Damian - completely unknown to me (composer and work, not surprising, since it isn't in the movie).[/endquot That was the novelty value

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. How nice to read this! I think you'll really enjoy the Unsung albums and the Lost in Boston series. There's also an Unsung Sondheim and Unsung Irving Berlin in that series.

Here is the new mystery clip. I only came to know this composer last year and I really, really like his music. This composer is a classical composer, but does have an iMDB page with a few credits, as some stuff has been used in films - and it appears there that this composer is actually writing their first film score this year. Enjoy this one. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dflgk4ybq912m7f/New%20Mystery%20Track.mp3?dl=0

This sounds VERY familiar but again, I'm stumped. Obviously a living composer given the comment....but I can't think of anyone it'd be. I even went though my library and browsed through stuff that matched the time (though if this is a different recording that wouldn't help,. granted) and got nothing. Michael Daugherty (as I guessed above)? Lowell Libermann? Christopher Rouse? Probably none of these... None of those Yes, he's male. Certainly not a young man, although today eighty is considered young so what do I know from young? He's English. While I love his orchestral work, it is not what made him famous.

A lovely piece of music, quite beautiful. Without even listening to it, I wondered if it would be Karl Jenkins, as he had to be about 80 (are you saying the composer is actually 80 ? or just knocking on a bit ?), but then he is is Welsh not English. And having played the piece a couple of times it really does not sound much like him. No choral stuff anyway !! Anyway, after listening to the piece, I am taking a punt on Thomas Ades, very different to his usual stuff, but enough there to think it could be him on an exceptionally good day (I'm not a fan)....but then I have to say that doesn't fit in with your other clue, about what made him famous, because he isnt, very. Still i will stick with him, but as I dont think its him, ask for another clue, and ask if maybe he is famous for his work in another type of music - ie is he one of those 'pop' musicians who have turned to 'classical' ?

This composer is in his early seventies and is not Thomas Ades. I first heard this person's music on a local radio station - I always listen to the radio just before bed, while playing on my iPad. I can't remember the piece, but I was quite taken with it and immediately got out of bed, went to Amazon and ordered a bunch of CDs.

A new clew: As I said before, I discovered this fellow through his orchestral music - but he is really known for his choral music.

The British light music album Bruce links too is also part of a five disc compilation which I was just able to snatch up cheap used.

Hi, Sean. Does Shazam help you any with my current cue (it's the 1st movement of a harp concerto/symphony)?

It does, Zardoz. I had missed listening to your latest post until just now and it is another stumper for me. Luis de Pablo, Danzas Secretas for harp and orchestra. Another cool find, thanks for posting. Plus it is part of Claves' Basque Music Collection series, so lots more to check out.

This has been a fascinating thread. I really admire the breadth and depth of the musical knowledge the participants in this topic have demonstrated. I feel very ignorant. You ALL have so MUCH knowledge of various composers. Bravo to all of you. (Should any of you ever post the Really Hard stuff like the Pink Panther theme, the main theme from The Magnificent Seven, the main James Bond theme, or themes from Jaws, Star Wars, Superman (Williams), Indiana Jones, To Kill A Mockingbird, The GB&U, I'll try a guess.)

I did not know that about Pablo's film work, especially both Saura and Beehive - very interesting.
