Vision On - Music

Music

Despite its intended hearing-impaired audience, the show made extensive use of music for the benefit of hearing viewers watching the show. Notable themes included:

  • The opening theme was "Accroche-Toi, Caroline" by Caravelli (recorded by the Paris Studio Group).
  • The closing theme was "Java" in the versions recorded by Al Hirt and Bert Kaempfert
  • "The Gallery" – "Cavatina" originally, but "Left Bank Two" by Wayne Hill (recorded by The Noveltones) is best remembered for this sequence. When Take Hart started, "Left Bank Two" became the opening theme tune and Cavatina became the "Gallery" music for the show instead.
  • "The Burbles" theme "Goofy" by Cliff Johns.
  • "Humphrey the tortoise" theme "Merry Ocarina" by Pierre Arvay.
  • "Animated Clock" scene used "Gurney Slade" by Max Harris (the theme from the TV series The Strange World of Gurney Slade)

Famous quotes containing the word music:

    Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    ... the majority of colored men do not yet think it worth while that women aspire to higher education.... The three R’s, a little music and a good deal of dancing, a first rate dress-maker and a bottle of magnolia balm, are quite enough generally to render charming any woman possessed of tact and the capacity for worshipping masculinity.
    Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    But the dark changed to red, and torches shone,
    And deafening music shook the leaves; a troop
    Shouldered a litter with a wounded man,
    Or smote upon the string and to the sound
    Sang of the beast that gave the fatal wound.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
