This week’s vintage production music library tracks include a song by composer Richard Harvey (“Sun Giver”), a founding member of the prog rock band Gryphon, who make heavy use of Renaissance instrumentation. Here's a clip of the band’s recent reunion tour (Harvey is on the right playing keys & other instruments).
We also feature a listener request for the title track of the long-running UK kids’ show “Grange Hill,” written by prolific production music composer Alan Hawkshaw. Hear the title track (“Chicken Man”) in context here:
