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:

1. Dynasty - The Hollywood Prime Time Orchestra
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.
