Orchestra On The Half Shell was an artist alias for music composers and producers John Du Prez and David Frank, which they used on the soundtracks of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movies. Du Prez was also responsible for the score of the first "TMNT" movie.

The composition "Turtle Rhapsody" features the main "TMNT" theme from the movie, which was also used in some "TMNT" arcade games. Note that it's not the same theme that was used for the original cartoon series, neither has this tune been used for latter cartoon shows.
