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.

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" 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.

During the first two seasons of this show the tune was very smooth and easy going. The producers of this show wanted to make the sounds more disturbing and dramatic during the third season of this campy show. Mr. Williams then instructed the director to include a countdown at the start of the show before his tune went into action.

George Lucas made tons of money with his "Star Wars" movies which started in the late 70's and still exist to this very day. At the beginning of these films the viewers are treated to a loud and interesting theme song that is very unique in style. Throughout the entire movie he uses loud sounds whenever there is a dangerous situation and even has a love theme for the romantic couple in this film.

Jane Fonda was very proud to play the lead character within the feature known as "Barberella." She portrayed a woman who used her sex appeal to obtain information. The government sent her on a mission to locate a missing agent that had the power to destroy the world.

He in turn tried to destroy Barbarella by placing her within a device that gave erotic pleasures to women. During this scene the artist known as Maurice Jarre created a sound that was quite amazing to hear. He used tunes which sounded very explicit and dangerous. Many people within the audience really marveled at his musical talent.
