The New Statesman theme

Recreation of the 1987 The New Statesman theme tune. I created this in Cubase in January 2017, finishing it off in February 2019 and used the HALion Sonic SE and AlanViSTa Hand Crash VST instruments for the sounds. The theme is Alan Hawkshaw's arrangement of ‘Promenade’ from the ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ suite by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (1839-1881). This version was created by Oliver Sacker.
