I’d call this, “Ode to Copland in Four Movements.”

Note that it has the structure of a fanfare (allusion to “Fanfare for the Common Man”) and, at 0:32, it hits its musical climax, in an allusion to the musical climax that comes early in the first movement of Appalachian Spring, in what my mom calls Copland’s “wild sweetness.”

[Postscript, 2020: The time stamp referred to a version that has since been killed off by the Kopyright Kops.]

If there’s a more brilliant, ambitious, and at the same time, touching—since the whole thing is an homage to Copland—TV theme, I hope someone will tell me.

As someone who grew up poor in the late 80, early 90. All we had was network tv. When you heard this theme song, you knew what time of day it was. It was time to learn some stuff o'clock. Thank you National Geographic for teaching me about the Ganges rivier, lip plates, and how vaccinations work. You are a treasure!
