This sounds like it could have been music from the underrated 1980 bomb Heaven's Gate.

This is my new favorite post-workout / post-run song.  Tremendous.

  Dude, It's AFTER the gunfight. He's on the phone waiting for the police dispatcher to get on the job!

I would suggest you find a copy of the soundtrack album from the movie "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" you will find a very common theme.

Nice tune.  Does anyone else think it sounded alot like Neil Young's "Music Arcade"?  I saw some other comments suggesting a Ry Cooder song, too.

I thought it was Ry at first too. Play more Ry!

Except it's orchestra chimes, not glockenspiel.  Still a gorgeous piece though.
