6 feet UNDER: TV series; original sound track? other source? CD of it?!


Question: I have no idea how many of you if any, will remember the TV series, "6 ft. under": about an L.A. dysfunctional, undertaker's family? A mother, her daughter and two sons?

The music which accompanied the opening of each show, suddenly today from out of nowhere came to mind.

A solo oboe would sound, which was then punctuated with a rapid upward rush of staccato of the strings: this passage was repeated throughout the introductory credits for each show.

I was wondering if any one knew for certain, if this was an original score wirtten specifically for that series, or was it derived from another source. Or perhaps the name of the composer?

Do any of you know which of the above is correct, and whether or not a CD of it was ever issued?

Thanks,

Alberich

Hi Alberich (I like the new name!),

The theme was written by Thomas Newman specifically for the show and you can listen to it (and buy it) here http://www.amazon.com/Six-Feet-Under-Ori... and maybe here (I couldn't but you may have the right software) http://www.hbo.com/sixfeetunder/credits/... Newman also scored 'American Beauty'.

Happy New Year :)

Edit: Wow, he's very talented and prolific - see the following http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Newm...
