John Lunn - Little Dorrit Theme
While cleaning files in the downloads folder, I accidentally stumbled upon this little piano piece. I played it immediately, recorded it, and then decided to find out who the composer was. It's quite peculiar because, until today, I knew nothing about John Lunn or the films for which he wrote the music. It's always good to learn something new :)
John Lunn is a Scottish composer, known for his soundtrack work for television. He was formerly a member of "systems music" band Man Jumping.
He began composing for BBC Scotland in the late 1980s, with Beatrix: The Early Life of Beatrix Potter (1990) and The Gift (1991). His work also includes music for the television series Hamish Macbeth (1995-1997), Lorna Doone (2000), North Square (2000), Cambridge Spies (2003), Bleak House (2005), Hotel Babylon (2006), Little Dorrit (2008), Downton Abbey (2010-2015), Waking the Dead (2011), The White Queen (2013), Shetland (2013), Grantchester (2014), The Last Kingdom (2015), and Belgravia (2020).
Lunn has won two Emmy Awards, in 2012 and 2013, both for the Outstanding Music Composition for A Series (Original Dramatic Score), each for an episode of Downton Abbey. He was nominated three other times: Outstanding Music Composition For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Special (Original Dramatic Score) for Little Dorrit in 2009; for Outstanding Music Composition for A Series (Original Dramatic Score), for Downton Abbey, Episode 8 in 2014; and Outstanding Music Composition for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special (Original Dramatic Score) for The White Queen in 2014.
His music for Sky TV's Going Postal was winner of Best TV Score in the 2010 RTS Awards and was nominated for a BAFTA and an Ivor Novello award. The BBC adaptation of Dickens' Little Dorrit was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Outstanding Original Score
