Does anyone happen to know the correct name and composer of the piano theme
music to the Peanuts/Charlie Brown cartoon? If so, I'd be grateful for that
information.

You may now return to you regularly scheduled hoo'd-win debates re: the
Avengers & the Justice League.

I found myself in a dark wood
Where the straight way was lost.
Oh, it is hard to speak of what I saw there,
Which even in recall renews my fear."

The name is "Linus and Lucy"; I don't know the composer.

Could I ask you what is possibly an incredibly stupid question? Why
on earth did you decide to post this on at least three totally
different newsgroups? So far I've found exactly the same question
posted on the Angel, and West Wing newsgroups (I haven't finished
looking at all of my groups yet) and now here.

The late Vince Guarldi.(sp?) He had a hit a few years earlier in 1962
with his own composition of "Cast Your Fatew to the Wind",Martin Denny
and Sounds Orchestral also recorded it (the latter's version was
popular about the same time as "A Charlie brown Christmas" in 1965.)
Died in 1976; his famed trombone for the adults in the school sounded
an awful lot like sweet bandleader Russ Morgan's trademark "waa waa
waa waa" (a trombone gimmick that is also present in vintage Ted Lewis
records as well-heard "Everbody Happy-When My Baby Smiles at me"
lately?:)) Vince was rather like Dave Brubeck, West coast cool jazz,
my favorite 50s modern jazz (never really went in for bebop). Guardli,
as you may guess and recall, did many LPS in the 1960s.
Since 1976 others have done music for PEANUTS,sp.Desiree Goyette and
Ed Bogas.The aforementioned Mr.Brubeck DID do some music for the
Charlie Brown miniseries, as did Wynton Marsalis and other jazz
legends.That cool jazz sure added a special dimension audio-speaking
to Peanuts.
