https://monty-python-music.blogspot.com/2024/03/monty-pythons-fliegender-zirkus-episode.html

The first German episode is posted, but many are unidentified (mp3s: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19M2roewcCqt6QSkV7mzqffOXgRE3fp4m)

This includes two prominent recurring themes, for the Olympic torchbearer (FZ1b) and Albrecht Dürer (FZ1c). I suspect FZ1e is from DW/LP 3174. FZ1g is probably by John Leach, from DW/LP 3190 or perhaps Chappell C.993.

Series 3 is complete! As always, corrections will be much appreciated. I now have Cinemusic CMR 201, CMR 301, and Boosey & Hawkes SBH 3001, with which I was able to fill many gaps.

FZ1b is by Johnny Hawksworth - It's either Synchro-Fox or de Wolfe, but I've got it and will confirm later!

Every episode of Flying Circus is now posted. I have also updated the unidentified cues: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1G2ChkO_3DaQ7WulSZv7ftrQvjwITGuvk

Once all of the films, albums and remaining miscellany are posted, I plan to make a spreadsheet labeling and categorizing the unidentified cues.

I have finally started on the albums: https://monty-python-music.blogspot.com/2024/06/another-monty-python-record.html

Another Monty Python Record appears to use De Wolfe exclusively. Two which have eluded me despite much searching are the themes to "World Forum" and "The Death of Mary, Queen of Scots":

'Happy Harp' (ME.LP036) was listed by Pixley as "also cleared for use". If this is the Pearls For Swine theme, then 'Mother and Baby - Bossa Nova Beat' (Cinemusic CMR 316) is probably two separate tracks mistakenly listed as one. 'Mother and Baby' is a suitable title for the one unidentified cue; 'Bossa Nova Beat' is not. Though Shaindlin pieces are always difficult to confirm; most of them cannot be found online, and CMR 316 is not even on Discogs.

Thanks to WSBG Returns Yet Again!'s upload of the Cinemusic Composite Catalogue, I have found that there is no track called "Mother and Baby" on CMR 316. The unidentified celeste cue must be either "Perfumed Lady" or "Tomboy".

‘The Tale of. . .’ fanfare (1975) Neil Innes(?)

This is actually "Coronation" by Laurie Johnson, a KPM track.

By Jove, you're right! Thank you, AllenJ. I was not aware that any non-De Wolfe library cues were used in Holy Grail.
