Science Fiction Music Is Great

By Young Lindsay


Any adult human being can really relate to all of the great films and television events from the past. People are always amazed that John Williams, Maurice Jarre, Barry Gray, Vangelis and Jerry Goldsmith wrote some of the greatest science fiction music. During the years these musical scores have really held up and every individual can usually hum them all. Whenever someone watches the movie "Barbarella" they can usually sing the title song from this dynamic motion picture. "Lost In Space" was another dynamic show which had a great tune for everyone to enjoy.

Jerry Goldsmith was a well known composer who did his best to liven up outer space shows. He took the time to write a great tune for "Star Trek" back in the 1960's and did some of the musical notes for the feature films. Everyone around enjoyed watching this classic television show which featured Captain Kirk and his lively crew who were always getting into all types of situations. Each week viewers tuned in to see all of these futuristic people who loved adventure.

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.

The mood of this film was very dark and the tunes used in this particular movie were very loud and frightening. John Williams is a famous musical artist who took the time to write for two very big events. In the 1960's this man wrote the title theme for a show called "Lost In Space."

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.

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.
