A Dimension of Sound : Music in The Twilight Zone

A Dimension of Sound: The Music of The Twilight Zone offers multiple readings of the ways in which music is used in this iconic series.

It examines not only on the ways in which newly composed scores and stock music were utilized, but also how the music enhances and interacts with what we see and hear onscreen. Dedicated chapters look at composers such as Fred Steiner, Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann and Nathan van Cleave, and their work in particular episodes.

Further chapters examine the scores of less frequent contributors and appendices include information on music cues and recording sessions. For anyone with a serious interest in The Twilight Zone, the golden age of American television, soundtracks or composing for the screen - large or small - this book will be essential reading.
