Aw, LOVED his stuff at GH and PC. I guess he and Julie are friends from their days at GH and PC together...

I didn't know he was still composing music for anything outside of the sinking ship that is ER.

One JHC has always been good at is hiring great music composers.

I wonder what happened. Did JFP stupidly fire him or did JHC steal him away?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

RC Cates is another former GH-er I just noticed from the list as well...

He still composing for GH too.

Wow, didn't know that. He and Marty should compose for OLTL as well then LOL, I've always thought they had the weakest background music of the ABC soaps and the most generic.

JFP is notorious for reworking scoring and background music on the soaps she works for. I'm surprised he stayed there as long as he did with her as his boss.

Was it Shelly Curtis who hied him at GH? I notice Corday and Langan went fire crazy in the early 90's and Curtis, Davich, and Francesca James all went over to GH.

I LOVED Carly's theme as well. They occasionally play this background music from time to time now, but I've noticed that they've chopped it up so badly.




And how could anyone not love Sonny and Brenda's theme?

[Kubla Khan]

I'm really glad that he's at AMC. I was thinking today, that besides the good writing and acting, the background music has really perfected the shows this week.

[Toups]

Here's another example. At 3:10, Roman's theme (that's what I call it, I don't know if it was actually his theme) kicks in. I love this piece!!




Another example of Roman's theme.....10 years later. It kicks in at 6:30: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYYAvG1o0k

WOW! I just finished watching Wednesday's episode and I thought, gee the background music is sooo good. Then I come here to read this!

I actually love OLTL's BG music because it's so dark and gothic. David Nichtern and Lee Holdridge have been there since 1992. I love them!

JFP is notorious for reworking scoring and background music on the soaps she works for. I'm surprised he stayed there as long as he did with her as his boss.

That's no surprise. She used to be a music supervisor for GH (70's) and SB (early 80's)

Was it Shelly Curtis who hied him at GH? I notice Corday and Langan went fire crazy in the early 90's and Curtis, Davich, and Francesca James all went over to GH.

Yeah, it was probably Shelley. He arrived in 1993. I also have him at DAYS in 1994.

And how could anyone not love Sonny and Brenda's theme?

One of the best themes ever!

I LOVED Carly's theme as well. They occasionally play this background music from time to time now, but I've noticed that they've chopped it up so badly.

Oh you're right. Now they just play the beginning part of that.

[DevotedToAMC]

I have always liked and appreciated AMC's music...it really adds a lot to the scenes

[Kubla Khan]

So when did Marty leave GH?

[Toups]

So when did Marty leave GH?

In 2005.

[DevotedToAMC]

Hell I would leave GH so I would not have to work for The Wicked Witch of the West JFP

[MarkH]

He still composing for GH too.

Example of Marty's greatness:

the music is cool...I'm moved by that beautifully written scene more....

ETA: You people are killing me. Those GH clips, that Days clip....great actors, lots of locations, beautiful music, and storylines that--AT A GLANCE--made me feel something and hooked me in.

Don't ever post these clips again please :-). It's like looking at that aging relative (a metaphor I keep using), and seeing how much they have lost compared to how they used to be. I can scarcely bear to look.

[Sylph]

Oh, I love Marty. But, Toups, I'm surprised!! How come you pay attention to music? I didn't know you had a thing for it!

I'm impartial and think that B&B has magnificent music. With Y&R coming a very close second. I especially like that mysterious woodwind music, I think it's an oboe... Though I'm not 100% sure.

[LoveDays]

I had noticed the background music (instrumental cues) too being so pretty and really just made the scenes come together on AMC. Now I know why! Marty Davich is absolutely the best. His music is so pretty. I loved when he was on Days. He was the best at Days. He was even a character on there, using his name Marty. He played the piano at Doug's Place all the time. I wish he would come back to DAYS as well.

Oh watching those Days clips of when Roman first "died" and Bo talking to him on the beach, just took me back to a time when writers knew how to write a great story using location and all characters on the canvas. Everything tied together wonderfully. Then I went to YOUTUBE and watched the scenes from Belle's Baptism to hear more of Marty's music. Those scenes with Deidre Hall and Wayne Northrop are pure gold and EMMY WORTHY material. It upsets me that back then when DAYS actors and actresses pulled off such great acting through the material they had, that they were not acknowledged or recognized. I was feeling for Roman as he went off on Marlena and I was feeling for Marlena when she was trying to explain and plead with Roman about how much she loves him and will do whatever it takes to save their marriage. They are both outstanding actors and both of them deserved Emmy wins that year! That's my little rant!

I love the music from that scene. I've always enjoyed the AMC background music, so I'm glad to hear that Marty's over at AMC.

[Toups]

Oh, I love Marty. But, Toups, I'm surprised!! How come you pay attention to music? I didn't know you had a thing for it!

You didn't? LOL I've been raving about Marty Davich for years now. Yeah, I pay attention to the music. I love background music. I download tv/film scores that I love.

I'm impartial and think that B&B has magnificent music.

I think B&B has one of the worse BG music. I hate the saxaphone cues especially. B&B's music is so cheesy. There's nothing beautiful or sad or haunting or dramatic. It's just.....horrible. LOL

With Y&R coming a very close second. I especially like that mysterious woodwind music, I think it's an oboe... Though I'm not 100% sure.

Y&R's very good with the drama and tension and suspense.

It's hard to believe B&B/Y&R share the same composers. They're so good at one show while sucking at another show.
