Full title: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (UK): £500 & £1,000 Question Music (Rave Soundtrack)
Continuing with some of the game show music arrangements some of my subscribers want to hear, this is my take on a song from the British version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", when the soundtrack was updated from the original by the Strachans to a new one by Ramon Covalo, known by fans as the "rave soundtrack." This plays when the contestant begins the game and works to the first safe haven level, which was used from 2007 until the end of the show in 2014, when host Chris Tarrant retired. (When the new show with Jeremy Clarkson debuted, the soundtrack reverted to the original soundtrack.)
When this soundtrack was introduced, the number of questions needed to win £1 million was reduced from 15 to 12, and the contestant needed only two answers to get to the first safety level; that's the song I've done here. Notably, no one ever won £1 million in this 12-question method; all winners in the UK (including but not actually counting Charles Ingram, who was disqualified after it was discovered he cheated by having somebody in the audience cough) won it in the original 15 question format. Still, the soundtrack in both versions is worth listening to, and "WWTBAM?" is the most successful game show franchise in the entire world.
The way I've done it here is for:
Alto saxophone
Glockenspiel
Vibraphone
Drum set
Piano
Bass guitar

Rave soundtrack composed by Ramon Covalo
Original music composed by Keith & Matthew Strachan
