Master of Horrors - "The Fair-Haired Child" score
Please help this is driving me nuts! There is a baroque score 20 minutes into the Masters of Horror - The Fair-Haired Child feature on Showtime where a dark score is played. It is when the girl is being dragged through the forest to the van, and she is told " you are late for your recital". Can anyone please help me identify this score?
Thanks!!

If this is still driving you nuts, you have company. I have been driven crazier (hard to do) by that same soundtrack. I've almost got it, but please tell me you have access to the movie still.
I know that they licensed the music from a company in CA called "Point Classics." The music is public domain, and you can listen to the pieces in their catalog--exactly as they are licensed to the movies.
The problem is that I don't have access to the movie anymore. After listening to dozens of hours of cello and piano music, I'm being haunted by this stuff day and night. Please, please, please tell me if you have access to the episode! It won't be released on DVD for a bit yet, and this is becoming pathological.
Note in their catalog that scores are labelled by their originational composition--you have to click on the details to see how it is performed. (So a piece that is written Violin and Piano may have been performed as Violincello and Piano, for example.)
Also, there is one Baroque piece by Handel where the file is messed up (Sonata for Violoncello and Piano in C Major - Adagio). After 17 seconds, the sound cuts out for the remainder of the 3.05 minute piece. I wrote to Point Classics, and they were really cool about and said they were working on getting that file fixed. So hopefully, if that's the one, it's fixed by the time you get to it.
Let me know (anyone!) if you can find this. Otherwise the DSM-V (or ICD-11) is going to need a need a new chapter for people driven insane by the soundtrack of this movie. And I'm not sure if I'm joking or not.

Thank you for the response. I will go to Point Classics and try to identify the music. Yes, I have the film saved on TIVO, and was very surprised that there isn't any mention in the credits as to the song's name or composer.
Thanks again for the help. I'll let you know what I find out.

This will make your day. Shnap, it will probably make your day, week, bed, and dinner. Sure did for me. (Well, it didn't make my dinner, but who needs food when you're obsessed?)

I have to say that I have been most timid in making any forum posts. Perhaps only four forums have I posted to in as many years. And the obsession of this music compelled me to follow every dendrite hoping for a hint. Exhausting those options, I used the forum to ask Director Malone directly. I feel like I'm wasting a bank teller's time if I ask a question, let alone an established director.
Well, I'm off to reload those tracks. Let me know if the link glitched somehow.
Oh, right! The part that you'll like so much, the answer as it were. Director Malone specifies each piece of music in detail (with one slight exception on the details)!! Off to listen now!
