Angela Morley Wikipedia

Angela Morley (born March 10, 1924) is a composer and conductor who wrote the theme tune and incidental music for Hancock's Half Hour and also wrote and conducted music for The Goon Show. She attributes her entry into successful composing and arranging largely to the influence and encouragement of the Canadian light music composer Robert Farnon. Morley wrote the score for the 1978 film version of Watership Down. Another very short, but fondly remembered, theme was Wally Stott's 12-note 'Ident.Zoom-2' written for Lew Grade's Associated Television (ATV) and in use until the demise of ATV in 1982.

She is a transsexual woman, and was originally credited under her birth name Wally Stott. She underwent sexual reassignment surgery in the 1970s. Angela Morley lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, and has been awarded 3 Emmys for her work in television musical scoring.
