Question

A CHALLENGE FOR THE EXPERTS: can anyone identify this Alfred Hitchcock soundtrack?

I'll be grateful and amazed if anyone knows it, as all my enquiries so far have
drawn a blank!

What's the title of the music accompanying the "Vintage Films" sound reissue (c.
1930–1950) of Alfred Hitchcock's silent film The Lodger (1926)? It's a well-
edited needle-drop score of a pre-existing recording. There are a couple of
particularly memorable cues at the 2 and 5 minute mark:

I'm familiar with Ashley Irwin's custom score and I'm afraid this isn't it. I actually
wrote about all the specially composed scores present on official releases here:
