He then studied with Nadia Boulanger in Paris and completed his education in Vienna, Austria. Having written more than 2000 scores, for seven consecutive years Chris was the winner of the ASCAP award for "Most Performed Television Background Score". He is also the composer of more than twenty feature films, and his music has been performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.

Christopher L. Stone Lyrics

We have lyrics for these tracks by Christopher L. Stone:

All I Know Is… I don't want a lot for Christmas. There is just…
Does Love Die What does it take to win your love for me? How…
Finale There's been so many girls that I've known I've made so…
My First Love Can I remind you about the time You insisted upon…

Snowflakes In a haunted house on a haunted hill Where the sun…
Tell Me Probably closing time again Sitting here waiting for the end…
To the Lake LAKE SIDE I take my shirt off in front of others…

Thank you so much for uploading this amazing soundtrack! Tale Spin, was my favorite show as a kid. It really transcended the typical After School animation of the time.

I always loved that theme from Talespin 1:07 - 1:25.

@princessmarlena1359

Right? So badass!

I looked up this score specifically for this part. So iconic and sticks with me even 30 years later.

@WebsterJake

No doubt, and the show is criminally underrated. As we speak I'm going through a TaleSpin binge. I did the same with DuckTales several months ago. Both have fantastic scores and storylines - a quality that's all but dead in today's animated fare.

@atomofish

12y↑8

Yeah, I find it sad that Talespin gets so little attention when in comparison to the other DA shows. I really think its one of Disney's best productions. Regardless of whether or not it was on the big screen.

@WebsterJake

An epic, sweeping score? In a kid's cartoon?!?! As a 7-year-old in 1990 I didn't appreciate TaleSpin as much as I do now because fantastic shows like this were all over the TV - and we only had 59 channels on the box! Who'd have thought cartoon quality would go down the drain? Too bad The Disney Channel became a tween network :-/ ‌ Let's hear it for atomofish. These tracks are a great find and I hope anyone who watches your uploads will appreciate just how mega-scarce this promo CD really is.

@GregoryWeagle

Actually; the CD containing this is actually a rare demo CD that was never intended for general release. It was meant as a promotional device for Christopher L. Stone to find work. The fact that he filled it with TaleSpin music instead of Dragon's Lair or Phantasm makes me feel like he has a really high opinion on the show.

@daniverse9625

8y↑3

Also it's probably helps that Tailspin was one of his rare experiences working with an actual orchestra.

@GregoryWeagle

8y↑3

He's been working with actual orchestra since he was twelve years old. It's not a rare experience. Unless of course; you are saying that this is a rare experience of him working on an animated series with an actual orchestra.

Seriously, this is probably the best music from any Disney cartoon series, and I loved everything Duckatles, Rescue Rangers, and Darkwing Duck came up with as well.

It definitely had that John Williams' Star Wars feel to it. That was the point.

@davidharder7024

8y↑34

Animated TV shows sure don't get this kind of treatment when it comes to the sound track anymore.

@CaptainViral84

I could agree with you even part of the score sounded like metal grinding that is such brilliants at work

@iorekby

4y↑3

It's because the studios used to have their own in house orchestras to compose and perform theme tunes. Sadly they're all now gone and it's just licensed music from some random Youtuber who's made some bland generic electronic or indie song.

@princessmarlena1359

This soundtrack and this show were certainly works of art! Anytime we heard this particular music score 1:07 start to play in an episode, you know s* was getting real!

@hyperelliptik

I can't believe how much of an epic fantasy/sci-fi feel this has to it, for being a kids' show. It sound like something straight out of John William's music for Star Wars!

@allclassallthetime4739

Thank you so much for uploading this! I never imagined I could hear this and as a kid when this came out, this would have been pure pleasure and playing Talespin with my friends!

This reminds me a lot of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Considering TaleSpin's time period, that fits.

@lihkan Same, they always played it at the best moments and I loved hearing it. When Baloo first demonstrated the overdrive, to when he saved Kit. My other favorite moment was in "Sheepskin Deep" when Baloo proved to the principal about the kumquats that grew on that snowy mountain. Thanks for posting!

@lihkan Mine too. The moment this part played in the finale of Plunder and Lightning was also one of the greatest moments of my childhood. "Didn't I learn ya? A navigator wears his hat that way!"

@NinjaChris77

6y↑25

If they would make a show like this nowadays, all the planes would be CGI and the music wouldnt be near as epic as this and it would be full of political messages we dont give a shit about, glad i grew up in the 90s!

@thebarbaryghostsf

4y↑6

The original show had plenty of socio-political commentary.

@mccabber24

When that shit kicks in at 1:06 Sounds like it belongs in a Captain America movie. My god that's epic

Kit: Yeah, but your landings are C-

@timtwoface

Now that it's confirmed to be crossing over with the new Ducktales series, I hope the theme at 1:08 makes an appearance somehow...they've done it with Darkwing Duck and the Rescue Rangers already, so why not?

@GregoryWeagle

Romantic Theme is already being used at times for Della Duck; so, I'm guessing that will be when Kit and the SeaDuck make their debut.

@timtwoface

@Gregory Weagle it is? If you're referring to her lullaby tune, that was taken directly from the Ducktales NES Moon Stage theme. If you meant something else, where did you catch it?

@GregoryWeagle

@Timtwoface Raiders of the Doomsday Vault when Della and Dewey were in the plane and Della told Dewey to close his eyes and feel the sky while Dewey took control of the stick. I think the clip is officially in one of the Disney XD videos.

@timtwoface

@Gregory Weagle I don't think that's the actual theme...but I agree it is very much in the same vein of Talespin's Romantic theme!

Considering that we have had variations of the Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck themes show up, I would think something from Talespin and even the Gummi Bears will show up at one point.
