About Anthony Dinsdale Expertise Those concerning general information and identification of 'classical' music and composers, twentieth century in particular. Other serious music, obscure composers and film scores also covered.
Experience Just a lifetime of listening and something of a talent for remembering pieces and styles.
Organizations None relevant. Shakespeare would not have spelled that with a 'z' :)
Publications Several but none relevant to this subject.
Education/Credentials None relevant. I could answer in French but have not selected this from the final drop down box as the prompt is ambiguous or just plain incorrect. I think you meant to say 'in addition to', not 'other than'.
Awards and Honors Apparently I am quite good at fencing.
I'm trying to identify a passage that could be from a work for the concert
hall, from a movie soundtrack, or even stock music. It's played at the very
beginning of this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5PmnBHZQAE
(Sorry about the voice-over; that doesn't help matters.)
Thank you for your time.
Answer Hi Brad
This general type of query seems to account for the majority of questions in terms of the answer, which is...
Not classical, most likely film-score (certainly here) and in this case very probably a bespoke composition for the film's producers.
Contacting the producer may be the only way to progree further.
