Saturday Night Live Closing Theme Song (A Waltz in A) by Ben (SirNim)

This is the Saturday Night Live Closing Theme Song (A Waltz in A), written by Howard Shore and used to end each weekly broadcast of the National Broadcasting Company’s Saturday Night Live (1975) sketch comedy show, originating from Studio 8H at the NBC Television Studios in the GE Building of Rockefeller Center, New York City, created by Lorne Michaels, announced by Don Pardo.

Check out the NEWER version of this song over on my SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/sirnim/a-waltz-in-a
This new version was recorded with a REAL piano, as opposed to the keyboard piano I used for this video.

The song is performed each show by Lenny Pickett, Katreese Barnes, Leon Pendarvis, and the Saturday Night Live Band.

This is my arrangement, produced with a KORG Triton Extreme keyboard/workstation on a whim. I was originally just going to do a solo piano track so I didn’t even bother to add a click track to stabilize the tempo. After I recorded the piano I figured I might as well add all the other instruments on top. But the tempo isn’t perfect, so please overlook the fluctuations. The tenor sax produced by a keyboard obviously will not compete with Pickett’s work, but then again, that’s not the point.
