John Williams “keeps an oar in” with a new theme for ESPN.

Williams has written an original theme for ESPN’s College Football Playoff National Championship, to air Monday evening at 7:30 p.m. EST, prior to the TCU-Georgia game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA.

The new music will be recalled throughout the TCU-Georgia matchup. The composer, who will be 91-years-old on February 8, recorded several takes of the main piece as well as briefer excerpts, “a re-join piece and a vamp, cutdowns and stingers,” shorter pieces that can be useful during the game itself.

“This is believed to be the largest-scale musical commission ever for the sports network. What will happen with the piece after Monday night is not clear.”

Let the royalties negotiations begin!
