Science Fiction Music Is Great

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.

Some years ago a man called Jerry Goldsmith took it upon himself to write the tunes for certain space shows that were coming onto television. He was interested in helping out with a program called "Star Trek" since it was something totally different. This was one show which featured a handsome young actor named William Shatner who could make many women faint. The producers also knew that young people were interested in space exploration and they had the characters travel to various locations each week.

Mr. Goldsmith went on to write the theme for a movie called "Logan's Run." This was a terrifying movie about people who could not live past the age of thirty. Logan was the hero within this film and he was a person that enjoyed his sexual freedom. He had become a reluctant runner when the higher authorities ordered him to find and destroy a place called sanctuary.

"Logan's Run" was a dark and gloomy film which required solemn tunes within it. One artist who believed in making sad and joyful music was the great John Williams. In the year 1967 he totally changed the tune of the television program "Lost In Space."

People who watched the first two seasons of this show were not very impressed with the opening theme or its cartoon drawings which could be seen. They became very excited after "Lost In Space" opened to a new countdown scene which led to a tune and graphics that were very eye catching.

John Williams had been a very successful composer and people would always come to him whenever they needed expert advice about musical tunes. George Lucas asked for his help when he was trying to place certain sounds on a little movie called "Star Wars." Hans Solo and Luke Skywalker each had their own melody whenever their characters were upon the screen.

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.

This scientist was also an agent for the government and he wanted to destroy Barbarella in any way possible. The most interesting sounds happen when the strange male places this woman within a sex machine which sounds like a person moaning. The title song to this motion picture is also very interesting and easy to learn.
