Richard R Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hi all, Does anyone happen to have the sheet music or a bass tab for the Ivor The Engine theme tune? If not then I'll work it out by ear and looking at the "Sample" page image I can find on Google, but figured I would ask first 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it that a request of this sort comes on this forum! I watched Ivor the Engine as a kid and loved it, especially the accent of the narrator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - Oliver Postgate was responsible for so many great Children's TV programmes, and they were all done on a very minimal budget I believe his wife knitted all the Clangers! And the "studio" in which it was recorded was an old shed... painted with a tin of paint he "liberated" from the BBC set creating department That piece of intro music is so evocative.... It just took me back, as soon as I heard it Good luck sourcing the music. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I might just buy it, but that spoils the fun. I'll need to transpose it too, as it's written for bassoon and piano and I think the bassoon is a Bb instrument like a clarinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
