Thanks for introducing Leifs here -- I've loved his stuff since I discovered it 8 years back while managing Joel's Classical Shop. One of my most happy discoveries while working there -- I think a customer might have turned me onto him though I may have just sampled a promo copy or something.

Will seek out this composer - as I keep saying, that's why I began this thread - so we could all discover new composers.

Meanwhile, my clip is still unguessed - go to it!

French wave...Michel Legrand?


Not French, not New Wave.


BTW beautiful recording and those lush strings, like that echo sound...I have no clue about composer but is elegant something like countryside portrait, pastoral track.
If it is not French composer...what about British composer...David Snell or John Cameron.


Not British. Okay, a tiny little clew - the composer wrote a film score. The composer also wrote a Broadway musical smile

I've seen it referred to as "the loudest orchestral music ever written".

Well, this will probably give it away, but - one Broadway score, one feature film score. And just to add, one of my favorite composers EVER.

Probably well off the mark, but in places it sounds like Frederick Converse, and I know he only did a film or two, so he is my guess.

Could be Elie Siegmeister?
He wrote one film score (1959's They Came to Cordura) and one Broadway (1944's Sing Out, Sweet Land).

2nd one is pseudo talos! My guess is a sword/sandal fantasy by one of the older italians.

Yer close, BillCarson. smile

Yes, it's Italian.
It's from 1961, so it is "older" Italian.

But - no - this is not from any sword & sandal peplum soundtrack ...

Hi Zardoz. There are three tracks on your link. I am new to soundcloud (like you i created an account to do this quiz) but i think you need to click on the individual track you want to post and use that URL. I am guessing that it is the 2nd track that you want us to guess. My guess is Rustichelli

Greetings, Mark.

I posted that link after I uploaded my 1st track, but then I uploaded a few more soon after and didn't intend for them to be there at the same time.
Since I've disclosed the 1st one, I'll chat about the 2nd one now.

You are also close, but it's not by Rustichelli.

I was expecting a comment (from anybody) that this track sounds like Leonard Rosenman, but you & BillCarson already peeped it's Italian. smile

Bruce, If you are a Siegmeister fan is there any chance of getting a cd release of that wonderful lp American Life with works by Siegmeister, North, Jacobi, Cowell, and Antheil?

Not Converse, not Siegmeister. Not American.

... Not American.

Perhaps South American - such as Brazil?

Could it be Heitor Villa-Lobos?

Ding ding ding - we have a winner. This gorgeous bit of scoring is from his B'way musical Magdalena and is from an orchestral suite conducted by Andre Kostelanetz - an album on CD that I highly recommend.

If you don't know Villa-Lobos you should. He's a genius and all his music sounds like movie music. He wrote the score for Green Mansions, but it was mostly discarded, replaced with a score by Bronislau Kaper - eventually, Villa-Lobos reworked his score into Forests of the Amazon - and that piece is amazing.

Well, I do know much of V-L's works, but I'm more of a Choros guy than a Broadway guy so I wasn't familiar with Magdalena.

Magdalena was written for Broadway but (similar to, say, Candide) it's effectively an opera. It doesn't matter too much, I actually love it regardless...

And to be pedantic, Villa-Lobos actually wrote another film score - for a documentary called "Discovery of Brazil", which he subsequently made into four suites (they've been recorded, unsure how much different they are then an score proper). It's great too.
(Though to be fair, you DID say 'feature film score').

Also of course speaking of Green Mansions, he reworked the music into a concert work called Forest of the Amazon which is another favorite of mine (and that has two fantastic recordings).

Here is my second mystery track if anyone want try to guess.
It is LP rip so quality isnĀ“t best but music is beautiful.

Is that a John Addison concert work from the early 60s?
