Not too sure if we will ever be certain just who wrote what on BOB; Walton was always a lazy, slow-to-write composer who would have been delighted when his old friend Malcolm offered to assist in the orchestration, arranging,"touching up", conducting and even part-composing the score.
Originally just involved in the orchestration - as offered by Arnold - he later admitted, "and when William was stuck I helped him along." Arnold was also asked to extend the score (it was considered too short by UA, mainly for a soundtrack album they wanted to issue), and the last third of the "Battle in the Air" sequence is in his hand, not Walton's. Walton was heart-broken by the treatment received from UA, who decided on Goodwin to replace him, "music to give them a better rake-off", according to Arnold.
Walton and Arnold had been friends for many years (the latter had also completed the orchestration of Walton's String Quartet (into the
Sonata for Strings
, first recorded by Neville Marriner).
