Paul's prolific output of library music ranges from 'straight' orchestral to small-group jazz, covering every facet of dramatic mood inbetween.

His earliest pieces, recorded from 1962 onwards, were used regularly in Pathé Newsreels, for which he composed heroic marches and symphonic industrial music: the Severn Bridge was opened, Sir Francis Chichester knighted on Plymouth Hoe and Prince Charles invested as Prince of Wales at Cærnarvon Castle to Paul's music.

Some suites, such as 'History Book of Music', 'Music of the Victorian and Edwardian Era,' (De Wolfe) 'Television Tensions' and 'Palm Court Selection,' (Studio G), have been in constant use ever since they were first issued in the 60s.

Paul Lewis pieces are to be found on the following labels: De Wolfe, Studio G, Chappell's, Boosey Media, Weinberger, Southern Music/Bruton, Bosworth, Mozart Edition, Chandos Music and Paxton/Atmosphere Music.

Some of the cinema films which have used Paul's library music:

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (Mr. Creosote's throw-up theme)
And Now For Something Completely Different (man with a tape recorder up his nose)
Time Bandits (ship's orchestra as 'Titanic' sinks)
Jabberwocky (monster theme)
Murder by Decree
The Howling II
