- This is my cover / recreation of the theme tune to the UK TV show The Adventures of Black Beauty, "Galloping Home", written by Denis King in the 1970's.
I've tried to remain faithful to the main theme, while putting a little spin on the middle section.
The VST instruments used in this track include:
- East West Symphonic Orchestra (Platinum edition).
- East West Symphonic Choirs.
- Halion Symphonic Orchestra.
- Roland FP60 Digital Piano
Every part was worked out by ear and performed by me.
All post production, mixing and mastering was completed by me in Cubase 10.5.
I hope you like it, and thanks for watching.

Truly amazing. Takes me back to my childhood, watching the TV series, in 1970.
I was watching this again on nigtshift, such a good version. It used to make me sad as a child watching the horse running through the meadows to this tune.
An underrated theme song is the Crossroads theme tune by Tony Hatch orchestra, I love the key changes in that.
I remember my Dad had a TV themes album on vinyl when I was a young kid, and black beauty was the last track on side 2....I think I practically wore it out 😁.
Crossroads? Never really appealed to me that one... Maybe I'll have to go back and re-evaluate.
@@juliancroot it never appealed to me when I was young but listening to it now I appreciate it more, although the original sounds dated. I often think about trying to do a modern version, but it sits at the bottom of my list.
@@ge0music307 I think the theme itself of the original 1970s version and general instrumentation of the same is pretty timeless - I think what makes the original version sound a bit dated is the closed hihat ticking throughout and the quick articulated ascents and descents of the woodwinds which transition some of the notes of the main melody (that the brass section does not do). I think the “doo doo / ahh” of the choir also contributes to it sounding a little dated. Any other syllables, it wouldn’t so much I don’t think. Just my $0.02, such as it is.
I love it. I loved it as a Kid. This is brilliantly worked out, close to the original, But captured the spirit of the piece... 👍😊👌
All by ear. That's great!
I only heard about Marco de Goiej who fully reconstructed Deep Purples " Concerto for Group & Orchestra composed by jon lord 1969,but the Partiture was lost. De Goiej reconstructed by using the Video VHS tape from 1969
In these days with Software it seems to be a lot easier
But work is work
And you did great work on Dennis King piece of music. 👍🥂
Thank you. The software is an enabler for sure, but don't be fooled....it takes me a long time to put these covers together.
top work . I've been looking around for a score of the original arrangement
An amazing interpretation of this classic theme tune bringing back happy childhood memories. Would you be so kind as to allow me to use snippets of this in an introduction to my TH-cam videos. All credit to yourself and to the original writer Denis King. I've bought a Triumph Rocket 3 motorcycle and have called it Black Beauty. I want to parody the original series opening with shots of the bike and this tune.
Very sad tune for me, brings back a lot of memories. Family, friends and pets no longer with us.
It brings back memories for me also. Happy memories, but sad that they're long gone!
Well that's was epic I just love this track it takes me back to my child hood
Bravo!!! Bravissimo, Maestro!!! You should send this to Denis King, cos I’m sure he would love it!!! I didn’t think I could enjoy any version as much as the original, but you’ve added a Wall of Sound dimension to it without ruining any of the original’s Perfect Beauty!!! Well Done!!! ❤
Wow, thank you!
Wow you incredibly talented man you, thank you for sharing. Superb tine...
@@nitram_nosnibor thank you. 👍

Just awesome!
Well done bro! 🤗
Thanks :)
Very impressive interpretation. I love the richness of the sound you have created, while staying faithful to Denis King’s original. You’ve made a lot of People happy with your music! Coming from a violinist who adored the Black Beauty theme as a child.
Thank you. It means more to me coming from a fellow musician 🙏.
Pure joy.
Bravo!
This is just absolutely amazing! I'm in tears listening to what is probably one of the best tv themes ever written. You did a fantastic job. Thank you. 😊
Wow, thank you for such a great comment. I agree by the way :).. probably one of the best TV themes ever written. Thank you Denis King.
anyone know where i can get the keyboard notes for this
Transcendent!
Bardzo proszę posłuchać muzyki bo Bardzo podoba
could you do Chi Mai (Theme from 'The Life & Times Of David Lloyd George')
Please tell there’s a guitar tab for this
I don't play guitar Sorry. I just work things out by ear at the piano, so I don't currently have sheet music of any description for anything on this channel.
Yes i grew up watching black beauty and it was brilliant for the time. The music, you could smell the horse of it. Ive heard it most recently 30 years ago when it was a rave tune. Its beauty of a track ❤❤❤ Im 53 now nearly 54 and this tune still puts a lump in my throat ❤
Oh my gosh! So beautiful. Used to love watching the programme. Fantastic version, well done!
To think, this was once performed by an entire orchestra, and now all it takes is one guy and a keyboard.
All thanks to the inventors of VST instruments. Thanks for watching.😀
I can appreciate how much work went into that. Totally awesome 👏👏👏
Fabulous!
A fantastic version. Brilliant job!
Thanks for listening Simon.
Incredible!!!
Oh god another great show and memorable theme from back in the day, thanks again Julian.
Brilliant!
Clever cloggs! X

The best version I have ever heard..... awesome
Thank you very much. It makes me happy to know you liked it. :)
