Good Omens (Opening Titles)

Here is another example of the Melotone played as part of a Compton theatre organ. Good Omens is a 2019 BBC/Amazon television series based on the book by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman, with music by David Arnold. This is the music for the opening titles and it illustrates that the theatre organ can tackle contemporary music as well as music from the heyday of the theatre organ.

Arnold's imaginative score features diverse resources, including an orchestra, choir and solo singer, East End piano/fiddle band and even a fairground calliope. All this gives plenty of scope for the organist to enjoy himself!
