Next Stop: one movement of contemporary classical. https://soundcloud.com/thunder-butler/sets/mystery-cue Who do you think wrote it? Don't look at me, Z. I got nothing, and Shazam got nothing. Much as I still have the taste for this sort of thing once in a while, and I enjoy the relatively clear construction, I don't hear anything distinctive to separate it from all the other music like this written in the last 50-70 years. More of the same mournful, disjointed crash-bang, I'm afraid. The post-WWII zeitgeist of "all the other music like this written in the last 50-70 years" is rather the core of my music collection - my specialty, one might say. I expect you might accrue a little more interest in this music after I reveal the composer and some background info...

Reveal: Marius Constant's Turner - Three Essays for Orchestra (1961) from Citadel Records. While many folks are familiar with Constant's CBS library tracks due to their usage for THE TWILIGHT ZONE, I daresay most have not heard much, if any at all, of his concert works. Mr. Constant was also important as a conductor of a French ensemble which performed modern works.

For anyone interested https://soundcloud.com/user-383746155/wotizit50/s-B9Z5i Wotizit? Initially, I got the impression of Impressionism (of the prior-to-WW I variety). Then I heard the Ondes Martenot and think it's probably from the 1930s. So methinks it was a French composer writing a piece for the then-'new' electronic instrument.

Spinmeister beat me to it! I was just listening to this piece the other day - all of Ibert is interesting and most of it is excellent!

Stanley Black or ken Thorne? Nope. Not a British composer. Schifrin, Rosenmann, Lascalles? Nice try, BillC. We hear/read much about Richard LaSalle ripping off Goldsmith and others, but my clip isn't written by any American. Both you and Damian are barking up the wrong trees. (You should, rather, be closer to the pines of Rome )
