Soundtracks
Composed by Jim Parker, the iconic main theme is a moderate-tempo waltz, performed (though not exclusively) with an unusual electronic musical instrument—the theremin—which has a sound not unlike a low whistle or a human voice. The theremin part is played by Celia Sheen. With the commencement of series fourteen, the soundtrack was altered so that during the closing titles, a standardised version of the theme is played with a solo violin in place of the theremin.
Three soundtrack CDs have been released so far, containing musical cues from various series. The first two sold out quickly and are now out of print, making them extremely hard to find. The most recent soundtrack is currently being given away to subscribers of the Midsomer Murders DVD/Magazine package in the U.K. and the Netherlands.
