Since the 1980s, US artist Jim Ragland has been composing and producing incidental, scene change and underscoring music for the professional theater. Projects have included tiny fringe theaters as well as The Kennedy Center. Credits include the Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway production, "The Kentucky Cycle," and 100s of other shows - like Shakespeare, Chekhov, August Wilson, and Sam Shepard. With dozens of Spotlight Awards from The Seattle Times, a Lifetime Achievement Award from Theater Puget Sound, Variety says: “[Jim Ragland] creates worlds that capture the imagination."
Beautiful tender beginning then moves into playful elegant orchestral music. Mischievous, a bit dramatic in a sweet way. Romantic comedy, new beginnings, falling in love. High fashion, limo cruising, Hollywood nights, rich and luxurious, kitchy, happy. Great for films like The Artist, kids animation, Instrumental, Dramatic, Broadway

Simple, dreamy, bluesy electric guitar with organ, feels like a sunrise; lands on a suspension and has a long fade starting around 28 sec, Instrumental, Dramatic, Heartwarming Music
an elegant duet for harpsichord and flute, composed for a Moliere play. Great for a court dance, lots of sections, Instrumental, Dramatic, Tender music

An evocative Irish percussion pulse, with Uilleann pipes and cello. Picture a windy bog. A great film transition scene for ancient celtic settings, Instrumental, Dramatic, Romantic Music

A shimmerinig viola and acoustic guitar over a tropical percussion track. Slightly mysterious and elegant. Would make a great theme for an NCIS Miami segment. Sounds like a scene shot from the air. Instrumental, Dramatic, Smooth Music
Sophisticated, elegant violin and piano in a 30s-40s style upscale bounce. Perfect for luxury items, well dressed beautiful people out on the town. Very New York, Instrumental, Dramatic, Smooth Music

A 20s/30s show music feel ala Gershwin by way of Danny Elfman, with clarinet and sax over piano and percussion. Could be great in a cartoon or a period piece. Nice ritard at the end makes it a great transition, Instrumental, Dramatic, Broadway
Alice has a bad dream. Synth horns over drums, constantly modulating until it is ridiculously high. A bit of a scary clown feel. Instrumental, Dramatic, Hectic Music
