Doctor Who Theme


The original key of the "Doctor Who Theme" by the Doctor Who series is A minor. Composed by Ron Grainer and realized by Delia Derbyshire at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in 1963, the theme is one of the most iconic in television history. Its electronic and otherworldly sound was groundbreaking for its time, achieved through innovative techniques such as tape manipulation and oscillator modulation. The theme has undergone several arrangements over the years to accompany each new iteration of the Doctor, maintaining its status as a hallmark of the series.
