Shangani Patrol

My first feature film score, written in South Africa in 1970 when I was 24 years old. Note the brilliant trumpet playing of Eddie Calvert, "the man with the golden horn". He was living in Johannesburg when we recorded this. Dan Hill wrote the 8 bar opening part of the main theme which I then turned into the overture and used as basic source material throughout the movie along with variations on the Matabele chant that is in the opening sequence. The score was subsequently bought by Chappell Music to become part of their background music library. I sent a copy of the lp of this music to Ernest Gold in Hollywood and had a delightful and helpful letter back advising me to move there if I wanted to continue writing film music - something I never did, preferring to stay in South Africa.
