Editing Being There (section)

==Music==
Incidental music is used very sparingly. What little original music is used was composed by [[Johnny Mandel]], and primarily features two recurrent piano themes based on "[[Gnossiennes]]" No. 4 and No. 5 by [[Erik Satie]]. The other major pieces of music used are the [[Eumir Deodato]] jazz/funk arrangement of the opening fanfare from ''[[Also sprach Zarathustra (Strauss)|Also Sprach Zarathustra]]'' and "[[Basketball Jones featuring Tyrone Shoelaces|Basketball Jones]]" by Cheech and Chong. These pieces respectively accompany the title credits and Chance's first arrival to the Biltmore Estate.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7Vi3vz7qbtwC&q=also%20sprach%20zarathustra%20being%20there&pg=PA9|last=Stoehr|first=Ingo Roland|title=German Literature of the Twentieth Century: From Aestheticism to Postmodernism|year=2001|publisher=Boydell & Brewer|isbn=9781571131577}}</ref> Mandel was also assisted by his cousin and fellow composer [[Miles Goodman]] with the orchestration of the film.<ref>{{cite web|title=Miles Goodman, 47, Composer for Films|date=August 20, 1996|work=[[The New York Times]]|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/08/20/arts/miles-goodman-47-composer-for-films.html|access-date=March 25, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Jablon|first=Robert|title= Miles Goodman, Film Composer and Jazz Record Producer, Dies |date=August 18, 1996|work=[[Associated Press]]|url=https://apnews.com/cdd69bf7e9fadd7e532dffd061c48a79|access-date=March 25, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230518091640/https://apnews.com/article/cdd69bf7e9fadd7e532dffd061c48a79 |archive-date=2023-05-18}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Oliver|first=Myrna|title=Miles Goodman; Record Producer, Film Composer|date=August 20, 1996|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-08-20-me-35989-story.html|access-date=March 25, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Miles Goodman: Composer|date=August 22, 1996|work=Sarasota Herald-Tribune|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1755&dat=19960822&id=wD8gAAAAIBAJ&pg=2263,1662626|access-date=March 25, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Record producer, composer Miles Goodman dies at 47|date=August 21, 1996|work=[[The Daily Gazette]]|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1957&dat=19960821&id=-r9KAAAAIBAJ&pg=4020,4884243|access-date=March 25, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Saporito |first=Jeff |date=December 7, 2015 |title=Why does "Being There" highlight "Basketball Jones" so prominently |url=http://screenprism.com/insights/article/why-does-being-there-highlight-basketball-jones-so-prominently |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160727015336/http://screenprism.com/insights/article/why-does-being-there-highlight-basketball-jones-so-prominently |archive-date=2016-07-27 |website=Screen Prism}}</ref>
