Need help I.D.ing music from old Rocket Prang Film

[George Gassaway]

One of my old Prang films used the music that is in the following clip. It starts 12 seconds in. I think I’ve also heard it used as background music for jugglers, but I have no idea what the title of it is.

For those who don’t know what a Prang film is, or a Prang, the word Prang is British for a crash, such as a plane crash (they may not use it as much now as they did years ago). I was inspired to make my Prang films after seeing Richard Fox’s Steel City Prang film in the early 1970's.

Anyway, a bonus for those who hopefully will take the time to try to I.D. the music above, here is a Prang Film Sampler I posted on Youtube last year:

by whom?

I believe "Fowler" made a prang comment in the climactic scene of "Chicken Run". Surprising little info on the term on the web (I've looked in the past in an attempt to provide links).

by whom?

By Aram Khachaturian, an Armenian. "Sabre Dance" was finished/composed in 1942. Composer was born 100yrs ago.

I knew it was classical but I couldn't place the composer. I suppose Khachaturian isn't exactly a household name.

He should be one among rocketeers - he wrote the Gayenne Ballet Suite used in the background of the beginning of the "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite" part of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
