NBC's Meet the Press theme - aka "The Mission Part IV (The Pulse of Events)"

[bibekd]

sounds like a final fantasy opening

[AccessDenied55]

If I had a country, I'd make this our national anthem

[MrMrmike5]

My god I remember this theme come on as Tom Brokaw came on air during events of 9/11

[FullMentalPanic]

They updated the MTP theme...now it's weak, just like David Gregory :-(

[ATRichard]

U kno when u hear this theme on Sunday or hear it when it cuts off a program on tv for a special report, that shit jus got REAL somewhere lol!

[TheComicfreak10]

Where did u find this?

[scarabY2k]

Amazing that such a great score is on a TV political show- outstanding.

[Thirsting4Jizz]

I masturbate a lot.

[BlackLeather92]

It's Sunday Morning, and a politician is heading to the studio after getting blitzed at a rager at Scalia's house. But in his hangover stupor, he forgets that he's facing Tim Russert, who's running on two Red Bulls and has an assload of documents to help fact-check. The politician sits down, this music plays, and he knows he's screwed BIG TIME.

[meyersd66]

@BlackLeather92 LOL, but so true. Russert hemmed of the best of them...

[hanyangwe]

hmm 1 dislike, is that you John McLaughlin?

[etotherescue2010]

You know something just went down or is going down if this gets played on NBC. Gives chills!

[pbrucpaul]

"Pulse of Events". Stirring and appropriate! You can't go wrong with John Williams for a theme.

[zephspacer]

this just made the news epic

[PeterSmeter]

The greatest news theme ever.

[MarioMan2010]

This song just makes me want to say "FORWARD!!! TO WAR!!!"

[randy319]

this is an NBC News Special Report...here's Matt Lauer

[quentinocama]

And remember if it's Sunday, it's Meet the Press

[gary62255]

Tv3 New Zealand had this tune shortened and used it at the end of 3 National News for its first eight years of transmission.

[scarabY2k]

I always thought @ 1:22 there was a Fzp that creshendos to a fff- guess hearing it without all the voicover stuff makes the difference.

[scarabY2k]

Thanks so much for posting this.

I've always love this theme. a great piece of music.

And I too miss Tim Russert. A man with a heart of gold.

[ORCoastGuy1]

I've always been curious as to why NBC uses the same piece of music as both a regular show theme (MTP), but also when they interrupt programming for a Special Report. Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic piece of music. But you'd think they would find or commission some variation of the overall theme to use exclusively for Special Reports.

[HeIsRJ]

Amazing...it kinda sounds like "Dual of the Fates" from Star Wars Episode 1.

[acg1112]

@HeIsRJ John Williams wrote them both.

[HeIsRJ]

@acg1112 Yes I know that, thats why I made that point lol. John Williams and Star Wars is one and the same. To have Star Wars...you have to have John Williams, without him...those films would be pretty tame lol.

[zss43]

God i miss tim russert

[DontMeanWell]

without tim russert, the show just sucks.

[ANBUPoliceForce]

This is a NBC News Special Report, Here is Brian Williams!

[ozarkskunk]

Sends chills up my spine.

[irkhanbasc]

This is perfect music to make you alert at 9 AM on a Sunday morning. Meet The Press rocks!

[AccessDenied55]

@irkhanMakes you know that some real important topics and real important people are gonna be on .

[GoldwaterB]

This really is an incredible piece of music.

[BlackLeather92]

John Williams has blessed us with this masterpiece...the ultimate tune to play when the shit hits the fan.

[TheofficialMBonline]

"Our issues this sunday..." very cool

[toordal]

I'll bet they get 1/4 of the viewers just to hear this theme song.

[AccessDenied55]

@toordal I just want to hear the theme song then I turn back to Local News or something.

[AmbivalenceHopeful]

If it's Sunday....

[dewalls1511247]

the reason god took Tim Russert is because he diddnt want Rush Limbaugh

[MishuTaste]

@dewalls1511247 SOMEBODY please take Rush Limbaugh!

[ReviewswithJake1]

God bless Tim Russert

[NeilLB7]

With the imbecile...David Gregory

[GoldwaterB]

@NeilLB7 Naw, David's a smart guy. He just isn't Sunday morning like Tim was.

David is Thursday afternoon on the Rose Garden, peppering the President with tough questions.

[NeilLB7]

Meet the Depressed!!!

[CaptainAmerica322]

I love it. So epic.

[dewalls1511247]

dude i have gotta get that as a ring tone anyone agree?

[MasterLive013]

*Deep voice*: "From NBC News in Washington this is Meet the Press with..."

[purelysophia]

Williams is a present-day musical genius.

[BVictor21]

I've been searching for this one for a while and could never seem to find it here.  Thanks for posting it. John Williams is a God when it comes to composing themes. This music give me shivers up the spine because of not only its seriousness, but because it also has a sweeping melody.

There's no one like him.

[raisedontelevision]

@BVictor21 I can't agree more. @ 20 seconds gives me chills every time I hear it. <3 John Williams so much.

[TheofficialMBonline]

I'm a big fan of news themes and john williams; I subscribed NBC Nightly News on iTunes

[antwanp]

Where did you find this clean track?  I've been searching ALL over!

[Medication102]

This is the most epic theme to start ANY news program...

[rocknrobs]

I CANNOT find this anywhere! Where did you find this!
