    Great composer and about time he had his own thread.

    Just one thing David, all composer thread headlines are in capitals to distinguish them. smile

    MainTitles needs more threads such as this one to coax a passive observer like me to log in.

    Haven't posted here since the 2011 Holiday season.

    Bring on more pre-1980s TV & movie music, like Gerald Fried's "Catspaw" episode which features members of the clarinet family prominently. cool

    The TV movie "The Ordeal Of Dr. Mudd" has an effective and memorable score by Fried ... and let's not forget Gerald's stripper music for Lola Albright in "A Cold Wind In August"!

    Personal favorite Fried scores are "The Baby" (directed by Ted Post) and "Cabinet Of Caligari" (available on FSM)
  2. Does he want his personal e-mail published online?

    If you look aroudn the last few pages of UPCOMING FILM SCORES thread, you'll see he did a new score.

    I always preferred the Sol Kaplan scored Trek over the Fried one (yeah, I know Kaplan did just two episodes).
    Unquestionably Fried defined much of the sound of that Universe, but it simply isn't for me.
    I can certainly tolerate his scores within the medium, but won't listen to them separately for pleasure.

    The only thing I presently have of him is an episode score from JERICHO and the very cool funk-jazz score for the tv show SHOTGUN SLADE. I really dig that.
    I am extremely serious.
  3. Here's a suite from one of the episodes of "Dynasty" he scored; there were some scenes in another country, accounting for the flavor in the score:

    Here's a suite from the pilot episode of "Flamingo Road":

  4. Clearly, as score fans, we don't possess the instant qualifications necessary to attempt a niche market quiz.

  6. Yeah, I meet plenty of extremely kind compsoers/musicsians/etc., that want their personal contact information private.

    If he had been okay with it, I would have loved for everybody to hear his funny voicemail.

  7. This might be of some interest. Here is the last film/TV project Fried scored:

    I have no connection to STAR TREK, but nice to see ol' Fried keepin' it cool! Not too bad an oboe performance for an 82-year-old.

    It's a great little suite of themes.

    BSX released Fried's suite from Star Trek as a digital download a few years back, with Fried himself playing the oboe (and John Rangel on piano). Not the audio from this video but a "proper" recording.

  12. Just found Fried credited as the composer for the Mathnet potion of this old "Square One" TV series:

    Stars about 19:20 in.
