FILMS

I don’t think of myself as a film composer. One has only to look at the short list below to realise that I am not alone in my thinking. I composed the music for Alan Parker’s first film, “Footsteps”, after which he said how terrific my score was and how much he looked forward to us working together again very soon. That was thirty-seven years ago. Still, I’m a patient man.  Denis King

Fact of the Day
Denis worked with Sir John Betjeman, who was asked to write a lyric for a TV theme of Denis' but the partnership was shortlived as after two months Sir John had only come up with four words, but apparently they had a good lunch together.
