First of all, congratulations for the great work Garry has been doing with the "Dallas" scores he uploaded to YouTube. It´s amazing how he has improved (or covered maybe?) the original music and the devotion he clearly shows at performing this task. Please keep more coming. Also thanks to other fans who have shared some other themes and provided unknown information about this subject.
Last year I myself recorded a long number of "Dallas" scores and made a kind of "private" soundtrack for my own use, given that Warner or the composers don´t seem to be too interested in publishing these works from the series. I have uploaded 11 "Dallas" Suites to my new channel, which you can find here:

I decided to compile the music by composers, and choose my favorite episode cues and themes. The sound quality leaves a lot to be desired but I tried my best to edit all dialogues out, though not the sound effects. I upped the volume when necessary and toyed a little with what I had to get a better quality, but not too successfully. Here is a little sample:
Anyway, you can take a view at what each composer brought to the series, as well as a lot of frames of the scenes they scored. Since John Parker already released his own LP at the 80´s with the "Dallas" themes, I thought I´d be better focus on the rest of them. Late Angela Morley also did a great work in many episodes (25), but she came aboard quite late in the game (in Season 7) and also composed for the other supersoaps more often, and I don't associate her with "Dallas" anyway.
This is what you can hear by authors in my Channel:
- Jerrold Immel & Bruce Broughton (3 each)
- Richard Lewis Warren and Lance Rubin (2 each)
plus a "Bonus Track" with the cues for all the cliffhangers.
I hope you enjoy them!!
