Notes
The Golden Age of Light Music: New Town: Production Music of the 1950s
What is ‘Production Music’? In simple terms, it is music provided by publishers for use by professionals mainly in the entertainment business. Most of it is especially composed for the purpose, and some pieces may last only a few seconds. But there are many examples of light music cameos which have become popular with the public through their familiarity as signature tunes or in other situations in which they have been regularly heard. Guild GLCD 5220 reviewed the mood music scene of the 1940s as peace returned following World War II. By the end of the decade the production music scene (in those days more commonly called ‘mood music’ – in the USA it was often known as ‘stock music’) was well established in Britain, although there were still a relatively small number of publishers involved. This was to change in the 1950s with the arrival of new labels and the rapid expansion of the existing libraries. New composers appeared, injecting fresh vitality which reflected the growing optimism of the era.
