Показать описание
Going off-script from the usual postings here. For those that grew up on PBS in the 1980's and 1990's, many of you remember the NewsHour.

This is an HD remake of the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour intro with a modified version of the original opening theme I found.

The theme is composed by Bernard Hoffer and the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra.

I was scared of this tune when I was young. Despite that it's a little piece of TV history for me. Hearing it meant the children's programming on PBS was over for the day and dad was about to be home from work.

When I was in undergrad I would race home from class to watch this great and informative telecast. I would place a tape recorder up to my television and write notes.

This theme was like the perfect close of the day. 'Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego?' was the last of the kids shows that would air on PBS in the early to mid 90's and this theme would belt out a few minutes later as if to signal the official start of the evening. Such a classic & powerful piece; just within those first few notes. I would watch the first couple minutes of the broadcast & the close just for this theme.--Imagine my surprise years later when I found out the composer to one of my all-time favorite cartoons (Thundercats), Bernard Hoffer, composed it! 😁 Genius.

MacNeil: Good Evening, I'm Robert MacNeil in New York.
Lehrer: And I'm Jim Lehrer in Washington. On the NewsHour tonight...

First-rate work here, it is very close to the original. Such a great theme song, too, composed by Bernard Hoffer, sad they got rid of this rendition of the theme years ago!

They used music like that in the NEWSHOUR from 1983-May 2006 when they changed the music for the NEWSHOUR

You think can do a remake of the 1988 theme to Sale of the Century and the full closing theme to Wink Martindale's High Rollers?

Any chance of doing the Black/Orange/Yellow variant from the Early 80s, or any of the opens from the 70s? Here's a video if you need reference...
