Music composed for television had, until recently, never been
taken seriously by scholars or critics. Catchy TV themes, often for
popular weekly series, were fondly remembered but not considered much
more culturally significant than commercial jingles. Yet noted composers
like John Williams, Henry Mancini, Jerry Goldsmith and Lalo Schifrin
learned and/or honed their craft in television before going on to major
success in feature films.
Oscar-winning film composers like
Bernard Herrmann, Franz Waxman and Maurice Jarre wrote hours of music
for television projects, and such high-profile jazz figures as Duke
Ellington, Dave Brubeck and Quincy Jones also contributed music to TV
series. Concert-hall luminaries from Aaron Copland to Leonard Bernstein,
and theater writers from Jerome Moross to Richard Rodgers, penned
memorable scores for TV.
