Music Licensing: Slang track main theme song for Oprahs upcoming primetime special, “A Christmas at the White House”

Slang Music group was recently selected by Harpo Productions to create themes for Oprah's Holiday Special As regular musical contributors for the daytime show, Slang was initially asked to submit original music for a "tenative holiday Oprah special" months ago. Our team submitted several pieces of music presumably along with countless other submissions from competing music venders.

On Friday December 4th we received word from Harpo that our track had been singled out, and would be used as the main theme song for Oprahs upcoming primetime special, “A Christmas at the White House” which will air at 9pm central time on ABC on Sunday December 13th.

After an extremely productive weekend, we have provided the Oprah team with twenty six different interpretations of the main theme that will be used through out the program. Our staff worked all day and all night to provide the quick, high quality customized music, at the direction of Oprah's Music Director. The interpretations are varied and include classical film scoring styles with full orchestra, solo acoustic & classical guitar, operatic/choral performance, patriotic, R&B and dance.

the Oprah Team was very pleased with the end result, stating that we will most definitely be more involved than ever with Harpo. He also said, “Nobody can say Slang MusicGroup is only about dance music after this! You guys did an incredible job, and this makes you look really, really good.”

We are so excited, honored, and proud to have such a major role with this historic broadcast. This is Oprahs first interview with our nations first African American President since his election in November of 2008.

We hope you’ll join us this Sunday night, along with millions of other viewers undoubtly, on ABC at 9pm.
