I've tried Google and I've tried Shazam, but no joy. Anyone know what this music is?

Thanks in advance, and fingers crossed someone knows it.

Why not call up their marketing department and ask them what that soulless sappy pap was they created/used?
Soulless sappy pap it may be. I wrote something similar for Cornhill Insurance for a 30 sec ad. many years ago. It landed me £28k in the first 6 month of use. Where there's pap there's brass.Adam B said:
Not knocking the creators, I am knocking the guys that commission such cheese.
Bloody good work if you can get it it seems - do you get paid per play or is it a fixed amount?
Would it not be cheaper to use some nice piece of classical even if you pay the royalties?
It's all about the royalties. If you can get something that is repeated again and again in lots of countries over decades, you can pretty much retire (Eastenders etc).Bloody good work if you can get it it seems - do you get paid per play or is it a fixed amount?

"The biggest way that composers make their money is through repeat fees, which are calculated on a per-minute basis. A piece of music on BBC1, for example, generates a royalty of £48 per minute, while BBC2 pays £46. Channel 4 pays out just £22, but ITV pays a more generous £86, so if a show is long-running or even sold abroad, cash can come rolling in. But still, the amounts generated are not that huge. Simon May, who composed the EastEnders tune, for instance, estimates he only makes around £10,000 per year out of it. "I'd rather I had a pound for every time I'm asked how much I make out of it than the money I do get", he says.

My mother was friends with the daughter of the bloke who either (can't remember which) wrote the theme tune to Coronation Street or played the trumpet on the recording. Either way, he took her and her family away for a nice 5 star weekend after they introduced multiple weekly shows and omnibus editions! http://www.theguardian.com/media/2000/mar/29/tvand...

Just for the record, that article was written 16 years ago. Royalties have more than doubled since then.http://www.theguardian.com/media/2000/mar/29/tvand...

And Simon May makes a LOT more than £10k a year from Eastenders!

GC - have you done any film scores?
Not my bag. I write production music which gets used mainly in documentaries/ lifestyle programmes like 'The Apprentice' and so on. It means I can live in daft remote places. Having said that I'm in Islington at the moment, working in the best studio, with the best engineer, and the best session musicians in the UK. ... The biggest perk of my job!(For those in the know, Angel One, Steve Price, Neal Wilkinson, Paul Clarvis, Frank Ricotti, Chris Lawrence, Gorden Campbell, Nick Holland etc.)
For those with too much time on their hands, here's a compo of the recording in Angel on Monday.
You can see I'm covering quite a few bases!

Yes... I know Neal, Gordon and Nick. Good guys. They are all at the top of their game, as are the rest :-)(For those in the know, Angel One, Steve Price, Neal Wilkinson, Paul Clarvis, Frank Ricotti, Chris Lawrence, Gorden Campbell, Nick Holland etc.)
