Q: What is the name of the song playing at the end of Mr Holland's Opus that has the words "...from the moment you were born..." in it? (from Waivie in Brunswick Ga.)
A: It is called "Cole's Song" by Julian Lennon. (thanks to Raquel, Austin, Texas, USAadd more info
A: The song is "Beautiful Boy," by John Lennon. Mr. Holland sang it to his son, Cole, during a concert he gave at the high school for the deaf attended by Cole. He articulated the lyrics in sign language. The performance was a profound message of love, acceptance, and atonement offered publicly to his son. His atonement was for the intolerance and neglect Mr. Holland showed his son when he, as a musician, couldn't accept his son's deafness. The poignancy of that scene is heightened by a previous scene in which Cole confronts his father's neglectful behavior after Mr. Holland loses his temper with Cole on the day the country learns that John Lennon has been murdered. In that confrontation, Cole accuses his father of caring more about his students than his own son. (thanks to Amy, Berkeley, CAadd more info

Q: The song playing at the end of Mr. Holland's Opus "The American Symphony"... is that the real name that Beethoven gave it? (from brenda  in Charleston, South Carolina USA)
A: It's actually by Michael Kamen, not Beethoven... and yes this is the correct name. (thanks to Travisadd more info
