Ivor Slaney

Ivor Slaney (b. 27 May 1921 in West Bromwich, United Kingdom, d. March 1988, Southampton, United Kingdom) was a prolific musical composer and conductor , notable for his work in film, television and radio.

Slaney was educated at the Royal College of Music, and married pianist Dolores Ventura.

His best known work was probably "Top Dog"", which was used as the theme music for the BBC radio comedy series "The Men from the Ministry". The songs he was known for were less than 5 seconds long and were used as stock sounds for cues to depict situations in cartoons and shows for comic effect, such as Ren and Stimpy and Bill Nye

Ivor Slaney also composed hundreds of mood music pieces, fanfares and "stings". Many examples are available on the DeWolfe site (see below).
