        El Alamein - symphonic prelude composed by Ian Parrott, who attended Harrow School;
        Aladdin - a musical composed by Sandy Wilson, who also attended Harrow School.

                          Well Robin Hood and a K makes one think at once of Mr Korngold... score, film, for the use of.

                          .

                          Edit (post-googling): ah! Erich Wolfgang also wrote songs entitled:

                          Vespers (1911)

                          Unvergänglichkeit ("Immortality"), Op. 27 (1933)

                          "...the isle is full of noises,
                          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
