Dear Guys:

I'm trying to id the pieces of music used to introduce the Hallmark Hall of Fame segment. Always wanted to know what pieces they used, especially during the spinning crown segments.

It was really impressive how someone found out where the music to the CBS Log special came from and identified as a Morton Stevens piece. I'm hoping someone can help me with the sixties and seventies Hallmark Hall of Fame. It's at the following:

It's from the film's score by Allyn Ferguson. It's unreleased.

Guys, it's the Hallmark Hall of Fame "intro," Not the movie itself. I've been trying to i.d. it for years. It sounds like a coronation march, which since it's Hallmark only makes sense.

The music at the 32 second mark in the video you linked to is from the TV movie that the trailer is for. Click on Part 1 of hte film, that comes up in the side, and go passed the opening with the kid getting struck.

It's the cue that plays at the 1:11 to 1:23 on the clip.

Any help appreciated.

--the poor soul, who is wondering about this for many years.

Your post has the video with a time stamp of 32 seconds in:

t=32


Hence the confusion.

It has a time stamp of 32 seconds, I thought he must have been confused. The time stamp doesn't get there by accident, youtube doesn't make it automatically for you, the user has to create it.

And I still don't see it deleted from the initial post.



EDIT:

Bob Thompson said in an interview he did a theme for "Hallmark Hall of Fame", but doesnt' say when, but he was scoring around the time when it probably came into use, so perhaps it was him. He's passed away. Maybe somebody still monitors his website and can help.

Guys, it was the second time I've tried posting a link, and I confess I didn't even know what a time stamp is.

Thanks for the help guys. Does anyone out there know anything else about the Hallmark Hall of Fame intro from the late fifties, sixties or seventies? Is there an expanded version available on youtube? So far I haven't been able to find it.

Thanks guys.

According to information, Bernard Green did a version, but that should have been earlier in the series, and an arrangement of a score cue "The Dream of Olwen" (from a World War II film called "While I Live") composed by Charles Williams, was used according to IMDb from 1951 to 1958.



EDIT:

A time stamp is a point in the link to the video that most browsers will automatically start the video at when somebody clicks on the link. It starts with a question mark, followed by a lower case t with an equals symbol next to it, then followed by the time. Bolded:

In fact, the whole structure of the link is needless, as this isn't Twitter or some social media place that has character limits. Fixed:

My crack research team is on the case!

For the crack research team, can any of you find out who was the narrator/announcer to the beginning of the Hallmark Hall of Fame segments in the sixties, seventies and early eighties. He had a rich, strong voice. In my mind I can hear him giving out Velvetta Cheese recipes.

Thanks

Any progress? Howard L.

Has anybody come across any video of the openings to the Hallmark Hall of Fame in the sixties and seventies?

Unfortunately I am not getting responses from what I thought to be reliable sources. Not even acknowledgements. Perhaps that will change; if so, will report back immediatemente.

Could someone help me check on these three tunes that might have the Hallmark
Cue in them. Arnold Bax's "Coronation March 1953," Edward Elgar "Imperial March op 32," and Arthur Bliss's "Welcome the Queen." My ear isn't that astute where it can pick up sections to identify where cues might be pulled from.

The three are from a CD that has British Marches on them. And someone suggested that the Hallmark theme might come from them.
