What's Your Take On Morning Edition's Theme?
Morning Edition is calling on listeners to create their own versions of the theme. Pick your genre: rock, hip-hop, R&B, country, even EDM. You can create a new arrangement of one of our themes or remix one.
Regular Morning Edition listeners have heard the familiar theme song composed by BJ Leiderman every weekday morning since the show's first broadcast in 1979.
Over the years, we've had variations of that theme recorded, some of which you hear on the air, like the music for our "returns," those 30-second news bites that air every hour on the half-hour.
But there are other versions you never hear, like the short riff that recalls the smooth jazz stylings of saxophonist Kenny G. There's also a jaunty sting that we call "Cokie's Theme," and the "Jazz Theme," which might make you think of a '60s talk show.
