The composers were synthesizer pioneers. In the 1970s, the Walt Disney Company chose this tune to be the theme for the Electrical Parade. “It was extraordinary, I didn't know about it because the publishers said nothing to me. It was by chance, in 1980, that I went there and was so surprised to hear Baroque Hoedown arranged for a full orchestra." - Pink Panther
By Henry Mancini
Performed by the saxophone quartet
Written for the 1963 movie. In 1964, it reached the Top 10 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart and won three Grammy Awards.
