With a public holiday comes Classic FM's "Hall of Fame" rundown tots up the votes of 150,000+ people in a popular vote of listeners' "favourite piece of classical music". Here's a list of the top 3 plus selected film entries:

1. Piano Concerto No.2 - Rachmaninov
2. The Lark Ascending - Vaughan Williams
3. Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis - Vaughan Williams

50. The Lord of The Rings - Howard Shore
72. The Mission - Ennio Morricone
78. The Gadfly - Dimitri Shostakovich
84. Dances With Wolves - John Barry
107. Schindler's List - John Williams
108. Out of Africa - John Barry
112. Gladiator - Hans Zimmer
141. Ladies In Lavender - Nigel Hess
150. The Beyondness of Things - John Barry
151. Star Wars - John Williams
155. Harry Potter - John Williams
164. Romeo+Juliet - Craig Armstrong
188. Saving Private Ryan - John Williams

240. Jurassic Park - John Williams
241. The Piano - Michael Nyman
258. West Side Story - Leonard Bernstein

Funny to see that the winner was billed in the BBC News report of the list as "Brief Encounter theme tops Classic FM poll."

I didn't realise that RVW's The Lark Ascending had been at # 1 for four years. Mozart is the most popular with twenty entries.
