kismet (1953) - Baubles, Bangles, and Beads

Performed by the Ambrosian Chorus and Philharmonia Orchestra, with soloist Valerie Masterson, and John Edwards conducting

Kismet is a 1953 musical adapted by Charles Lederer and Luther Davis from the 1911 play of the same name by Edward Knoblock, The bulk of the music used is adapted from various compositions by 19th-century Russian composer Alexander Borodin, with lyrics and musical arrangements (along with some original music) by Robert Wright and George Forrest. The melody for the above number is taken from the second movement of Borodin’s String Quartet No. 2

Barbara Eden performs "Not Since Nineveh" in a 1967 made-for-tv adaptation of Kismet

I have always had a soft spot for Kismet despite the [gestures vaguely] of it all, and I imagine that this production was at least partially inspired by the prospect of giving Barbara "I Dream of Jeannie" Eden another vaguely Middle Eastern flavored star vehicle. Which... yeah, it was a different time, but she eats this number up at least.

Also, it's interesting to hear the song performed in a lower key.
