Alistair Cooke and all

I have the opening music for Masterpiece Theater stuck in my head.
PBS says of the piece, "From its start in 1971, Masterpiece Theatre became recognizable not only for its outstanding dramas, but for its signature theme music as well. This now iconic music was originally written for the court of Louis XV, King of France. The blood-stirring piece by composer Jean-Joseph Mouret (1682-1738), is the first movement of Mouret's "First Suite in D," from his second book of Fanfares for Trumpets, Kettledrums, Violins and Oboes (published in Paris, ca. 1729)."
Wikipedia says of Mouret, "Jean-Joseph Mouret was a French composer whose dramatic works made him one of the leading exponents of Baroque music in his country. Even though most of his works are no longer performed, Mouret's name survives today thanks to the popularity of the Fanfare-Rondeau from his first Suite de symphonies, which has been adopted as the signature tune of the PBS program Masterpiece and is a popular musical choice in many modern weddings."
TV is everyone's desperate grasp at fame. Even long-dead composers.
