Here is a list of the works of Ilona Sekacz. S/he wrote music for the cinematic version of P.D. James’s A Certain Justice … for some reason, a part of the music popped into my head again a long time after I saw that show.

Ilona Sekacz wrote the score for a BBC TV version of ‘Northanger Abbey’ with Peter Firth. The music stood out a mile. A wonderful, haunting voice with a pulsing rhythm that has has stayed with me since I first saw the programme back in the 80s (I think). I could hum it now. I have tried to find this music but it has disappeared into cyberspace. Such a shame, it was so memorable. I bought the video years ago just to get the music. It’s not out on DVD but I transferred my VHS so I’ll never lose it.
I love this woman’s music, it’s unique and inspiring.
I know the work you mean – never forgotten it myself. Considering I only watched the programme under duress, it has stood the test of time – 20 odd years! The DVD of Northanger abbey is available in the UK, I got it for Xmas – nice, Very Nice. Keep you eyes peeled in your locality.
