Theme: "Trumpet Voluntary / Trumpet Tune and Air, in D Major"

    [Verified as the THEME in TV Guide article "Looking
     For A Lost Chord?" April 28, 1962, pp. 12-13;

     This THEME was the same one used for awhile on the 
     "Huntley-Brinkley" report (evening news) weeknights
      on NBC;

     This tune was formerly attributed to Henry Purcell as
     the "Trumpet Tune and Air in D"; but then scholars 
     changed their minds, and said that the tune was 
     really written by Jeremiah Clarke and had the
     name "Trumpet Voluntary"; The debate may not
     yet be completely settled...]
