I skimmed through some of it, but I was updating missing/non existant composer credits on TV series on IMDB, via YouTube clips of end credits, and I happened to stumble upon a very short lived (only six episodes) TV series from 1991 called "My Life and Times".
I'm actually pleasantly surprised by it. It's nothing earth shaking, but it's very good, and even a little gripping. Written and plotted quite nicely. It's a damn shame it didn't get a full season -- leaving off the finale episode, you want more.
It deals with a young man going through life, love, family, loss, economoic woes, natural disaster, going from his youth, to his old age retirement in 2035.
The series is kind of prophetic in a way, with the "collapse of '98" (economic collapse), 50 million people unemployed, and then a natural disaster hits arund then. Check the show out. This along with an extremely good short lived series called , are the good things that just slipped by.
Anyway, there's no opening theme, but a closing credits piece by Holdridge (not included because every load had station advertisement talk over it), and the shows scoring in a small ensamble orchestra, using the lovely theme.
Scores:
1.1, 1.2, 1.4, and 1.5: Lee Holdridge
1.3: Alf Clausen
1.6: Don Davis
The scoring is sparce, used when needed with great effect. In fact, the complete scores to the whole series would probably be only 20 minutes.
I enjoyed the scoring very much. In fact, so much so I made this suite -- hopefully you'll all agree:
