A Noted Television Theme

 

Jerrold Immel (1936-) is an American television music composer, famous for his theme to the television series, Dallas. Accompanying sweeping aerial filming of the Ewing ranch, Immel captured the expanse of Texas in the fashion of an epic western but with a disco tempo and his use of soaring french horns to carry the melody. Lesser known is his theme to Voyagers!, the short-lived science fiction series about time travel that aired on NBC. Immel got his break into television scoring with CBS in the Seventies, composing for Gunsmoke, and contributed to Hawaii Five-O, Logan's Run, Walker, Texas Ranger, and Knots Landing. His film scores include Matilda (1978), Death Hunt (1981), Sourdough (1981), and Megaforce (1982).
