Well, Dantoris won't be back for awhile (check out my thread called "Hmmmm . . . ." for the explanation), but through email, he wanted me to ask a question for him.Just the other night on TLC, there was a documentary on the Ark of the Covenant. It was called either "Secret of the Lost Ark" or just simply "The Lost Ark." (He came in 30 minutes after it had started, and his TV Guide did not list the TLC channel, so he doesn't know the exact title.) Dantoris really enjoyed the score (it even had a recurring theme!), and was hoping someone could tell him where to find it, if it was even available, or if anybody had a copy. He said the composer's name (from what he could read during the fast-flashing end credits) was Toby Langton-Giles. He checked at IMDB.com, and a composer by the name of Toby Gilks came up. It's possiblie it's the same composer. (How many composers can there be named Toby?)
Anyway, if anybody has any info on this score, please respond either to this message (I'll past word on to Dantoris), or e-mail him personally ( dantoris@hotmail.com ). He said he's willing to trade/buy if anybody can get him a copy.
Thanks.

I saw this as well, and thought the score was very good for a documentary. It had the recurring horn theme, the traveling cue for the Indiana Jones-like red-line-tracing-the-route-across-the-map sequences, and some other cues that popped up from time to time throughout the show. I think it'll be on again sometime this Saturday, so I plan to watch it again. Course, what they had to say about the Lost Ark itself was very interesting, but I can't wait to hear the score again.Hopefully, someone will have the answer to your (or, actually, Dantoris's) question.

I saw a good documentary on the Alamo on TLC a while back and it had a great score by Christopher Stone. Excellent. John.
