KAREN’S THEME
Music by Richard Carpenter
We all make mistakes, and
one of my biggest was allowing myself to be persuaded into authorizing, and
participating in, the making of
The Karen Carpenter Story, approximately 90 minutes of creative license that
give biopics, in general, a dubious name. I wrote the opening melody of
“Karen’s Theme” for one of many fictitious scenes in the movie, which first
aired – to monumental ratings – on January 1, 1989. I completed the
melody, arranged and recorded the piece, in late 1996 for my album, Pianist,
Arranger, Composer, Conductor that was released by A&M in March 1997.
