My ‘familiars’, or composers who I can spot from hearing their stuff (new or old), 9 times out of 10, would be…
My Holy Trinity… Williams, Horner, Goldsmith.
The 3 Newmans (Thomas, David & Randy).
The obvious ones… John Barry, Leonard Rosenman, Maurice Jarre.
Also, Bruce Broughton, Lee Holdridge, Elmer Bernstein, Danny Elfman, Alan Silvestri, Bill Conti, Michael Kamen, JNH.
I’d also flag the likes of Ennio Morricone, Pino Donaggio, Patrick Doyle, more often than not.
There are probably many others I’ve overlooked.
But never George Fenton!! 😉
