CBS Music is a 1976 composition by Leonard Bernstein.
It was written to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the CBS television network.[1] The notes of the piece (C, B flat and E flat) spell out 'CBS' with the E flat pronounced 'S' in German.[2] The score of CBS Music was subsequently withdrawn by Bernstein, and he reused parts of it in his piece Halil: Nocturne.[1]
It was orchestrated by Sid Ramin and arranged by Jack Gottlieb.[1]
The first and last movements of the CBS Music were premiered on CBS TV on 1 April 1978 during the 50th-anniversary celebrations of the channel.[1] It was recorded by Marin Alsop with the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra in a 2018 recording for Naxos Records.[3]
