Randall Thompson?
Good guess, but no. Ballpark correct, however. Did Thompson actually score documentaries?

Whoops, wrong guy. I meant to say Virgil Thomson.
Sigh...
Not Virgil  Right ballpark, though, kinda sorta. This composer won an EMMY.

After finding I didn't recognize Bruce's latest, I looked it up in my usual way. I found I actually own the album and have listened to it a number of times over the years. And still I didn't recognize it. For whatever reason, this composer's sound just doesn't have a lot of individual character to my ears, though I always enjoy his music when I listen to it.
As to the series this album is part of from some years ago, I always tend to return to the first volume, but for the less familiar work with Night in the title. And if that clue is not obscure enough, I can translate into pig latin.

Again, Sean learns who the composer is - and DOESN'T tell us.
The composer is Norman Dello Joio, isn't this so?

Because I cheat, and Bruce said no cheating. And yet I prosper by knowing what it is early, go figure.
And yes, it is Stormin' Norman.

Ding, ding, ding. I love his music. We issued a couple of things on Bay Cities back in the day, and I'm thinking of issuing a whole CD of his stuff. And if you haven't heard his Air Power score, it's really wonderful - not in the more recent recording, though - the classic Columbia stereo with Ormandy conducting. It's on CD on Albany Records. I have another fun one ready to go.

Damian, I didn't recognize this one either. Would have said David Shire or Arthur B. Rubinstein, 70s-80s, but I'm pretty sure it's not either.

It's a suite of a film score with a bit of a novelty.value , I think.And it's not Shire.or Arthur B

...is he perchance Australian ?
He would and not mentioned by me previous ( I think)

I thought so. I am pretty sure it is George Dreyfus, I have a couple of CDs of his and it sounds like him, but it isnt anything that I have, so I couldnt say what film it is.
Tis he.It's his unused score for Tender Mercies.It is from the film music of... vol2

Yep, once I found out what it was, I had to find a copy of the Dreyfus album on ebay - this is one kind of film music that always makes me happy - well sad/happy if you know what I mean. Thanks for sharing that one, Damian - completely unknown to me (composer and work, not surprising, since it isn't in the movie).

Bruce: plus, your Soundcloud account transitioned to Lion Tamer, a favorite song of mine (I was a teenage amateur magician when The Magic Show came to town back in the day). That led me to your Stephen Schwartz album, which I had completely missed but which is now wending it's way to me. Delightful!
Resurrecting this early post because I just listened to some of this album this morning, and it is just first rate, song after song. This was just an incidental benefit of Bruce starting this thread, that soundcloud sent me to that after the first mystery clip.
I have any number of your albums, including many of the Terry Trotter Jazz/Sondheim (and Williams and Legrand), the Sherlock Holmes comp., etc. Bu I don't think I ever picked up any of your song albums until now.
So much to discover - I've ordered a couple of the Unsung Musicals, and next will be the Lost in Boston series, plus some of those of yours on Kritzerland. For anyone who enjoys show tunes at all, these are terrific albums. (I know, I've only heard one so far, but still.)
And the Schwartz album is worth it just for The Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas (a good loss leader to get you into the store and hear so many great Scwhartz songs).
Ok, back to mystery clips.
