The Edge of the World (1937) - Frederick Delius

Eventyr ("Once Upon a Time")

Passages from this are heard at various times throughout the film some of which are

   2. Robbie's fall from the cliff
   3. Ruth's staring at the sea with her face superimposed over the waves.

A Canterbury Tale (1944) - Allan Gray

Peal of bells
(heard at beginning and end)

Powell and Pressburger and their production company, The Archers, started making A Canterbury Tale in July 1943. England's cathedral and church bells had been silent since July 1940, when the government ordered that they could only be rung as a warning of imminent invasion. The ban was lifted temporarily for the celebrations marking the Eighth Army's victory at El Alemein in November 1942, and finally withdrawn in the summer of 1943. However, most churches and cathedrals were unable to re-form their bell-ringing bands until 1945. Canterbury Cathedral's bells remained silent until the end, but even if that had not been the case, Michael Powell would have been unable to film them in the way he visualised his opening sequence.

'The film opens with church bells ringing and the mid-15th century polyphony Angelus ad Virginem in orchestral guise, followed by a march-like theme in the English style. This leads into a mystical semi-chorus, the pilgrims' blessing leitmotiv, uncannily resembling Holst's Hymn of Jesus. Allan Gray could have heard the Holst work, rare though it was in those days. The pilgrims' blessing leitmotiv recurs at key moments in the film. The score is rich in leitmotivs, mostly invented by Allan Gray.
'Fifty years ago I bought the prewar 78 rpm MHV gramaphone record C2098 Bells of St Margaret's, Westminster. Locating it again took some time, as did fitting my modern audio eqipment with a 78 rpm needle! Once this was done, Changes on Bells, Grandshire Caters emerged as the bell sound used at the beginning of A Canterbury Tale. Only close and repeated viewing of the film discloses that the bells are unreal and do not exactly match the sound. The trickery is convincing. Well done, Archers!'
Rodney Meadows
Former secretary of Westminster Abbey Bellringers
in 'A Canterbury Tale' - Memories of a classic wartime movie
by Paul Tritton

Bell Harry Tower, Canterbury Cathedral's central tower, was completed in 1498 and is 253 ft high - exceeding anything built in Canterbury in the last 50 years or likely to be built in the next 500. Michael Powell exercised considerable artistic licence when he decided that his Cathedral bells would ring out from here. The tower has only one bell - 'Bell Harry' itself, tolled every weekday before Holy Communion and every evening before the gates to the Precincts are closed for the night. When A Canterbury Tale was made, peals had been rung for the previous 87 years in a belfry in the south-west or 'Oxford' tower (on the left in the view along the nave roof).
The view of the nave roof and twin towers is genuine and can be enjoyed by anyone privileged to be allowed to climb to the top of Bell Harry Tower. Unless, as is unlikely, they were given permission to do so, The Archers created their shot with the aid of a photograph taken from the tower before the war. Alfred Junge's ability to use photographs and models to create realistic sets and scenery depicting real places is demonstrated many times in A Canterbury Tale.

Turkey in the Straw
(folksong heard as Agnes leaves Bob's bedroom)

Come to the Church in the Wild Wood
(Bob sings as he washes)

'The ride in the farm cart has an appropriately andante tune, signifying the road up to the bend. The same music was used again briefly in The Archers' 1945 film I Know Where I'm Going!.
Rodney Meadows

The march at the end is "Sons of the Brave" (Thomas Bidgood, 1860 - 1925). The original plan was to have The Buffs (The East Kent regiment used in that scene) play their regimental march. But that was found to have some inappropriate lyrics that the soldiers sung to it: The Buffs, The Buffs, are going away; leaving the girls in the family way; leaving the Royal west Kents to pay. Such lyrics would be known to many people in the audience in Kent and it was felt that such thoughts would have spoiled the mood somewhat ;)

Trevor Williams notes: Henry Purcell's "Hear My Prayer, O Lord" might be added to the music used in A Canterbury Tale. It's what's being sung as Peter Gibbs enters the cathedral. For years I thought it was Allan Gray's invention!

William Barlow in Austria has managed to find out some details about the March being played as the Band nears the Cathedral. It is called "Bond of Friendship". Quite appropriate given that almost everybody in the film is finding a friend. He doesn't know who wrote it but it was the Regimental March of the King's Division and has been recorded by the Band of the Royal Corps of Signals.
It has since been discovered that "Bond of Friendship" was composed by John MacKenzie Rogan.

Old Irish folk song (Yes, Irish. Michael Powell's wife, Frankie, was Irish and it was she who suggested the song when P&P were talking about "The Island Story" as they'd provisionally named the film. This led to that title being used for the film).

Prelude

Charles Williams Conducting The Queen's Hall Light Orchestra.

78: 1946 Columbia DX 1320
LP: 19?? Columbia RL3029 "Music for Films"

Now that I've heard this "Prelude" by the Queen's Hall Light Orchestra I can say that it's not exactly the prelude used in the film. It starts off the same but then wanders into a medley of music used in different parts of the film, and a few short phrases that don't appear anywhere in the film.
