What is this music?

Could someone tell me who composed this music (1:00 onwards):

If I had access to the picture credits I could definitely say but I have not.

Here is the answer. I found it in another Youtube video clip with the name of the composer written on it: L.Anderson (perhaps I.Anderson).

The Typewriter

Leroy Anderson

Thanks susanwen. I always wanted to know where this came from. Did Leroy Anderson write this music for the picture?

I found this in Wikipedia:

In 1958, Anderson composed the music for the Broadway show Goldilocks with orchestrations by Philip J. Lang. Even though it earned two Tony awards, Goldilocks did not achieve commercial success. Anderson never wrote another musical, preferring instead to continue writing orchestral miniatures. His pieces, including "The Typewriter," "Bugler's Holiday," and "A Trumpeter's Lullaby" are performed by orchestras and bands ranging from school groups to professional organizations.

Anderson would occasionally appear on the Boston Pops regular concerts on PBS to conduct his own music while Fiedler would sit on the sidelines. For "The Typewriter" Fiedler would don a green eyeshade, roll up his sleeves, and mime working on an old typewriter while the orchestra played.
