Duck The Great Western Engine's Theme (Series 2)

Time for one of my favorites, I love Duck's Theme so much. It gives me strong Pachelbel's Canon vibes, with the way the backing notes descend down and then back up. I have included his 3 main themes from Series 2 for the sake of compiling them together into one video and I thought It'd be more interesting than having just one theme to listen to.

Original Music by Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell

[@SudrianAfro]

Hey everyone. Just a quick message. While I know a lot of you enjoy the recreations of O'Donnell and Campbell's legendary work for TTTE. I'd also really appreciate if you'd take a look at music I've written too. I'm looking to experiment and expand as a composer to test my range and ideas, the Thomas stuff is nostalgic and everything but the original works is what I really enjoy to work with. Still on the 80s wave at the moment as there are some sounds I still want to tackle. Here’s a playlist of all the 80s and 90s stuff. I’ve arranged them similar to how they are on SoundCloud. Enjoy! kzbin.info/aero/PLMtRClgemu18WeuhMuxWRmeKj3NlT3-FP

As a kid, I barely even knew Montague. He never showed up in any of the episodes that aired. I remember some scenes from music videos and such, that barber scene in particular stood out in my mind. After seeing some of season 2 and beyond, it’s quite amazing how much he shows up! He really was basically a new cast member!

There is just something so relaxing and soothing about Duck's theme.

[@Douglas57647]

I love Duck's theme too, it's so catchy and lyrical! It's probably my 2nd favorite character theme in the show after Donald & Douglas' theme.

[@bee7263]

Duck is one of my favorite charters and his theme brings all the memories I had in my child hood

[@vizor4888]

Donald & Douglas' theme makes me feel proud 😂 So upbeat

[@justarandomuser7937]

Duck's theme has both a nostaligic feel and that good bop to it, making hard to stop listening to this theme. This is a vibe, and a bop, great job.

[@WaterCrane]

What sells it to me, and possibly what gives it its bop, is the 6/8 time signature, which gives it a very waltz-like feel.

[@nicoferguson1215]

The amazing thing about these recreations is the fact they have a audio distortion that gives them an air of authenticity

[@tahornaday9961]

This song always gets me in the feels. Nostalgia will always bring you tears.

[@dolphincrescent54]

Thank you so much Ty! I love this theme too! Duck is one of my all-time favorite characters! He's always helpful and hardworking, proud of his Great Western heritage, has a strong moral compass, knows how to stand up for himself, and even willing to put his life at risk to save others like in A Close Shave! Duck deserves more credit than most give him! Your prefect rendition of his theme does him proper justice! It's steady yet jaunty and has notes of determination and sagacity (sorry Oliver!) One day, I hope to meet a GWR Pannier tank engine like Duck one day! For now, let's give a cheer for the OG Great Western Engine Duck and Ty!

[@templar_1138]

Duck has been my favorite character for the longest time. I love his work ethic, his design shows how powerful of a tank engine he is in such a small model, and his theme has always been my favorite to listen to. I even enjoy driving Pannier tank engines in Train Simulator.

[@dat1dude688]

There’s a sped up version of this theme, but I can’t remember what it’s called. It plays in the episode “All At Sea” when Duck is taking a man to the hospital after he’s injured, and in “Bowled Out” when he and Stepney have to take the express. (There might be more instances, but those are the two I can think of.) (Edited to include episode names.)
