Taken from another source is the closing credit sequence from ATWT (with orchestral music) that was used from 1973-81.

  • Simply beautiful......so long gone are the great soap opening & closing theme music........no wonder the soaps are dying today.........very sad to see for what was once an American Icon........

  • The beauty of this theme is in its simplicity. The theme is played by the whole orchestra, then the horn takes it, the orchestra responds, the piano takes the theme, the orchestra responds, the violin takes the theme and the orchestra responds. This is a fine piece of music, far greater than anything heard on TV now.

  • Good stuff !!

  • The most regal music ever composed for a soap fit perfectly the greatest soap of all time.

  • @rockhopper10r And as all that is happening, the world turns.

  • GREG MAY of Orlando, FL says: "My mother, the late Ruth May, never missed an episode of ATWT. She got hooked while she was awaiting my 'debut' into the world in 1956 when my dad bought her a 20-inch Motorola TV while she was on maternity leave from Kroger's in Winchester, Kentucky.  I am pleased to have been able to get them tickets to see Eileen Fulton (Lisa) when she brought her cabaret act to Orlando in 1977."

  • i think this closing is from 1978 or 1979...

  • If they had had colour TV in 1950, it would have looked like this.

  • Is this is a real song all unto itself? Does it have a name? I used to watch ATWT everyday from '83 until sometime in the late '80s. Of course, this song was no longer used by then. I do remember this song from the early '60s when I was a very small child. Someone must have watched this in front of me but I don't remember it really. I like it because it is a nice tune and because it takes me back MANY MANY years ago to a much simpler time.

  • GREG MAY of Orlando, FL says: "While my mom was expecting me in 1956, my dad bought their first TV - a 20" Motorola. RUTH MAY got hooked on AS THE WORLD TURNS from its very beginning. In 1977, after we were living in Orlando, I bought my parents tickets to go see EILEEN FULTON. She was performing in Orlando. My parents talked about seeing 'Lisa' for years afterwards."

  • Good God, this is such beautiful music, it actually brings tears to my eyes

  • 0:51-0:56 is beautiful.
