The South Bank Show theme tune......

[Mulder]

I know it's very specific but I really want to get hold of this piece of music. I'm pretty sure it's by Andrew lloyd Webber. Anyone know?

From t'internet:

For his cellist brother Julian Lloyd Webber he wrote "Variations", based upon Paganini's original theme for violin (for which many other composers have provided variations including Brahms and Rachmaninov). This piece also employed pop and rock music styles and was recorded by Julian together with Gary Moore on guitar and the vocals of Phil Collins. One of the variations from this was to become the theme tune for the television arts programme "The South Bank Show"

Fankyoooooooo! I searched long and hard for Andrew's version of variations, but never realised it was done by his brother. What a tune!

i am pretty sure its taken from Nicolo Pagganini's Caprice no.24 on violin ...
