I’m with Oldfield about the film. I saw it on network TV when I was too young to be watching that and now have trouble enjoying this wonderful piece of music. It doesn’t help that I keep encountering it in odd places. For example, one dark night when I was leaving work far too late and crossing a college campus in the dark, the carillon in the clocktower began playing this and I nearly … well, fill in the blank. (Turns out there was a convention of carilloneurs and they were one-upping each other with pieces they could play on the clocktower.)
