Hi Doug,

Please tell us - do you have any favorite Morton Stevens scores?

I think MASADA is one of them, but are there any others?

God, I just love all his stuff!

Thanks!...-:)

I hope someone throws you a bone soon.

I've been revisiting Thriller lately, a show of which his scores are quite good. His score for "Pigeons from Hell" really did its utmost in enhancing the creepy mood and atmosphere of that classic episode.

I was just thinking of Mort, as he has been gone now for 23 years today - where did that time go?

Anyway, here's to hoping that we will see a CD or two of his wonderful music soon... :-)

Wasn't there some talk about a CD release of the 1985 TWILIGHT ZONE?

I would love to see Mort's work from the series, including:

THE NIGHT OF THE MEEK (Classic Stevens)
THE LITTLE PEOPLE (Classic Stevens)
THE BEACON
THE STAR (Excellent - Classic Stevens)

Anyway, here's to hoping... :-)

I Was just watching the next to last episode of CIMARRON STRIP on my DVD box set and I just love how Mort Stevens continued to use cues of his "Major Glory" score from GUNSMOKE in the show (Mort was credited as "Music Supervisor").

I never tire of hearing these cues - they just plain WORK!

MAJOR GLORY is a very exciting and unusual score for a western and it is such a pleasure to listen to. I have this episode on DVR, but I look forward to getting an official DVD release when CBS puts out Season Thirteen of GUNSMOKE.

Anyway, Mort received a well-deserved Emmy Nomination for MAJOR GLORY. Bruce Broughton has also mentioned that it is one of his favorite Mort Stevens scores....truly wonderful stuff!!!... :-)
