Is (was) there a Score Productions \"ound\"?
I think so.
Trumpets and trombones
Flutes and piccolos
Bass guitar
To a much lesser extent, on some shows:
Rhodes piano
Tambourine
Strings
Depending on the composer
Synth
Discuss.
I know that some of Kalehoff\'s were modal, but I don\'t remember which mode.
Wasn\'t just Kalehoff. I think the Mindreaders theme is in dorian, and Body Language in mixolydian.
Score musicians definitely loved brassy instruments, and for the most part kept the tunes contemporary (Moog in the early-to-mid-70s, synth in the early-to-mid-80s). Off the top of my head, I can\'t think of too many disco-based compositions though.
The MG/HS Hour pilot theme (heard over at the TVPMM) seemed to have elements of quite a few Goodson-Todman themes.
MG/HS Hour was when Goodson started using Kalehoff again after a, um, hiatus. By then Kalehoff was independent of Score.
I have only recently discovered Walt Levinsky who composed a large number of tunes that wound up on Goodson shows including ours. By this time Score and Kalehoff were no longer collaborating. Levinsky was a first-rate jazz clarinetist as well as a composer and arranger. He never received as much recognition as he deserved.

AFAIK, the themes to Showoffs and Second Chance haven\'t been attributed to anyone, but after hearing the Price \'76 catalog I\'m wondering if they weren\'t both from Walt. (Just recently found out he did The Big Showdown.)I have only recently discovered Walt Levinsky who composed a large number of tunes that wound up on Goodson shows including ours.
The DD76/CS78 theme also smacks of Walt\'s other known work.
Except it has a major synth part. What did Levinsky ever compose that had synth in it? Score\'s other synth guy was Ken Bichel (Match Game) and maybe Gary Anderson (Super Password).
I could have sworn the first GSN cd had the DD76/CS78 music credited to Kalehoff

I\'m thinking either they were wrong or you\'re remembering wrong, because it just doesn\'t soundd like Edd. For one thing, where were the strings? ;)
Alternately, an old fart like me who still has a CD rack could actually look at said disc, which in fact credits Card Sharks to one Edward Woodley Kalehoff.
a CD rack
A what now?
I\'ll defer to the packaging then--I\'m assuming it\'s the 70s version on the CD--since his own site simply lists \'Card Sharks\' without reference to year. I still say it doesn\'t scream Edd like his other works.

You\'d be correct. Sadly, it\'s a short one-minuteish version.

I don\'t think anyone disputed this the first time.
According to the credit roll, the on-air credit for that was Score Productions, Inc. It sounds like Kalehoff.
Isn\'t the lead guitar also a trademark in Edd Kalehoff\'s work?

If it is, then it certainly shines through on his theme for the Nickelodeon \"Double Dare\"

Which of Kalehoff\'s themes had a string section after he stopped collaborating with Score? Harp, yes, string section no.

Double Dare (Nickelodeon), for one. Or was that more of Score\'s thing with the strings filling in the background?
Strings or synth? He does use a live harp.
Didn\'t MG/HS Hour have a synthesized string section? I couldn\'t get tvpmm to come up yesterday so couldn\'t listen.
After listening, MG/HS sounds like live brass with synthesized strings and woodwinds. Score might have used live strings and piccolos where Edd used synth.
