<BLOCKQUOTE>
 
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.<ref>Undated ''Daily Chronicle'' transcript (WAC&nbsp;R97/9/1) from the BBC Written Archives Center, cited in [[Special Sound]], p.120.

Chronicle title

Chronicle Title is Delia's 1969[1] 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 it 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.
