Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Ron Grainer (11 August 1922 - 21 February 1981) was an Australian-born composer who worked for most of his professional career in the United Kingdom. He is mostly remembered for his film and television music. Grainer was born in Atherton, Queensland, Australia. He studied music under Sir Eugene Goosens at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, but this was interrupted by World War II. He was enlisted to the Australian Army and was injured, almost losing a leg. Moving to Britain in the 1950s, Grainer collaborated with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop on a number of television series themes, including Giants of Steam (a documentary about railways) and in 1963 on the science fiction series Doctor Who. Grainer was so impressed with Delia Derbyshire's electronic realisation of his score (which remained the standard version of the Doctor Who theme for 18 years) that he is reputed to have said on hearing it, "Did I really write that?" He also offered to split his royalty with her, but this was prevented by BBC bureaucracy. The Doctor Who theme is one of Grainer's two most famous compositions, the other being the theme music for the ITC series The Prisoner, the latter theme based upon an earlier piece of music he had written entitled The Age of Elegance. In each case, the popularity is not based on the cult classic status of the series, but upon the music itself, which was uniquely suited to the storyline. The theme from Doctor Who has a driving-yet-mysterious sound, wh...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
