Gerald Fried. Soundtrack: Star Trek Into Darkness. Composer, author and oboist, educated at Juilliard (BS). He was first oboist for the Dallas Symphony and the New York Little Orchestra between 1948 and 1956. Then he joined Revue Studios in California, lasting until 1960, thereafter working freelance. Joining ASCAP in 1956, his chief musical collaborators included Johnny Mercer and Jack Brooks.
An iconic, hardworking, and prolific film and TV artist of the 1950s-80s, and a long, rewarding and full life.
Fried’s scores are consistently expressive and fresh. Filled with joy and exuberance, even as they’re often melodically, harmonically, and rhythmically complex. Plaintive and soaring woodwinds, aggressive percussion, and, especially in his work for Gilligan’s Island and The Man From UNCLE, a gleeful embrace of absurdity.
