The Golden Age of Music for Television

TVC 626.5: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with Jon Burlingame, nationally renowned music journalist and the author of Music for Prime Time: A History of American Television and Scoring that not tells the back story of every great TV theme music or TV theme song, but gives readers a portraits of the many great composers who made those themes so memorable, including John Williams, Benny Carter, Duane Tatro, Irving Szathmary, and Oliver Nelson. Topics this segment include why some of the most memorable and creative music for television was made in the period between the late 1960s and early 1970s. Music for Prime Time is available in bookstores everywhere through Oxford University Press and Amazon.com.
