    Haunting and beautiful music that sent me to the web to find out who did it. I’m especially fond of the closing theme music, which I’m looking to buy now. Great stuff! Sorry to hear that the composer is no longer alive. He had a real talent.

    @bruce – yes, it was the closing theme music for KEEP THE LIGHTS ON that got me needing to hear it again … and know who’d put this together …
