Spongebob production music rescue series#
Other notable examples are the Nickelodeon animated series The Ren and Stimpy Show and SpongeBob SquarePants, which use well-known classical music excerpts and a wide range of pre-1960s production music cues, composed by Emil Cadkin-including many pieces familiar from their use in earlier cartoons-which were chosen for their ironic, suspenseful, patriotic and humorous effect. TV comedy series such as The Benny Hill Show and Monty Python's Flying Circus also made extensive use of production library cues (many sourced from the De Wolfe catalogue) as background or incidental music.Īmerican TV has also utilized production music, most notably with the themes for Monday Night Football (" Heavy Action" by Johnny Pearson) and The People's Court ("The Big One" by Alan Tew). Arthur Wood's " Barwick Green", written in 1924, still serves as the theme for long-running BBC Radio soap The Archers. The Christmas hit single based on the character Mr Blobby uses excerpts from "Mr Jellybun" by Paul Shaw and David Rogers. Well-known examples of British TV series with theme songs sourced from library catalogues include Ski Sunday ("Pop Looks Bach" by Sam Fonteyn), Dave Allen At Large ("Studio 69" or sometimes known as "Blarney's Stoned" by Alan Hawkshaw), Mastermind ("Approaching Menace" by Neil Richardson), the original theme for the BBC's Grandstand ("News Scoop" by Len Stevens), Crimewatch ("Rescue Helicopter" by John Cameron) and Grange Hill ("Chicken Man" by Alan Hawkshaw). Production music is frequently used as theme and/or background music in radio, film and television. The company originally scored music for use in silent film. The first production music library was set up by De Wolfe Music in 1927 with the advent of sound in film. Music libraries vary in size from a few hundred tracks up to many thousands.
Production music libraries typically offer a broad range of musical styles and genres, enabling producers and editors to find diverse types of music within the same library. Similarly, licensing a well-known piece of popular music could cost anywhere from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the prominence of the performer(s).

Production music is a convenient solution for media producers-they are able to license any piece of music in the library at a reasonable rate, whereas a specially commissioned work could be prohibitively expensive.
This is because virtually all music created for music libraries is done on a work-for-hire basis.
Thus, it can be licensed without the composer's permission, as is necessary in licensing music from normal publishers. Unlike popular and classical music publishers, who typically own less than 50 percent of the copyright in a composition, production music libraries own all of the copyrights of their music.
