Chronicle is Delia's 1969[1] title music consisting of a 22-second trumpet fanfare for a BBC series of programmes of the same name.
The most successful TV title music that I've composed is probably Chronicle.
-- Delia in the Soundhouse interview
Robin Carmody[1] dates Chronicle to 1969, which corresponds with its tape catalogue entry's date of Jan 1969[2] and the date on Delia's manuscript headed "CHRONICLE TITLE"[3] of the 1st February 1969.

Other Chronicles
Delia also created music for several programmes in the series:
- Chronicle: "The Gate of Hell",[4] broadcast 13 May 1967.
- Chronicle: The Realms of Gold, broadcast 8 Feb 1969.[5]
- Chronicle: The Peninsular War ("Leopards from the Sea"),[6] probably broadcast in 1971,[7] maybe on the 2nd of May.
- Chronicle: Pompeii,[8] probably first broadcast in 1974.
- Chronicle Magazine: Egypt, broadcast on 25th August 1972.[9]
She also appears to have created a new signature tune for the programme The Daily Chronicle for 1966:
This new tune, which you will soon hear, has been composed by an English woman, Delia Derbyshire. [...] This new melody is not played by instruments. It has been made by artificially produced tones in the Electronic Workshop of the BBC. Are the older ones amongst us going to lament this fact? The world of 1966 is no longer the world of 1940. We can only come to terms with it when we accept this.[10]
