In the film Amadeus, MOZART says “A funny little tune, but it yielded some good things.”
What does he try to mean by this phrase?

GAVE.
In this case, an odd/strange little tune, but it had/gave/presented etc. some good/interesting/nice musical qualities (which possibly contributed to a change of mood for the better at the time – ever see that movie when Whoopie Goldberg ended up back in medeival times and taught them a new and interesting ‘line-dance’ up-beat style of music?)
Different connotations in different situations. All boil down to basically GAVE, GIVE or GIVEN –
eg:
The crop gave a good yield (or yielded a good crop)………….it was a bumper crop – produced/gave lots of corn/wheat/whatever
He was told to yield his sword or die…………drop (GIVE up) your sword or we will kill you as you are outnumbered etc.
I came up to a ‘stop’ sign at the intersection and had to yield (GIVE way) to the traffic on the main road.
In this case it means it “resulted” in good things (think of a yield in harvesting terms. A good yield means you get a lot of good quality wheat. A poor yield is the opposite)
when a farmer farms he plants the seeds when he harvest the crop it yields good things that make him money
