As I've done research on theme park music, one of the issues I often run into is that it's hard to find information on who composed much of the music. Sure, we know the big ones- Broughton, Bellis, Smith, Debney, etc, but for smaller things it can be difficult. For instance I still can't find out who composed/arranged the Epcot entrance music that's been in use since the millennium celebration ended- according to the OA booklets it's someone with the last name "Woods" (not terribly helpful).
So I was thinking it would be nice to start a list, a database if you will, of who wrote what for what. I've started going through my music library and trying to fill in composer information for the tracks. Here are just a few I've done so far, by no means complete, and I'm hoping others will chime in to add to it:
Bret Simmons
At The Happiest Place on Earth (DL Pre-Parade)
Mickey's Magic Kingdom Celebration (pre-cursor to Parade of Dreams)
Disney's Luminaria
Bruce Broughton
Ellen's Energy Adventure
Honey I Shrunk the Audience
Spaceship Earth (2007)
O' Canada (2007)
Seasons of the Vine
Bruce Healey
Fantasmic!
Light Magic
Dan Foliart
The Bakery Theme (The Boudin Bakery Tour)
Tomorrowland BGM (2001-Present)
Ed Kalnins
The Seas with Nemo and Friends (attraction)
Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage
Edo Guidotti
Delta Dreamflight
Gavin Greenaway
Illuminations: Reflections of Earth
Tapestry of Dreams/Tapestry of Nations
BraviSEAmo!
Gregory Smith
Wishes
John Debney
Phantom Manor
Disneyland: The First 50 Magical Years
Jonathan Sacks
Monsters Inc: Mike and Sulley to the Rescue
Joseph Alfuso
Disney's Steps In Time
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parade
Mark McKenzie
Stitch's Great Escape
Richard Bellis
Reflections of China
Star Tours
Indiana Jones Adventure
Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular
Gran Fiesta Tour with The Three Caballeros
Lights! Motors! Action!
ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter

As I said, that's just a few to get started, by no means complete (most of these composers have only a couple of their theme park works listed). It really starts to get interesting though, IMO, when you see that different projects you may not have connected were written by the same composer.
