love Ski sunday!!

[bigbeef30]

Is it true to say this piece of music did more for this sport than the sport did for itself? As a junior this music hooked me to a sport I had no chance of ever taking part in or ever dreamed of trying out simply because my parents were not in the financial position it required.

Sod all the toff's that got that chance, the music bettered the lot of you.......

ski sunday - legendddd

As a kid I was always mystified why this theme was put out with that horribly (and obviously) flat counter melody, I still am. It kicks in around 7 seconds from the beginning and repeats throughout. YUCH!!

[iMarc89]

You mean the bit on the organ counter melody? The quavers under the main theme? If so, that's not flat at all. It's only as flat as the instrument it was played on.

The organ has a dull tuning compared with the bright tuning of the rest of the orchestra. In actual fact, the timpani are far worse than the organ, but both are still tuned correctly. No flat notes.

[BaddaBigBoom]

I remember this theme well from my youth because of that HIDEOUSLY FLAT counter melody (the one that kicks in about 7 seconds in) I'm still mystified that they released and used it with this obvious defect !!...UK TV sports music -YUCH!

[EarlGreyIII]

Anyone know the name of the tune?

[andy260965]

Hi - see 'more info' section for this.

"The music should be recognisable to most as the theme to the BBC series 'Ski Sunday', although the title of the track is less well-known. It's called 'Pop Looks Bach' and was composed by Sam Fonteyn."

@EarlGreyIII

Ski Sunday

It's one of many theme tunes the BBC producedin the 60s and 70s for programs featuring football, cricket, snooker, tennis and various other sports . (The Brits love their sports). Obviously given the title it was made for the one dedicated to skiing.
