Johnny Pearson & His Orchestra - All Creatures Great And Small (1978)

"All Creatures Great and Small" (full title on the UK release: "All Creatures Great and Small - The Original Music From The TV Series And Other Favourite Themes") is an album by British composer, pianist, and arranger Johnny Pearson and his orchestra, released in 1978 on Rampage Records (and in other countries on Omega and RCA).

This release became iconic thanks to its role as the title theme for the BBC series of the same name ("All Creatures Great and Small"), based on the autobiographical books of veterinarian James Herriot about life in picturesque Yorkshire. Pearson's title track perfectly captured the pastoral, bright, and cozy atmosphere of the British countryside.

Johnny Pearson's 1978 album is the pinnacle of British Easy Listening and a striking monument to the Library Music era. The record oozes warmth, endless sunshine, and nostalgic comfort, making it the perfect soundtrack for relaxation and a shining example of great 1970s orchestral pop.
