Ingfried Hoffmann

Ingfried Hoffmann (b. 1935) is a German composer, arranger, jazz organist, pianist and trumpeter.
He worked with Sesamstrasse from the show's beginning in 1973, composing its theme song. Hoffmann would often re-arrange or completely rescore songs from the domestic version including "If I Knew You Were Coming," "I Love Trash," "I Whistle a Happy Tune," "The Subway," and many more.
He was one of the interview subjects in the 1993 Sesamstrasse documentary Samson und das Krümelmonster.
Outside the show, Hoffman recorded jazz singles, albums of organ music (including 1969's Swinging Bach-Organ, which added a jazz twist to Bach compositions), arranged a 1979 album by Sesamstrasse regular Manfred Krug, and composed for another German puppet series, Hallo Spencer.
