I noticed only music editors listed on the episodes and in the movie database. Does anyone know if the music was just tracked from other shows or if there was a series composer?
shareCurious...big fan of the music;
noticed Men in Space use the same music.
Perhaps something like that or another possibility that I heard from a director was that their is a company they can buy background music of almost anything. The opening theme is something I've never forgotten.. so ???? but never have seen ANYONE credited with its writing.........
Correction: David Rose (aka Ray Llewellyn). composed the main theme.. but not all the music.. the odd music within an episode was as I mentoned above..
They were stock music cues. A few of the cues were also heard in " Highway Patrol " and other " ZIV " Television releases. Most television shows from the 1950s paid per needle drop from Raoul Kraushaar's Omar library( Leave it to Beaver, Jeff's Collie, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Bachelor Father and other MCA/Revue shows ), Mutel ( Music for television-The Adventures of Superman, Jeff's Collie ), Cinemusic with Jack Shaindlin's cues( Father Knows Best, Donna Reed,Screen Gems Productions, Pre 1960 Hanna Barbera Cartoons, The Cisco Kid, etc), and of course the famous Capitol Hi-Q Music Library which had many compositions from William Loose, Phil Green, Emil Cadkin, Jack Cookerly, Georgie Hormel, Harry Bluestone and others. That library also was used for early Screens Gems produced shows, Dennis the Menace, Donna Reed, Father Knows Best, early Hanna Barbera Cartoons,Desi-Lu Productions, The Untouchables, My Three Sons prior to the fall of 1965, Casey Jones,and too many more to mention. Correct, David Rose did a lot of ghost writing for a number of libraries under an assumed name. He also wrote a number of cues for William Loose at Capitol. Love those music scores, they were also a big part of the nostalgia .
shareSome of the score for the theatrical film "The Badlanders", a western starring Alan Ladd and Ernest Borgnine, consists of music cues that were also used in "Sea Hunt". "The Badlanders" was made and released in 1958, the same year that "Sea Hunt" debuted. Like "Sea Hunt", "The Badlanders" has no music credit.
