The Roger Webb Sound

British Easy Listening Ensemble

The Roger Webb Sound was a project led by British composer and pianist Roger Webb. Born in 1934, Webb was a prolific composer who worked extensively in film and television, as well as producing library music. His career spanned several decades, during which he composed the scores for numerous movies and TV shows, including the theme for the British soap opera "Emmerdale Farm" (now known as "Emmerdale"). The Roger Webb Sound is known for its contributions to the library music scene, which provided stock music for use in media and broadcasting. The albums "Way Star" and "Moon Bird" are examples of the type of instrumental, mood-setting music that was typical of library music collections. These albums showcase Webb's talent for creating atmospheric compositions that could be used to evoke various emotions and settings in visual media. Webb's work has been sampled by various artists over the years, reflecting his enduring influence on music across different genres.
