Jeopardy! (1984-91 Theme): Full Arrangement

Out of boredom, I took my piano solo rendition of the 1984-91 theme to "Jeopardy!" and added more instruments. This may be the most iconic television theme song of any genre, not just game shows. This was also done to help me practice using MuseScore 4 now that it has KZbin playback abilities. However, it didn't show all the instruments when I tried making a video with MuseScore 4; instead, it zoomed in on the top half and cut off the bottom. So I redid it with version 3 so that it would show all the instruments. That's frustrating, but MuseScore 4 did debut just last year. It still has a few bugs to work out, so patience with the new MuseScore is a virtue.
Don't worry, folks; more scores are to come in the future. I just haven't got that far yet.
This version of the song is now for:
Alto saxophone
Tenor saxophone
Baritone saxophone
Glockenspiel
Vibraphone
Drum set
Conga drums
Piano
Electric bass

This even sounds like it has bongos similarly to the 1992-1997 theme. Great work, bro.

[@LeotheTiger1234]

Thanks a lot! I think I actually used conga drums instead of bongos, but it still works.

[@UltraMaXAtAXX]

A blend of the theme from one of the pilots and the first theme, well done.

Alex: Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen! On behalf of all of us, welcome to America's favorite answer-and-question game, "Jeopardy!"

[@Mcafees]

As someone who didn’t watch Jeopardy in this era, I heaved a sigh of relief at 0:38 ! The building tension of this theme took me by surprise. Great arrangement!

[@LeotheTiger1234]

Thank you; glad you enjoyed it. The fact that it builds and releases tension like that was Merv Griffin's original way of writing it, and it has been beautifully reorchestrated several times since then.

[@arkadiosvotessocialist8436]

I wasn't even born until a decade after this version stopped airing, but I still felt nostalgic.

[@LeotheTiger1234]

You mean the song, correct? The show is still on the air.

[@arkadiosvotessocialist8436]

Yes, that is what I meant.

[@LeotheTiger1234]

Okay; just checking.

Why does the start of it remind me of the end of “Mind Over Matter” from “Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree”, the first segment of “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh”?

[@LeotheTiger1234]

I don't know. I don't think of that when I hear the proper song.

[@ToonyKid]

@@LeotheTiger1234 I'm just asking due to the suspenseful tone of it.

[@LeotheTiger1234]

Oh, I see. Some others told me they think of a futuristic jet about to take off.
