About the Arranger: Carl Strommen

Carl Strommen's arrangements and original compositions have secured him a place among the most frequently performed composers and arrangers across band, orchestra, jazz ensemble, and choral settings worldwide. His music appears regularly in concert halls, broadcasts, and film scores, and he maintains an active schedule as both a clinician and commissioned composer. His steady stream of publications has earned him consistent recognition through the ASCAP Standard Writers Award.

A product of the City College of New York, Strommen remains connected to music education as an adjunct instructor of orchestration and composition at C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University. He resides on Long Island with his family and divides time between New York and Colorado.

Why we love this

Strommen's gift for medley construction shines here. He weaves seven iconic TV themes into a cohesive arc that holds energy from opener to closer, never feeling stitched together. The orchestration sits perfectly at Grade 4, demanding musicianship without requiring virtuosos, making this an ideal vehicle for building ensemble confidence at a pops concert.

What to expect

Stepping into a time capsule of television's golden age. The writing feels celebratory and warm, with moments of orchestral color that elevate the familiar melodies beyond their original TV arrangements. There's a genuine affection for these themes woven throughout, inviting both players and listeners to smile.

Who it's for

Orchestra directors programming pops concerts or pop concerts who want a crowd-pleasing medley with real orchestral writing. This works equally well as a season opener or closer, and it engages audiences of all ages since these TV themes have multigenerational recognition.

How to get the most out of it

Balance the themes so each one emerges clearly without overshadowing the others. Sectional rehearsals on individual themes before running the full medley save rehearsal time.
Pay attention to the transitions between themes. Strommen's arranging typically moves smoothly between sections, but slight tempo breathing at the joins prevents the piece from feeling rushed.
Let the nostalgic quality come through in the phrasing. These melodies have emotional weight for audiences; lean into the warmth rather than playing them straight.

How to use it

Program this as either your concert opener or finale at a pops concert. Its immediate recognizability and accessible difficulty make it an excellent audience connector, particularly if your season includes heavier classical works. The piece also fits well in community orchestra or youth orchestra settings where repertoire needs to balance musicality with audience appeal.
