Deep Malcolm

In addition to the aforementioned movie theme, Malcolm Arnold wrote heaps of pleasant wind ensemble music which presents enough of a technical challenge that he is a favorite on student programs.

But, in the same way that people forget Gunther Schuller played on Birth of the Cool, it's a little-repeated fact that Malcolm conducted the Royal Philharmonic on Deep Purple's Concerto for Group. Apparently, when the RPO turned their noses up at the idea, it was Arnold who stood up for Jon Lord's score.
