L.A. Law (Main Title): Piano/Vocal/Chords

This collection captures some of television's most iconic themes in piano/vocal/chords format, giving singers and pianists direct access to material that audiences already love and recognize. The variety across genres and eras means you can find something that fits nearly any performance context, from pops concerts to variety shows to solo recital warmups.

Stepping into a time capsule of television history. You get the nostalgia and instant familiarity of these themes, but arranged for the intimacy of piano and voice rather than the full orchestral wash. Each theme carries the memory of its show while standing on its own as a piece to perform.

Singers and pianist accompanists looking for accessible, recognizable material that connects with audiences. This works for voice students building recital repertoire, community theater performers, and anyone preparing a pops-style concert.

• Balance the vocal line against the piano accompaniment; these themes were written for orchestras, so a lighter vocal approach often works better than belting.
• Use chord symbols to make the accompaniment your own. Fill in the harmony creatively rather than playing block chords.
• Find the rhythmic pocket of each theme. Many of these were written with specific percussion and groove elements, so lock into the groove pattern suggested by the piano arrangement.

Build a pops or variety concert around these themes, or scatter them throughout a program as palate cleansers between classical pieces. They also work beautifully as encore material, since audiences tend to recognize and enjoy them immediately.

• Reading piano/vocal/chords notation
