The incidental music that is playing on the radio in the hair salon, where Catweazle distracts the women while Carrot grabs some hair from the floor, in the 4th episode of the first series, 'The witching hour', is the same music that is played when Catweazle and Cedric are walking across the fields to The Bull at Bodford, in the 2nd episode of the Second series 'Duck Halt'. It is also heard in the episode 'The Black Wheels'.

It's called, 'Day Trip' by Mike Vickers, recorded in 1969. It was from the Standard Music Library and used in a few other shows of the '70s too. The original library album was 'Activity/Travel'(ESL 113). I've just looked and someone has uploaded the track to Youtube which is handy:

Can anyone tell me what the haunting, beautiful music is at the end of the last episode when Catweazle says goodbye to Carrot?

I would LOVE to know who wrote that haunting and sorrowful finale music to both season 1 and 2. Stunningly evocative and utterly, no pun intended, timeless. It reduces me to tears, even today

I would LOVE to know who wrote that haunting and sorrowful finale music to both season 1 and 2. Stunningly evocative and utterly, no pun intended, timeless. It reduces me to tears, even today It's called "Mosaic" and was written by Raymond ("Ray") Jones - an enigma in British incidental music composing. Apart from some work for Doctor Who in the 1960s, his work and movements have proved difficult (if not impossible) to trace. It is generally believed that the music exists in an archive somewhere, however extracting it is going to be the hardest part. Personally, I think we might be disappointed if indeed it does surface - without the visuals it may lose a lot in the translation. It certainly was used throughout both series and may have been edited to fit certain parts, but I agree with you so much that for the finale of seasons 1 and 2 it is absolutely perfect and hugely emotional.

It's not mentioned in his entry on the IMDb website.. Dr Who is though.

There's some other examples of his library music at the Standard Music Library. Not much to connect with Catweazle although I do like "Late In The Year" Search for Raymond Jones www.standardmusiclibrary.com/music

This was also used in an episode of Budgie with Adam Faith entitled 'The Grandee Hotel'

The music that is played at the end of the episode 'The Black Wheels' is called 'Tishomingo Blues'. It was written by Spencer Williams and many Jazz bands have played it..including Duke Ellington.
The version you hear in the episode is by Terry Lightfoot and his Jazzmen.
Terence Lightfoot (21 May 1935 – 15 March 2013) was a British jazz clarinettist and bandleader, and together with Chris Barber, Acker Bilk and Kenny Ball was one of the leading members of the trad jazz generation of British jazzmen.

Hello all ...can anyone point me to the episode where Catweazle starts to sing, under his breath I think, 'Salmay, dalmay, adonay....' to the tune of the theme music? I watched them all when they were on TPTV but would like to find that bit again. Thanks!

I watched them all when they were on TPTV but would like to find that bit again. Thanks! The only thing I can think of is when Catweazle is singing # '12 are they that circle round, if power you seek, they must be found, look for where the 13th lies, mount aloft the one who flies'. That is sung by Catweazle and is loosely to the theme tune.

The incidental music so often captures and amplifies so well Catweazle's expressions of yearning or loss as he rues his situation 900 years from home. I often feel there's an extra poignancy when you sense that his loneliness is partially habitual in any case, a product of his preoccupations, and partially perhaps also his temperament, but made so much worse for the loss of almost everything.....(except his) familiar. The incidental score is entirely response for our feelings of the depth of that,and knowing its recurrence.
