Eye Level
"Eye Level" is a 1972 single by the Simon Park Orchestra. It was produced originally for the De Wolfe Music Library and selected by Thames Television to be the theme tune for their Netherlands-based detective series ''Van der Valk''. Overview The work was originally intended as library music, and was loosely based on a German/Dutch nursery rhyme called ''Jan Hinnerk'' (in German) or ''Catootje'' (in Dutch), which in its turn took the opening bars of '' Non più andrai'' from Mozart's ''Le Nozze di Figaro''. Dutch composer Jan Stoeckart adapted the original tune and wrote a new top line under the name of Jack Trombey, while Simon Park arranged it for his own orchestra and conducted the recording. The track was fully entitled "Eye Level (Theme from the TV series 'Van Der Valk'). A song based on the music with lyrics added was called "And You Smiled", performed by Matt Monro.
