Getting To Know Science Fiction Music

By Young Lindsay


People growing up in the 60's, 70's and 80's will always remember the television shows coming on during that time. They also enjoyed the great science fiction music that these programs provided. Many of the movies also had great tunes that had a really wonderful beat. Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Maurice Jarre, Vangelis and Barry Gray did their best to provide excellent music for many movies and television shows that appeared over the air. They are known for "Lost In Space, " "Logan's Run, " "Barbarella" and a host of other programs.

A certain composer named Jerry Goldsmith was a smart man who knew how to put life into a futuristic program. "Star Trek" was one of the many television events that Mr. Goldsmith assisted with. He even helped to compose the tunes for several of the motion pictures that revolved around this series. All of the characters involved within this particular show were very interesting people who did dynamic things each and every week. The viewers loved this excitement.

After his work with "Star Trek" was finished Mr. Goldsmith decided to help out with many of the adventure movies that were being created. "Logan's Run" seemed like an interesting venture to take on and it needed unique sounds for each scene. Goldsmith made sure that enough dramatic tunes were placed into this movie for the character of Logan.

"Logan's Run" is a bizarre film which really plays upon someone's sanity. The great tunes heard within this movie can be very intimidating and scary. Whenever someone thinks about the series "Lost In Space" their mind will immediately go towards the composer called John Williams.

People were very skeptical about the tune of "Lost In Space" when it first came over the air in 1965. The sounds within this show were very childlike and could easily put someone to sleep. The program definitely needed a brand new opening in order to gain the attention of every viewer that was watching. Williams decided to start each show off with a dazzling opening that was loud and proud.

A movie named "Star Wars" also had a nifty little tune attached to the opening and closing credits. This film made millions of dollars for George Lucas and his company. All of the characters had their own musical piece and this was really great for the actors. People could determine if Luke or Hans Solo was coming onto the screen from the fine tunes.

One lovely and sexy lady of the silver screen was named "Barbarella" and she could easily make any male blush. Jane Fonda played this super space agent very well. The character was trying her best to save the world by stopping a deranged scientist.

The unscrupulous agent also places her into a dreaded sex machine which causes pleasure and pain. The tunes used within this film are very upbeat and psychedelic sounding. Every scene within this motion picture has a unique sound that will amaze every viewer around.
