    It has been a good year for television music fans. With the  Battlestar
    Galactica Anthology set, fans have been  able to get their hands on  an
    extensive look at the music for that sci-fi series. Not to be  outdone,
    The Twilight Zone has a major 40th Anniversary celebration in the  form
    of a four CD set that contains a ton of music from the likes of Bernard
    Herrmann, Jerry  Goldsmith, and  many others.  Silva Screen  has really
    done an excellent job with  this compilation. The sound quality  is top
    notch and several nice  features, like having several  major selections
    from  the CBS  music  library,  and the  opening title  music with  and
    without Rod Serling's opening narrative.

    The first and second CDs contain a look at the musical contributions by
    Bernard  Herrmann and  Jerry  Goldsmith  respectively. Included  on the
    first disc are Herrmann's original main title sequence (which was  only
    used  for the  first season),  and his  revised main  title (which  was
    ultimately rejected  in favor  of what  would become  the show's famous
    opening sequence). His "Outer Space Suite" for the CBS Music Library is
    also included. Herrmann composed  scores for seven episodes  during his
    stint on the series, four of  which are included in the form  of suites
    on this CD.  This music for  the pilot episode  ("Where is Everybody?")
    was composed around the same time that Hitchcock's Psycho was receiving
    its musical  terror. The  similarities are  there, but  the music never
    hits the same  horrifying reaches that  Psycho did. It  goes no farther
    then echoing the tense music that underscored Marion Crane's attempt to
    make off with the ill-gotten  forty thousand dollars. In fact,  that is
    the way the music  runs on most of  the shows. It never  really crosses
    into the  realm of  pure horror,  preferring instead  to remain  on the
    suspense  mode, much  like the  show itself.  The space  music is  very
    interesting, especially  in comparisons  with how  sci-fi projects  are
    scored today.

    The next disc  contains the talents  of Jerry Goldsmith,  who was staff
    composer at CBS at  the time The Twilight  Zone was being produced.  It
    was during  this second  season that  Marius Constant  wove two  of his
    previous compositions together  and came up  with the theme  that would
    remain  for  the  remainder  of the  run  of  the  show. The  Goldsmith
    contributions on this CD are  mostly Western music in nature,  with the
    major exception  of "The  Invaders." This  episode took  me totally  by
    surprise when I first  saw it and has  since become one of  my personal
    favorites. Goldsmith composes an otherworldly and suspenseful piece  of
    music for this show, and it is the highlight of the second CD.

    The third  and forth  CDs feature  music by  various composers, most of
    which follow  in same  tense style  that makes  up the  scores for  the
    previous episodes. The one major exception is Nathan Van Cleave.  While
    the use of synth became a trademark of Goldsmith scores, Van Cleave  is
    the one who incorporated their use into his music for the series. A lot
    of  his work  is almost  entirely synthesized  with the  Novachord  and
    Theremin (the same synth  instrument that Herrmann used  so effectively
    in The Day the Earth Stood  Still). This gives these episodes a  really
    eerie edge  to them  that set  them apart  from the  rest of the music.
    Though  he still  makes use  of a  small accompaniment  of  traditional
    players, the haunting synth sounds are a constant presence.

    This  collection  is very  nice  due to  the  comprehensiveness of  the
    overview that  it presents.  It's very  interesting to  listen to  some
    stock library cues composed by the likes of Herrmann and Goldsmith, and
    this is probably the oldest  Goldsmith music on CD. Twilight  Zone fans
    are surely livid and need no prodding. However, for the rest of you out
    there  you might  want to  think long  and hard.  With four  CDs it  is
    especially expensive, and due to the nature of the series, most of  the
    music is dark in  nature and not really  something that you would  want
    listen to very  often. That said,  I am still  very impressed with  the
    ambitiousness of this set  and for those of  you who are interested  in
    what is contained on these four CDs you won't be disappointed. ****1/2
