The Dynasty soundtrack.

Now that I am done with the soundtrack for Falcon Crest's 9 seasons I have decided to tackle Dynasty next. Rather than go season by season as with FC I will do Dynasty composer by composer, starting with the queen of the violins herself, Angela Morley. Since she also did work on The Colbys I have included that as well.

The video had been blocked unfortunately. :(
Oh man, that's SOOO stupid of CBS! It was a really great video and i was hoping so much for the other composers, but if CBS reacts like a little baby because of rights, i'm not sure, if we will get those. So frustrating!
Maybe it would be better to upload on dailymotion?

Luckily Youtube did not block the video for all its content, there only were a little over 5 minutes of material that got it blocked. Dominique's singing, Moldavia's theme, Dex and Stevens penthouse fight and a jazz piece I assume was not Morley's work. I have edited the material out and will attempt a reupload. So hopefully I can continue my work so we can all enjoy the music Dynasty composed.

I am sorry. They let me upload, then days later have me edit out content. And when I reupload a few days passes and they again object to new content. Maybe they do not want me to share for free the soundtrack they have not tried to make money on in 40 years, who knows.

I looked forward to doing the great soundtrack for Dynasty but it is not worth YT's hassle. My apologies.

Great piece, thanks for posting.
The composers for Dynasty did great work . I loved Peter Myers, Lance Rubin and Gerald Fried’s work. Angela Morley too. They had some of the best in the business at that time.

Thanks a lot for your intentions, as always excellent. I also had problems with my score uploads for "Dynasty". The recordings of selected episodes were allowed, but the whole score for the Pilot was blocked. This didn´t happen with "Knots" and "Falcon", but did happen once with "Dallas". Good luck!

Loved Duane Tatro’s work from Dynasty Season 4, 5 and 6 as well as The Colby’s Season 1. He also worked on Matt Houston, Hotel, Glitter and Love Boat.
Angela Morley’s work on Dynasty from Seasons 5 - 8 was sublime and she was nominated for an Emmy twice for her work on Dynasty.

Duane Tatro's music for the birthday party (around 25 minutes) is really nice, it sounds like something from a ballet. Dominique's introduction 'around 32 minutes) is great too. His music is less inspired ater season 4 but is great again for "The Colbys".
As for Richard Markowitz, the music used for the cliffhanhger of season 3 (and recycled for the catfight between Krystle and Rita in season 6) is also awesome.
