Lex de Azevedo is an American Mormon composer known primarily for his film scores. He was born in California, the son of Alyce King of The King Sisters by her first marriage. He composed the score for Where the Red Fern Grows, which appeared in 1974. His most ambitious film project was The Swan Princess, which was directed by Richard Rich. This was a full-blown animated musical, with original music and a version of the first movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 "Pathétique" for the crocodiles-in-the-moat sequence.
