It is always interesting to hear great tunes whenever a person turns on the television set within their home. People living in Tucson AZ know that they will indeed be hearing great science fiction music whenever a show like "Star Trek" "Lost In Space" or "Space 1999" comes over the airwaves. These shows are all classics and they really capture the viewers attention at every moment of broadcast.
Towards the end of the 60's a great man named Gene Roddenberry decided to broadcast a new series which would boldly go where no man has gone before. The name of his show was called "Star Trek" and it featured an array of unusual characters who were on a mission to explore space. Mr. Bill Shatner was the star of this series and he was more than happy to work with a group of other great actors for three years. Alexander Courage conducted the sounds for this particular series.
Every person around America also like the short tunes that Alexander added to this series whenever the Captain or his crew were in some sort of danger. Nowadays younger people also whistle the "Star Trek" theme whenever they are playing adventure games or doing any other types of activities.
When "Star Trek" ended Gene Roddenberry decided to do other projects to fill up his time. He waited until the 80's before getting another musical arrangement for the series "The Next Generation." Another very special show which featured the crew of Alpha Control was called "Space 1999" and it contained some really groovy sounds.
Many of the actors playing on "Space 1999" were British and they really had no connection to the American audience at all. Luckily Barbara Bain and Martin Landau were quite popular in America since they had already starred on a series called "Mission Impossible" in the late 60's.
The series hired a male named Barry Gray to arrange all of the musical numbers for this unique production. Many viewers were pleased to take a sneak peak at the show while the opening credits were on. These particular tunes playing at the start of the show were exciting. After a couple of years had passed "Space 1999" was finally finished and both Barbara and Martin moved back to the states.
Fans all over the world still watch and love "Lost In Space." This was one glorious series which featured the best animation that humans have ever seen. The opening credits during the first and second season included images of the actors floating in space. This sequence was created by a composer with the birth name of John Towner Williams and he is very intelligent. John decided to do a different opening after the second season ended.
He would now show images of Mark, Angela, Marta, June, Guy, Billy and Johnathan while the opening tune was playing. This was a very bold move for this series and it worked really well. Many of the viewers loved this idea and they continued to watch the show until it came to a sudden end in 1968.
