Malcolm Arnold (1921 ~ 2006)

[arnoldbax (arthurbliss)]

British composer Malcolm Arnold died on September 23. For those who love 20th
Century classical music as well as classic British film, this is a significant
 loss. Arnold worked twice for director David Lean, composing the scores for
Hobson's Choice and Bridge of the River Kwai. For Carol Reed, Arnold scored
Trapeze and The Key. In a lighter vein, Arnold composed the scores for the
"St. Trinian's" series - rowdy comedies about a private girls school with some
 very naughty students. Arnold retired from composing for films at the end of
the Sixties in order to concentrate on his more serious composing as well as
conducting chores with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Arnold won the Academy Award for his music for Bridge on the River Kwai, and
was knighted in 1993.
