This is just absolutely amazing! I'm in tears listening to what is probably one of the best tv themes ever written. You did a fantastic job. Thank you. 😊

Wow, thank you for such a great comment. I agree by the way :).. probably one of the best TV themes ever written. Thank you Denis King.

I love it. I loved it as a Kid. This is brilliantly worked out, close to the original, But captured the spirit of the piece... 👍😊👌 All by ear. That's great! I only heard about Marco de Goiej who fully reconstructed Deep Purples " Concerto for Group & Orchestra composed by jon lord 1969,but the Partiture was lost. De Goiej reconstructed by using the Video VHS tape from 1969 In these days with Software it seems to be a lot easier But work is work And you did great work on Dennis King piece of music. 👍🥂

Thank you. The software is an enabler for sure, but don't be fooled....it takes me a long time to put these covers together.

Oh my gosh! So beautiful. Used to love watching the programme. Fantastic version, well done!

Fabulous!

Truly amazing. Takes me back to my childhood, watching the TV series, in 1970.

Super played

The best version I have ever heard..... awesome

Thank you very much. It makes me happy to know you liked it. :)

top work . I've been looking around for a score of the original arrangement

I was watching this again on nigtshift, such a good version. It used to make me sad as a child watching the horse running through the meadows to this tune. An underrated theme song is the Crossroads theme tune by Tony Hatch orchestra, I love the key changes in that.

I remember my Dad had a TV themes album on vinyl when I was a young kid, and black beauty was the last track on side 2....I think I practically wore it out 😁. Crossroads? Never really appealed to me that one... Maybe I'll have to go back and re-evaluate.

@@juliancroot it never appealed to me when I was young but listening to it now I appreciate it more, although the original sounds dated. I often think about trying to do a modern version, but it sits at the bottom of my list.

@@ge0music307 I think the theme itself of the original 1970s version and general instrumentation of the same is pretty timeless - I think what makes the original version sound a bit dated is the closed hihat ticking throughout and the quick articulated ascents and descents of the woodwinds which transition some of the notes of the main melody (that the brass section does not do). I think the “doo doo / ahh” of the choir also contributes to it sounding a little dated. Any other syllables, it wouldn’t so much I don’t think. Just my $0.02, such as it is.

A fantastic version. Brilliant job!

Bravo!!! Bravissimo, Maestro!!! You should send this to Denis King, cos I’m sure he would love it!!! I didn’t think I could enjoy any version as much as the original, but you’ve added a Wall of Sound dimension to it without ruining any of the original’s Perfect Beauty!!! Well Done!!! ❤

I can appreciate how much work went into that. Totally awesome 👏👏👏

Just awesome!

Pure joy.

To think, this was once performed by an entire orchestra, and now all it takes is one guy and a keyboard.

Oh god another great show and memorable theme from back in the day, thanks again Julian.

Clever cloggs! X

Very impressive interpretation. I love the richness of the sound you have created, while staying faithful to Denis King’s original. You’ve made a lot of People happy with your music! Coming from a violinist who adored the Black Beauty theme as a child.

Thank you. It means more to me coming from a fellow musician 🙏.

An amazing interpretation of this classic theme tune bringing back happy childhood memories. Would you be so kind as to allow me to use snippets of this in an introduction to my KZread videos. All credit to yourself and to the original writer Denis King. I've bought a Triumph Rocket 3 motorcycle and have called it Black Beauty. I want to parody the original series opening with shots of the bike and this tune.

Transcendent!

anyone know where i can get the keyboard notes for this

Bardzo proszę posłuchać muzyki bo Bardzo podoba

Please tell there’s a guitar tab for this

I don't play guitar Sorry. I just work things out by ear at the piano, so I don't currently have sheet music of any description for anything on this channel.

Nearly as good as Snuff's version.
