Produced by Lee Hale
Conducted by Van Alexander
Arranged by Van Alexander & Geoff Clarkson
Recording Engineer: Ami Hadani
liner notes by Lee Hale
Music for television is perhaps the most diversified of all medium, because it includes almost every kind of tune imaginable.
Since TV covers all sorts of moods - children's shows, police shows, game shows, variety shows, sports shows, movie shows - the themes for these shows have to "set it all up" at the beginning, to get the viewers "in the mood" for what follows. Most of the themes in this album are original, conceived for shows yet to be televised.
We hope you enjoy the variety of music in this album and listen for the themes on upcoming shows - and you can say "you heard it here first!"
