WeirdoAudio Archive

Inderdaad, een nieuwe rubriek. Nu ik een USB-platenspeler heb, is er geen enkel excuus meer om geen audio te posten op dit blog. Met de vorm wordt de komende weken misschien nog een beetje gestoeid, maar hier is in ieder geval de eerste track.

Roger Roger – Arabian Pony Ride [mp3 download]

Het nummer is afkomstig van volume 22 uit de reeks Chappell Mood Music.

In 1955, Chappell Music hired Roger Roger to write for their Mood Music library, and he eventually wrote and recorded nearly 20 albums for Chappell. Some of these pieces were used in the BBC’s Trade Test Transmissions, and became favorites of fans of what’s known as “Test Card” music. Compositions such as “Bolero,” “Laissez-Faire,” “Reine de Musette,” and “Mademoiselle de Paris” were regularly used in these broadcasts. He also composed for the Canadian production publisher Parry Publishing and the American Major Mood Music library, often taking the pseudonym of Cecil Leuter.
