Need help identifying a musical genre
Hello folks,
currently I'm trying to identify a musical genre and I thought that this forum might be the one most closely related to it. Basically the type of song I'm looking for sounds like this: - Mostly classical instruments - Often lead by strings - (sometimes) Fast disco-like beat - Usually heroic undertone - Often used in 80s soaps and cop dramas Examples may include: - Opening theme to the Dallas soap series - Opening theme to Knots landing - Opening theme to Dynasty Thanks a lot! |

I would agree, sounds like you're thinking of "80s Film Score" Music. During the time, that style was pretty popular in other genres as well, like the Phantom of the Opera [/URL] musical written in 1986 (orchestra, fast disco-beat, lead by strings, and synths). I think you forgot about the brass too! Remnants of that "Big Band" style are still in there.
Of course, we could make up a name for the genre if you want
