"James Horner, a two-time Academy Award-winning composer, has composed the new musical theme for the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric," CBS announced this afternoon. He composed "My Heart Will Go On" for Titanic and the scores for "Apollo 13," "Braveheart," "Alien," "Field of Dreams," "A Beautiful Mind," and more than 100 others. "The musical theme will also be integrated into other CBS News programs over time," CBS noted.
> By the way: "In the 58-year history of the CBS Evening News, four different musical themes have been used. Prior to the first, which was added in 1962 when Walter Cronkite anchored the broadcast, the sound of a teletype machine was heard under the voiced opening announcement."

They could have saved a bundle, use the "International".

That's odd. I always thought that sound was the clackety-clack of a Dell workstation typing something in MSWord.

I think the Looney Tunes theme would be sufficient. "That's all folks!"

Funny. Jerry Goldsmith is listed as the composer for, "Alien."
Horner did, "Aliens."

I hope it's some arrangement for a kazoo quartet.
Personally I love Horner's closing theme from the movie Glory

I was hoping they would use the theme from The Twilight Zone.

Often accused of stealing from himself,
Horner has now conclusively proven that
he's entirely shameless.

James Horner ROCKS as a composer. He did Star Trek two and three.
To: TC Rider
"Alien," was Jerry Goldsmith's work. I think the writer meant to say, "Aliens."

That CBS thing is great--I'd love to be able to share it with friends. Do you have it on the net somewhere?
