      a passacaglia or chaconne sound to it, not Corigliano, his is for violin (or maybe viola?) and orch.
      Might be something by Piston?

Not Corigliano or Piston.

Hint: It's WWII vintage.

No, afaik, this composer never wrote for film. He primarily focused on orchestral and chamber works, with one ballet and some vocal works.

:'( Duh, that's my fault - I keep forgetting we finished off that last film composer.....

No. Here's a visual clue that should be easy for rock fans

I never heard of a composer called Van Halen, so I can't imagine what it could be

David DIAMOND?  but I don't know the work, except for the "Rounds" which this isn't.

You are right! David Lee Roth's nickname is Diamond Dave. The piece is David Diamond's powerful Brucknerian 2nd symphony.

Funny I thought of David Diamond when I saw David Lee Roth, but figured it was too far-fetched a guess

Glad to see an underperformed American composer in this game

moving on, with a quotation, I perceive, that is not mentioned in the notes for either of the recordings that I have.
The composer was not "at home" when he wrote this,
"Keep your hand on the throttle and your eye on the rail as you walk through life's pathway."

a bit more:
He was away with a "friend" for peace and quiet.      The "quotation" might now reqarded as a politically correct partner to the more obvious one usually noted.
"Keep your hand on the throttle and your eye on the rail as you walk through life's pathway."

getting really close, can you name the piece?

Not really. Is there a soloist of some kind to be introduced?

no, try to figure out what the "quotation" might be.
The tune would be common to "home" and the present (the mystery clip) and future.

Britten in USA?
time to end this...   Britten in Canada   - Canadian Carnival Overture, op. 19
I believe we are hearing a reference to 'God save the King' (the  'Send him victorious, happy and glorious' bit). the French-Canadian folksong 'Alouette, gentille alouette' makes a politically correct balance.
The later reference would be to the American use of the tune in 'My Country 'tis of Thee'

over to you
"Keep your hand on the throttle and your eye on the rail as you walk through life's pathway."

bump
try this later recording.
First one was an American LP.
... and since it's Oct. 31 already in some time zones, there is appropriately a dead body in the work(s).
"Keep your hand on the throttle and your eye on the rail as you walk through life's pathway."

It sounds familiar, I'll have to think about it.  My last one has only 9 plays, I'll wait for a dozen before revealing.  No bagpipes in it so that might have obscured the origin.
