                If you insist ...but you'll have to give me some time to come up with a 'U'.
                I think your 'T' is Sir Michael Tippett: A Child Of Our Time, The Rose Lake and King Priam?

                      Film music by Alan Rawsthorne
                      Where No Vulture Fly (Steel)
                      Lease of Life (Donat)
                      The Cruel Sea (Hawkins)
                      The Captive Heart (Redgrave)
                      No I was trying but never knew Rawsthorne, who I rate highly, wrote film music. I did look at him on Wiki but there was no section on film music - idle so and so that I am. Still as we say better informed!

                        This is a photograph of our village sign, restored after recent mishaps, on which my former avatar was based.
                        Now then ....a 'U' (inspired by the lady wife, so you can blame her).
                        Which 'U' links Kay Kyser, two of the Crazy Gang, and Michael Gambon (the last-named twice)?

                          Chandos released a CD (CHAN 9749) of his film music.

                                Not much time these days but at least I know now who Kay Kyser was!! That's as far as I've got though....
                                "...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..."
