When the Fine Music Presenters’ Committee decided to take up the idea of creating a Fine Music station sting (or theme), Dr Michael Field AM decided to have a go at writing it!
All that was needed was a couple of bars of attractive music to create an aural association with the station.
Michael’s theme is based on a simple sequence of four falling chords in a minor key, preceded by a short lead-in phrase (anacrusis), and ending with a final resolving chord in which the minor third interval is sharpened to make the transition from G minor to G major.
There are four variations of the sting available for download:
- Station sting for piano, performed by Emyr Evans
- Station sting for harp, performed by Georgia Lowe
- Station sting for plucked strings, performed by the Acacia Quartet
- Station sting for guitar, synthesised by Michael Field
