Interesting - never heard that version before. I don't believe it features in the K.P.M. music library in that form.
A bit of Googling reveals The Awakening is actually part of a longer work called '20th Century Portrait' by Johnny Pearson, written a few years before it was chosen for News At Ten. I don't know if this has ever been released commercially - I certainly can't find it available anywhere.

Does anyone have any more information on 20th Century Portrait, or know if it's available anywhere?
I think it was a library release only, back in the days when library music was released on good old vinyl records. I think 20th Century Portrait was one whole side of a record back then.
20th Century Portrait is available for download from filestube.com, but you must sign up with them first, I am not signed up so I don't know how reliable they are.

Here is an interesting one I found.
It is the Awakening by Johnny Pearson, the music from which a part is used as the theme to News at ten, the recognizable part that was used is from about half way through the video.
