Hey -

Anyone know the source of the music for this episode? Online resources say "stock."

The scenes of Albert Salmi wandering down the city streets have some pretty dynamic music - would love to know the source / composer. Sounds like Williams of that era (though I know it's not).

TIA

According to Martin Grams Jr.'s book its "End Title" by Ernest Gold.

Don't ask me what it was the End Title for originally, I don't know either.

That's an original Twilight Zone episode, and all the cues have been identified (by episode) in the Twilight Zone Cafe "Musical Cues" section. Check it out:

That episode's cue list is on page 3, look for post #64.

Wow, LC - that's perfect timing!

We watched The Hitch-Hiker last night, and I was wondering about all the music. And didn't know about this terrific resource. Didn't take long to find what I was looking for.

Thanks a bunch!

Yes. Those guys at the TZ Cafe went all out on the music like a couple decades ago. Very nice group.

Last night I watched “The Trouble With Templeton” and may recreate a post from the original board but only from creaky memory. That score has always been a keeper from day one.

Will watch “Execution” a little later. It’s been a long time. And it’s think Albert Salmi think “Cliffordville” for me and ever since original airing.

Yer welcome. It's convenient to have an online resource if you can't access Martin Grams or Reba Wissner's books.

Time for me to go and listen to every Ernest Gold End Title until I find it.

Its an EZ Cue track from the mid-50s as the majority of TZ stock music were probably so don't expect to find it on Exodus or something.

It's unfortunate there is no source they could point to, which they explain after the Gold cue, "Opening," a few cues down from "End Title" (which sounds like the same music, btw):
Note: Although the titles of this and the previous Ernest Gold cue ("End Title") imply a specific source, there doesn't appear to be one.
Maybe MMM knows where they originated. I checked the CBS EZ Cue Library (which is more sampler than library), and the only Gold music included were 12 western cues.

Western music makes sense considering the subject matter of Execution (the episode also makes extensive use of "The Ambush" from Herrmann's Western Suite).

Seemingly, except it's a time travel story and his music overlays a contemporary setting. The only way to be sure (since nuking it from orbit wasn't an option) was to play the EZQ music, and it wasn't the same.
