Seems I have managed to mix in some of Beulah Land's soundtrack here at around 24 minutes in.

I made a list on Spotify with songs that appeared on the documentary After Dynasty from 2002.

It has 18 tracks and is in chronological order:

2. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - Remastered - Eurythmics, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart
3. Big Spender - Shirley Bassey
4. Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On) - 2010 Remaster - Spandau Ballet
5. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me - Culture Club
6. Fever - Peggy Lee
7. Two Tribes - Frankie Goes To Hollywood
8. The Look Of Love - Dusty Springfield
9. Mad About the Boy - Dinah Washington
10. Material Girl - Madonna
11. I'm Gonna Make You Love Me - Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Temptations
12. Diamonds and Pearls - Prince
13. U Got the Look - Prince
14. Gold - Spandau Ballet
15. I'm Your Money - Heaven 17
16. Spitting in the Wind - George Drakoulias Mix - Badly Drawn Boy
17. Baby (You've Got What It Takes) - Dinah Washington, Brook Benton
18. Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears

Well, as long as I like it myself, I guess...

Does anybody here compiled the songs that were sung or, hummed, during the running of the show? I made a list once and found more than I thought.

Wraps up John E. Davis and begins Marvin Laird.

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

We needed oboe, spinet, piano, acoustic guitar, cello, trumpet (occasionally) and harp... And that's rarely what we got.

I mostly like the composition for Season 9, except for episode #9.17, "Sins of the Father" -- the installment opens up with Alexis and Adam returning to her Carlton suite after having visited Elsworth Chisholm, and end with Zorelli watching Blake, Dex and Jeff out on a boat in the lake (the latter moment being the best part of the score).

I like the entry itself, but it's the only episode from Season 9 where Dennis McCarthy's score just sounds lazily obligatory, rising and falling with bombasticity, and undermines the drama.

It really should have been something a little Bernard Herrmann-esque, that episode's score.

I have a lot of complaints about DYNASTY's sometimes excessive, boringly woodwindy music. Scores are so important to establish atmosphere, mood and emotional subtext, that a wrong-headed score can do more damage than good. But I like Season 9 so much, that it's notable when one composition in particular rubs me the wrong way.

Oh, my pie-in-the-sky ambitions for the show's artistry.

Oh, my pie-in-the-sky ambitions for the show's artistry.

Either you can write and produce your own soap based on what you wanted for DYNASTY... or you can use AI.

I just love the beautiful music after the scene where Blake and Ashley meet at La Mirage and then the fade over to the house and K. in the library waiting for Blake.

I so want more of that piece of music!
