The BJ Leiderman Public Radio Sampler

[BeezoHow]

Morning Edition is one of my favorites - but I love them all! Would buy a CD if it was available!

[Alexander160]

BJ, why don't you put up the music on iTunes so that we can buy it. I guess a full 3 minute version of the morning edition theme would bring you some extra dollars (especially, if you could convince the radio people to mention it! ;-)

[ly776]

The sound of waking up, weekend chores, and drive time.  Great stuff!

[kappelmeister123]

@ly776 what chores?

[ly776]

@kappelmeister123

Saturday morning cleaning is all done to the sounds of Weekend Edition, Car Guys and Wait, Wait.

[kappelmeister123]

@ly776 bless thee...i listen to npr on the way to work

[rucia85z9]

I love NPR Morning Edition Theme best:) It sounds like a morning breeze ....

[kappelmeister123]

@rucia85z9 my sincerest hope is that like a morning breeze the NPR morning edition starts your day on a good note

[loriangans]

Thanks for the tip that the music is on NPR's website, but I haven't been able to find the piano solo. Can you help me find it, please? Thanks a ton! Lorian

[loriangans]

I LOVE this, BJ!! I admit my fave is the Weekend Edition piano solo - where can I find it? When I listen to a story from the show hoping to hear it, the music isn't included. I'd love to be able to listen to it and learn to play it. And I am looking forward to your CD! Thanks so much for all your great music!!

[SlickTherapy]

Please tell me the Morning theme is on Itunes or Amazon. Either one.

[thevisualboy37]

@SlickTherapy It's actually on NPR's website.

[RareLostMusic]

Love all the themes, but the morning edition theme (old and new) is my favorite!

[gavreh]

The Weekend Edition theme is great! Nice job BJ

[ArkNM79]

Love 'em all, but Weekend Edition Saturday is the best ever!

[thefamilyk]

Morning edition theme! Gotta love it

[rask330]

For what it's worth, I'd absolutely buy a CD of all the themes you've composed for various shows. :)

[sycamorenick]

Love the Morning Edition theme!

[thyssenelevator95]

The Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me! Theme is the best!!

[PhysStud2006]

The wait wait dont tell me theme song is by far my favorite

[jubei444]

I love the music, it actually get's me choked up. Literally cry a bit on saturdays when it kicks in after wait wait don't tell me. You're awesome BJ!

[bjleiderman1]

@jubei444

Who ARE you, and where do I send the check? Thanks for your kind comments. When I think of how long ago I did that theme, I start to cry too.

I'm working on my debut CD. Let me know if you'd like to be notified.

All best,

BJ

I've always wanted to get a copy of the piano arrangement of Weekend Edition. It it available anywhere?

[tyty1794]

I love the Morning Edition tune wouldn't mind having it as my ringtone. Also the one played on APM:Marketplace when the the stock market figures are flat or slightly down. Great work.

[chazzbro]

I absolutely LOVE the closing theme to Weekend Edition Saturday. It's ON MY IPOD. That's how much I love it! ;-)

[nightfly776]

How about the original Morning Edition theme arrangement? Great work, BJ. Your music IS the sound of NPR.

[Ian16545]

@nightfly776 How about also including the jazz version of the Morning Edition theme (heard here at 2:30)?

[NickWilliam89]

I like these tunes, where can i get them?

[ChiliBass]

Awesome! I'm practicing various NPR jingles to play on electric bass while our singer/guitarist tunes between songs. But where's the Here and Now theme?

[bjleiderman1]

Chili,

Didn't do the Here & Now theme, but that's neither here nor there.

Best,

BJ

[CrimsonFury006]

My favorite is from 1:12 to 1:31. I like waking up to and listening to Morning Edition every weekday morning. It's much better than The Today Show. TV is such a big distraction in the morning.

[NickWilliam89]

Hey same here, I love the beat to that one, other than that, Weekend Edition is okay.

[crewwhatsyourexcuse]
