I just love this theme and Mavis's tomboyish personality

[@Tugsboi47]

I thought Rosie was the tomboy

[@JojoCat2008]

​@@Tugsboi47Both are.

[@Douglas57647]

Mavis only appeared in a handful of episodes, but her theme was definitely one of the catchiest in the show, even if it wasn't very long. I really like the flute parts you added to extend the theme, it sounds like something Mike & Junior could have done if Mavis had gotten more screen time!

[@InstrumentManiac]

I agree Douglas! Mike and Junior were geniuses at writing these catchy themes it's fun to imagine what they would be like if they were extended :)

[@MatthewChenault]

Her theme sounds oddly like a 50’s style Americana mall music. It’s soft; almost feminine. That fits in well with her very feminine nature.

[@brandonprokop4935]

Mavis is a diesel engine who works for the quarry company shunting freight cars in their sidings. She has six small wheels hidden by side plates just like Toby. Mavis is young and full of ideas. She loves rearranging things and began putting Toby's cars in different places every days.

[@loganmargison1016]

This made Toby cross. "Freight cars," he grumbled, "should be where you want them when you want them." "Fiddlesticks!" said Mavis, and flounced away.

[@levihankenson3801]

You are now contractually obligated to do BoCo’s theme

[@InstrumentManiac]

Just finished writing his theme, coming next month!

[@levihankenson3801]

Great!

[@Jo-Wilbe-Dina]

*FINALLY,* Someone has *FINALLY* made a Cover of Mavis’s Theme Song. Mavis herself and her own Theme Song are both One of my Most Favourite Characters and Theme Songs in the Series, but they’re also *SO UNBELIEVABLY UNDERRATED* since no one talks about her too much because she doesn’t get as much attention that she deserved in the Series in which I wished she did, just like giving her more Episodes of her own. I’m so glad there’s still someone like you that still cared for Mavis so much and you were the only one who made a cover for her theme, well at least your cover of Mavis’s Theme was the only one I can find. I’m Forever Grateful.

[@resurrectedbard]

Absolutely agreeed, Mavis is one of the best written characters in the show with her subtle developments after her main arc in the TVS, and her theme reflects her personality perfectly.

[@InstrumentManiac]

She sure has a great theme! Thank you 😄

[@a.z.pantera5577]

I'd love to hear a cover of Duncan's theme. If I recall he's the only narrow gauge engine to get his own theme.

[@mayoroicjre]

I think Rusty had their own theme as well, if I remember

[@DKQuagmire]

I think I also asked for this in the last video. I love Duncans theme!

[@trainspotter454]

Videos like this really show off how great the compositions for the show were at the time

[@JustinFrazier_360]

So beautiful arrangement you did.

[@NewYorkerSaif]

I cannot wait for this one.

[@theoldbean]

I absolutely adore this interpretation. What I’m enjoying a lot about your work is that you are making bold choices in the interpretation of the original pieces, not just trying to create a carbon copy with real instruments. The sign of a true artist. I love the pizzicato here. Makes the piece so much more adorable. I cannot wait to see your next interpretation. Keep it up!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Ahh thank you that means so much! It's always a risk to take such a bold different stance than the originals but it's awesome people like you that give me the courage to continue doing it. Cheers 😊

[@Mangoekaki]

I forgot just how charming this show and its music is, but I've been sent back down memory lane to enjoy it once again. Thank you for your hard work and wonderful tunes!

[@josephpetrie7355]

Beautiful I have never heard such adoring melodies of these versions of Thomas and friends

[@InstrumentManiac]

Thanks Catherine!

[@techengine8667]

Rustys Theme was also pretty good.

[@ssam-07328]

No kidding, this one was always my favourite, it has such a unique sound, this is awesome!!!

[@Trombone_crochet9021]

I had an idea. I found some sing alongs lately. Donalds duck, the narrow gauge engines, and come for a ride. Absolutely love this.

[@davidscholz3041]

I've especially wanted to mention that this version of Mavis' theme certainly is remarkably incredible since I personally heard it throughout some season 3 episodes when she'd been introduced into the popular TV show!

[@ItsCarlos563]

Love this rendition on Mavis' theme.

[@Cremer_daReal]

Can’t wait for rustys theme!

[@user-cl8xh6bc9y]

This is absolutely brilliant! This must be one of my favourites so far! What a joy to listen to!😀

[@InstrumentManiac]

Wow, thank you!

I can’t wait! and i almost look like Mavis

[@James-sr2rd]

[@itfigurescomics6704]

[@InstrumentManiac]

Glad to hear!

[@jamesthebrains2744]

I’ve beeen waiting for this

[@davidscholz3041]

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally seen these exact scenes from the episodes that Mavis made her introduction!

[@davidscholz3041]

I've especially wanted to mention that that Mavis certainly is remarkably similar to Toby since she's got 6 wheels hidden by cowcatchers as well as side plates! She certainly is remarkably also apparently based on a B R class 04 0-6-0 Drewery diesel/mechanical locomotive that happens to be basically based up @ Ffarquhar Quarry located directly over @ the very end of Thomas' Branch Line on the North Western Railway!

[@toyotaprius79]

That was extremely saccharine to my ears, wonderful

[@ToadP]

Loving the nice spin on the theme via the solo segments, really helps the extension parts flow beautifully with the main theme as more instruments are gradually, but naturally added in. Probably my favorite of your pieces thus far.

[@InstrumentManiac]

Glad you like it! It's always tricky to make things gradual but not stale 😆

[@davidantoniocamposbarros7528]

"Having trouble,Mavis?" said Toby "i am surprised" "Fuck you" said Mavis

The way you did Mavis' theme is almost like in a form of a Christmas song. I love it very much. I imagine kids playing in the snow while you were playing. But anyway, I love what you did for Mavis' theme. It puts such warmth to my heart.
