[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 290044, member: 33"] One of the most iconic UK TV soap themes was the one written by Tony Hatch for Crossroads. I was just listening to a recording of the theme, which I've probably heard thousands of time since I first watched the show when I was still in infant school, and I noticed something about the it which I probably always knew but never really fully appreciated. The Crossroads theme in fact contains 2 independent melodies. It starts with the first tune played on one instrument and in the second verse another tune is played on a different instrument. Each tune is like a separate track going in a different direction. In the third verse both tracks crossover and play against each other for a while before separating again and continue in different directions again. So the theme tune is literally about 2 paths meeting at a crossroads! I've always loved the theme but now I realise just how clever it is. [MEDIA=youtube]M2zSWQfEsjY[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
