    I absolutely loved how certain characters had their own distinct musical sound - and this was maintained throughout the entire series. ie. I'll always recognise the theme for Toad, Adder, Mole and so forth

    Always wanted a high-quality upload of the threat/danger/suspense music from these series - was so haunting - the likes of when Vixen approaches Scarface and Lady Blue in Winter, or Scarface is chasing Adder down the hole, or Adder is stalking Scarface through the water as he drinks.
    It's so sinister but very well composed.

    • @MKtheinstrumentalist
      @MKtheinstrumentalist  5 років тому +2

      Is that the same as from the infamous Highway scene? Always loved that one but it's sadly mixed so quiet compared to everything else going on in the scene.

      @@MKtheinstrumentalist Couldn't tell you from memory alone - but it plays from about 5 seconds into this scene (until about a minute in) just after Hare says "excuuuse me, but what ARE we going to do about Scarface?" - ua-cam.com/video/cVv-WkdLU_4/v-deo.html - if that's of any help. There's a slight wobble in the audio due to the uploader having gotten this from an old VHS but you'll know the music right away and it's the easiest example I could think of that I could find quickly ^_^

    Does anyone know where I can get the sheet music? We want this played by a string quartet at our wedding! Absolutely love this programme

    • @MKtheinstrumentalist
      @MKtheinstrumentalist  7 років тому +9

      I don't _think_ any sheet music exists - at least not publically - but I _might_ be able to make some - it'd take a while though. Your best bet in the meantime would be to try and track down the composers and see if they made any - if they did make copies they'd probably be left over from the single performance by the WDR Orchestra in Berlin, but to my knowledge that would only be of the last "movement" from 4:18 onwards as that was the only part played live. I agree though, it's a _beautiful_ suite.

    • @elliemitchell5904
      @elliemitchell5904 7 років тому +1

      Thank you for getting back to me. It is very kind of you to offer to make the sheet music - how long would it take you if it's something you could do? Our wedding is 20th May. It would be so special to have the music if at all possible. I will contact the composer - do you know the best way to go about this? Thank you so much for your help.

    • @MKtheinstrumentalist
      @MKtheinstrumentalist  7 років тому

      I might be able to arrange something, but I'm not that experienced with writing for strings - I'm a pianist so I'm not familiar with their notation. There's admittedly not much to find about the composer Dennis Cooper either, in way of contact. All I've found is a photo. :-P
      If I can't get the sheet music satisfactory, would you be able to play the suite above via speakers? I know it wouldn't quite be the same as a live quartet, but in my opinion an original recording is better than a poorly written cover...

    • @elliemitchell5904
      @elliemitchell5904 7 років тому +2

      Haha - that's about as far as I got in my detective work. We do have a pianist as well. Music for him may well be enough if writing for strings is too tricky. We would appreciate anything you could do, but no pressue :)

    • @elliemitchell5904
      @elliemitchell5904 7 років тому +1

      Sorry - I've only just noticed second paragraph about the speakers. We will think about that option but it would be a shame as we have some amazing muscians who would do a fantastic job if they had the sheet music. I'm realising now what a tall order that is though!

    I love this show a lot. I stumbled across the show like 2 months ago in November 2016. The music is so beautiful I could listen to it all day. My favorite characters are mostly Fox and Badger. I also like the squirrels, Mole, Toad, Vixen and others. I do cry at some of the scenes doh, mostly the deaths. IDK if the original series aired on any of the US channels. But there was an american direct that had cut out scenes that were put into a movie. Fox, Adder, and Weasel got re dubbed. Fox sounds...ok I guess but Weasel and Adder's dubs sound terrible. There are also bland musical numbers in the american version that are annoying to listen too. sigh...At least I can watch the original British version online. It would be cool if the series was on Netflix or Hulu.
