| Zusammenfassung: | "Victory at Sea, NBC-TV's innovative 1952-53 WWII documentary, was eventually broadcast to more than 100 million viewers worldwide. Its episodes chronicled the war's conflicts while highlighting the US Navy's contributions, NBC having sourced footage from the military, governments, and newsreel agencies of 14 nations. Victory's special distinction was its music, with each episode's nonstop score recorded by the acclaimed NBC Symphony Orchestra. The music was credited to Richard Rodgers--then at the height of his fame--as composer, and Robert Russell Bennett as arranger and conductor. In fact, Rodgers composed twelve piano themes; Bennett developed these endlessly for orchestra and, in addition, composed many hours of the score outright. Part One chronicles Victory's gestation and production at NBC, its reception, the series' afterlife in syndication and home video, and the score's "Gold Record" sales success on RCA records. Part Two examines each episode in turn, focusing on how the Bennett-scored music pairs with screen action. Every transformation of the much-used Rodgers themes is cited, along with the episodes' musical inter-relationships. The hundreds of musical examples generously sample the score's 11 and a half hours of music. NBC's Victory has been neglected by Richard Rodgers's biographers and by film historians. As the series celebrates its 70th anniversary, the Rodgers-Bennett score here finally receives recognition for its artistry and power"-- |

Its episodes chronicled the war's conflicts while highlighting the US Navy's contributions, NBC having sourced footage from the military, governments, and newsreel agencies of 14 nations. Victory's special distinction was its music, with each episode's nonstop score recorded by the acclaimed NBC Symphony Orchestra. The music was credited to Richard Rodgers--then at the height of his fame--as composer, and Robert Russell Bennett as arranger and conductor. In fact, Rodgers composed twelve piano themes; Bennett developed these endlessly for orchestra and, in addition, composed many hours of the score outright. Part One chronicles Victory's gestation and production at NBC, its reception, the series' afterlife in syndication and home video, and the score's "Gold Record" sales success on RCA records. Part Two examines each episode in turn, focusing on how the Bennett-scored music pairs with screen action. Every transformation of the much-used Rodgers themes is cited, along with the episodes' musical inter-relationships. The hundreds of musical examples generously sample the score's 11 and a half hours of music. NBC's Victory has been neglected by Richard Rodgers's biographers and by film historians.

Its episodes chronicled the war's conflicts while highlighting the US Navy's contributions, NBC having sourced footage from the military, governments, and newsreel agencies of 14 nations. Victory's special distinction was its music, with each episode's nonstop score recorded by the acclaimed NBC Symphony Orchestra. The music was credited to Richard Rodgers--then at the height of his fame--as composer, and Robert Russell Bennett as arranger and conductor. In fact, Rodgers composed twelve piano themes; Bennett developed these endlessly for orchestra and, in addition, composed many hours of the score outright. Part One chronicles Victory's gestation and production at NBC, its reception, the series' afterlife in syndication and home video, and the score's "Gold Record" sales success on RCA records. Part Two examines each episode in turn, focusing on how the Bennett-scored music pairs with screen action. Every transformation of the much-used Rodgers themes is cited, along with the episodes' musical inter-relationships. The hundreds of musical examples generously sample the score's 11 and a half hours of music. NBC's Victory has been neglected by Richard Rodgers's biographers and by film historians. As the series celebrates its 70th anniversary, the Rodgers-Bennett score here finally receives recognition for its artistry and power"-- Rodgers, Richard 1902-1979 Victory at sea (DE-588)1171626576 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1952-1953 gnd rswk-swf Zweiter Weltkrieg Motiv (DE-588)4133624-0 gnd rswk-swf Filmmusik (DE-588)4017129-2 gnd rswk-swf Fernsehserie (DE-588)4154072-4 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Rodgers, Richard / 1902-1979 / Victory at sea Bennett, Robert Russell / 1894-1981 Victory at sea (Television program) Television music / United States / History and criticism World War, 1939-1945 / Television and the war Victory at sea (Rodgers, Richard) Television music War and television United States 1939-1945 Criticism, interpretation, etc Rodgers, Richard 1902-1979 Victory at sea (DE-588)1171626576 u Filmmusik (DE-588)4017129-2 s Geschichte 1952-1953 z DE-604 USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Fernsehserie (DE-588)4154072-4 s Zweiter Weltkrieg Motiv (DE-588)4133624-0 s Online version Ferencz, George J.
