This appeared before an airing of The Phantom of the Opera (1943) on TCM years ago

This fanfare was composed by Jimmy McHugh.

I saw this intro and fanfare on AMC when they showd the 1943 version of The Pahntom Of The Opera

This used to play on pay cable channels with the words "Pay Television" under the Universal name.

@51512601:"Willow",released in the US by MGM,was never part of the MCA/Universal catalog. Could you be thinking of "Legend"?

[51512601]

The 1988 film "Willow" used this same intro.

[ShaDeed329]

Really?!

[51512601]

@ShaDeed329 Yes, I remember when it premiered on cable ( I think Showtime around '89 or '90), it was this music with the Universal logo. I don't know any other film though that used it.

[ShaDeed329]

Wow, I didn't know that!

[BoyMeetsWorldVault]

I like it!

This music sounds so much like the Superman theme to me.

[egb50000]

@burger414 Same here, the first 8 seconds of it anyway sounds like John William's Superman theme
