Sci-fi is not really my cup of tea; yet while I don't really care for the show itself, often I really like the theme tune to the show. Such is the case with Doctor Who.
The Doctor Who theme music is a piece of music written by Australian composer Ron Grainer and realized by Delia Derbyshire at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Created in 1963, it was one of the first electronic music signature tunes for television. It is used as the theme for the science fiction programme Doctor Who, and has been adapted and covered many times.
Although numerous arrangements of the theme have been used on television, the main melody has remained the same. The theme was originally written and arranged in the key of E minor. Most versions of the theme - including the current arrangement by Segun Akinola - have retained the use of the original key, with exceptions being Peter Howell (F# minor) and Keff McCulloch's (A minor) arrangements.
Although widely listed in reference works, and many series soundtrack albums, under the title "Doctor Who Theme", its official title is "Doctor Who", although its initial sheet music release used the now-deprecated form "Dr. Who".
This arrangement, based on my percussion habits, is for:
Piano
Electric piano
Electric bass
2 acoustic basses
Glockenspiel
Crotales
Xylophone
Tubular bells
4 vibraphones
6 marimbas (2 grand staff, 2 treble clef, 2 bass clef)
Timpani
Battery percussion (snare drum, tenor drums, bass drums, cymbals)
Triangle
