TV advert music

I'd guess the most obvious would be John Barry's The Girl With The Sun In Her Hair, a theme he wrote in the 60's and was used in variations right until the 80's for Sunsilk shampoo. The track is available on various compilations and is gorgeous.

I'll keep an ear out for the 'Zurich' ad.

Is it this advert? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGvm3dprKSI

Can't help you thought!

Lord of the Rings-ish for Breil:

Annoying ad though...

Here's the Barry tune, unfortunately I couldn't find any links with the advert which had a very different arrangement to the theme played here.

Enjoy

To me it conjures up being punted down the canals of Venice?

There was once an ad for the Discovery channel that ran about 10 years ago, starting with a sunrise, and the most extraordinary music was playing. Anyone seen it? Of course the chance of that, is around 0.00000000000000001%. But still, worth a shot.

The Copland theme used in the airline ad.

I somehow missed this thread.


Some of my favorite TV commercial music that I recall:


(unknown composer/cue):

"Legend" (original piece)
Composer: Ted Kuhn
For a Ralph Lauren Polo commercial from 2000. The piece did so well that the representatio nagency told me they had gotten hundreds and hundreds of requests for it, including a couple that wanted to play it at their wedding. The composer wanted to recorded an expanded version, but desptie the popularity, Ralph Lauren didn't fell the same. I could not find a Youtube upload of the commercial.


(unknown cue name)
Composer: Steve Ford

Walgreens had a series of commercials that became popular for their style and piece of music (an obvious rip of Elfman), for a town called "Perfect".



"Jung at Heart" (existing piece)
Composer: Peter DuCharme
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMmxuw-Yrz0

This catchy piece with synced editing, was a fun commercial.



"Clubbed to Death II (remix)"
Composer: Rob Dougan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NUh-JnrMO4

I friggin' love this commercial. Sadly, this remix of one of Dougan's most famous piece of music, Clubbed to Death, still remains unreleased to this day.



(unknown cue name)
Composer: Tony Morales

I can't find the commercial at the moment, but it was somewhere from 1997 to 2001 and was a Publix commercial at night, I think it involved camping. Short piece with strings and female chorus.




(unknown piece)
Composer: unknown

This one has frustrated me for for over a decade. Nobody seems to know and the company never replied back. It was one of those MasterCard "Priceless" commercials. It had a sad piano piece and I remember there was stock fottage of Babe Ruth. I have never been able to find a copy online. I have it on VHS somewhere, but I have no VHS player or means to convert it, so I'm stuck.



(unknown piece)
Composer: Pfeifer Broz.

This elusive peice has frustrated me and others for many years. ST: Voyager was not first or second, or even third commercial to use it. Whiel a promo or two of music from the composers has leaked, none of them have this piece. It's almost like it's a concerted effort.



"Tinker Spell" (existing library piece)
Composer: Stephen Rees
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVUYpWthE8k

It finally took this commercial, not the first to use the music, to eventually lead to solving the composer of it.
The full cue should still be up at:

(unknown cue name)
Composer: Christopher Kemp

While all the information points to him as being the composer, I swear I saw this on a different' composer's website on his video demo reel, but I've spent a year now trying to remember his name to no avail.
