KPM Music (originally known as KPM Musichouse) is a company that creates and provides library music. It was formed by the merger of KPM (the initials of Keith-Prowse-Maurice, which was then a division of EMI) and Music House (a company that EMI acquired in 1997).
History
The firm's origins date back to the Keith, Prowse & Co. partnership established in 1830. KPM's music library has been utilised in many films and television programmes worldwide. The KPM 1000 album series, mainly produced by Adrian Kerridge, has become more commercially available in recent years.[1]
The music written by KPM's composers was intended for use as signature tunes or incidental music in film and television.[2] KPM pieces were featured prominently in Mastermind, All Creatures Great and Small, The Avengers, The Benny Hill Show, Animal Magic
