Please help identify this music clip?
9 Answers
I attach a link to a music clip I've uploaded onto YouTube. I still haven't discovered where this music is from (it is only a very short clip I'm afraid).
The clip is from a 1998 tv show called PirateTV which played this preview tape of a film about skiing by Warren Miller. The actual film does not use the same music as the clip. Even Warren Miller's production company didn't recgnise this music so any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Thank you.

Don't recognise the clip - but it's highly likely that this is a piece either custom-written for the programme, or an 'off-the-shelf' clip of the type which are made available by a number of studios.
Both sources are popular with programme makers because they are generic, and cheaper to use that commercial pieces, which often demand a large fee and / or royalty payment for use.
The problem is, such pieces are not commercially available, so you will be unable to get a copy of it.

Thank you andy-hughes. I suspected it's something like that. One reply I did get on another site was that it may have been by someone called Richard Fortune who writes custom pieces for programmes. I shall just have to search for pieces by him. Thanks again though. Maybe I should email him this clip directly. Doh! Didn't think of that :)
You're welcome - sorry to be the bearer of potentially bad news.
When I was growing up, before i discovered popular music, I loved endless pieces from the TV and films, and in those days (when you got run over by a Hansom cab if you weren't using your lorgnettes!) and you couldn't get any of them - no YouTube and downloads then!

Crikey andy-hughes - hansom cabs? lorgnettes? And I thought I was old with my plus fours, spats and Oxford Bags!
Seriously though - the start of my collecting popular music involved a sign on my door saying 'Keep Out - recording in progress'. My Vesta radio and Waltham cassette recorder with microphone eagerly waiting for Donna Summer to feel love!!
