I would have prefered real brass players in the main/end titles. The sampled brass sounds really cheap. Where can we hear this?

Original theme as in the Herrmann one? I've seen some news articles talking about Herrmann and this show, but I figured they didn't know who actually composed the famous theme...

Here's the new episode: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=19GO8-Rrn0g And here's the original season 2 end titles: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_gxyAEQ6Pxw It's that final brass run at the conclusion of the end titles that caught my ear. Which is a shame because the guitars and live woodwinds(!) are recorded beautifully. Also I'm surprised (or not) that several articles on this re-imagining credit Herrmann with the theme, obviously referencing the popular season 2-5 theme. I may be one of the few that actual prefers Herrmann's season 1 main and end title. I love it! I don't have CBS Access as I don't believe in financing junk, but thanks for the effort. I checked another clip on YouTube (TM) and I agree. The cue sounds pretty good until the final brass. Ugh!

Loved the original TZ since I was a kid and I've always preferred the Herrmann opening and closing themes. The MC theme is much more popular and recognizable, but Herrmann's theme is more mysterious, atmospheric and ominous.

I think a one/two punch would have worked. Opening with the popular theme, and them closing with Herrmann's ominous unsettling end credits piece, so there is no resolve.

Brandon Roberts doesn't seem to know who composed the "famous" theme. https://www.vulture.com/2019/03/twilight-zone-revival-opening-title-sequence.html “We looked at the original sheet music, dissected it from there, and decided what we would put in,” Beltrami said. “To redo it would be starting from scratch, which didn’t make sense. It was always assumed that we would approach the original theme and slightly make it more modern.” The four notes that embody the theme served as the duo’s “jumping-off point” for how it could segue into something a bit more modern — and soon enough, a Hammond B3 organ, harmonic guitars, baritone guitars, electric bass, drums, woodwinds, and bongos were smoothly incorporated into what the composers describe as an “eerie vocal and an electric bass pattern.” Clocking in at 30 seconds, it took them around three weeks to master. As Roberts reckons: “If Bernard couldn’t outdo it, there was no way we were going to outdo it.”

I doubt that any original sheet music exists since the "theme" was a splice of two Constant library pieces "Etrange #3" and "Milieu #2". Herrmann did however re-record the Constant theme during season 3 and I believe it appears on a few episodes (Little Girl Lost being one of them).
