Another one of the great and all-time key ingredients to the enduring success of the classic Battlestar Galactica- the music composed and conducted by Stu Phillips- a friend and mainstay of Glen A. Lason who'd work on many of his film/TV projects- and two men who recognised and were influenced by the success of John Williams classic score for the sci-fi blockbuster Star Wars. Though continually up against the clock for the creation of the original film and mini-series music in 1978, Phillips ultimately thrived on the challenge, delivering an impressive and memorable score lasting throughout the original run's singular season into 1979, with created pieces organically fused alongside the prestigious Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, then keen to spread their wings on diverse projects, of which Galactica's wide-ranging score of drama and excitement brought to life through their musicians was surely one of their finest accomplishments.
