Dragon’s Domain Records presents the world premiere release of music from the original score composed by the legendary Lalo Schifrin for the 1971 television movie written and produced by Sam Rolfe (HAVE GUN – WILL TRAVEL, THE NAKED SPUR, THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.), directed by David Lowell Rich (ROUTE 66, THE HORROR AT 37,000 FEET, THAT MAN BOLT), starring Eric Braeden, Stephen Young, Corinne Camacho, Walter Pidgeon, Inger Stevens, Joseph Wiseman, William Marshall, Christopher Cary and Lincoln Kilpatrick.
Airing on television in early March 1970, THE MASK OF SHEBA was a two hour pilot for a series that never got picked up and follows Dr. Roan Morgan (Braeden), an archaeologist-anthropologist and his teammates, engineer Travis Comanche (Young) and Dr. Joanna Glenville (Camacho), who report to Dr. Max Van Condon (Pidgeon), who is the head of the Foundation Of Man, an organization that searches the globe for ancient artifacts to help document historical events or people and funds Morgan’s expeditions. After a Foundation cartographer goes missing in the jungles of Ethiopia while trying to map an ancient trail, his wife Sarah (Stevens) appears at the Foundation with a 3,000-year-old amulet sent to her by her husband, demanding to join the expedition to find him and what may possibly be a priceless treasure, including a golden, jewel-encrusted mask of the legendary queen of Sheba, waiting to be recovered.
As a young man in his native Argentina, Lalo Schifrin received classical training in music and also studied law. He came from a musical family, and his father, Luis Schifrin, was the concertmaster of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Buenos Aires at the Teatro Colon. Schifrin continued his formal music education at the Paris Conservatory during the early 1950’s, studying with numerous teachers including famed composer Olivier Messiaen. Simultaneously, he became a professional jazz pianist, composer and arranger, playing and recording in Europe. When Schifrin returned to Buenos Aires in the mid 1950s, he formed his own big concert band. It was during a performance of this band that Dizzy Gillespie heard Schifrin play and asked him to become his pianist and arranger. In 1958, Schifrin moved to the United States and thus began a remarkable career.
Lalo Schifrin has written more than 100 scores for films and television. Among the classic scores are MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, MANNIX, THE FOX, COOL HAND LUKE, BULLITT, DIRTY HARRY, THE CINCINNATI KID, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR. Recent scores include TANGO, BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE, THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY, AFTER THE SUNSET, the RUSH HOUR films and ABOMINABLE.
Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE MASK OF SHEBA, featuring music composed by Lalo Schifrin for the first time on digital. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and includes exclusive liner notes written by noted author Jon Burlingame.
