J. A. C. Redford is an accomplished composer of classical music, with many of his works making extensive use of choral elements. In film, he has conducted scores such as The Little Mermaid, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Black Beauty. In addition, he has lent his considerable orchestration skills to the scores of WALL-E, Revolutionary Road, Avatar, The Adjustment Bureau, The Help, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Iron Lady, The Amazing Spider-Man, Skyfall, Monsters University, and Saving Mr. Banks. He also provided the rich, hauntingly beautiful orchestral and choral arrangements for Adele's song "Skyfall" (written for the eponymous film). As a composer, Redford has scored for the TV show St. Elsewhere, the two Mighty Ducks sequels, Leroy and Stitch, and the animated short BURN-E. Perhaps the most prominent of his credits is Oliver & Company; in his score, Redford deftly incorporates the melodies of almost all of the film's songs (each written by a different set of songwriters), most impressively in the climactic "Pursuit through the Subway."
