Archive material and source history
101 Strings was an orchestral ensemble that recorded extensively through the 1960s and 1970s. Their sound was built on lush string arrangements that often incorporated popular melodies and cinematic themes. The group's 1970 single 'Airport Theme' became their most recognizable track, its dramatic arrangement capturing a certain mood of air travel that stuck in the public imagination.
The ensemble's origins are a bit murky, often traced to musicians who stayed in Los Angeles after a tour by British violinist David Rose. The name suggested a massive orchestra, but recordings typically involved a smaller core of session players. This approach, along with studio techniques like overdubbing, led some critics to question the authenticity of the '101 Strings' presentation.
Their catalog includes albums like 'Strings of Steel' from 1962 and 'Strings for Westminster' from 1965. While the specific lineup shifted, the output maintained a consistent style of orchestral pop. The music found a place in films, television, and commercials, giving it a second life long after the group's active period ended.
