For college basketball enthusiasts it's that holy time of year - March Madness is upon us once again - and long-time fans are aware of Trevor's involvement in creating theme songs for sporting events on TNT, but he also had a role in updating the long-running theme (composed by Bob Christianson) for the annual NCAA basketball coverage on CBS Sports, as revealed in this article on the MSN website:
The only time Radovich remembers having serious discussions about new NCAA tournament theme music came in 2010 when CBS first partnered with Turner Sports to air March Madness on four different channels. Some executives argued a new era required a complete rebrand — an overhaul of the graphics, logos, music and on-air talent. Others were adamant Christianson’s song remained a fixture.
The result was a compromise. Trevor Rabin, a former YES guitarist who also composed the theme for the NBA on TNT broadcasts, subtly remixed Christianson’s song, preserving the core melody but adding some contemporary flourishes.
