30th September 1965 saw the first airing of creator Gerry Anderson’s iconic "Supermarionation” series Thunderbirds. Set in the 2060s, the series follows the exploits of International Rescue, an organisation that uses technologically-advanced rescue vehicles to save human life. The series was notable for using marionette puppets but being filmed in the style of a feature film, incorporating dynamic shooting and lighting, and three-dimensional sets and extensive use of model miniatures. Special effects were directed by Derek Meddings, who later became known for his work on the James Bond (from Live and Let Die to GoldenEye), Superman and Batman (1989) movies. During his time working on Thunderbirds and Gerry Anderson’s other Supermarionation series, Meddings and his team developed a number of innovations in the filming of miniature models and landscapes which have since become standard in the industry.
Having collaborated with Anderson on six previous TV series, composer Barry Gray was the obvious choice to provide music for Thunderbirds. Employing a large orchestra which dwarfed other TV productions of the time, he made extensive use of leitmotif, which each of the Thunderbird machines having its own theme, as well as notable characters such as Lady Penelope and the Tracy family’s arch nemesis The Hood.
Now musicians, music students, conductors – any music lover – can study the complete score from Thunderbirds: Trapped in the Sky in this high-quality edition, carefully reproduced and edited from the original handwritten manuscript.

Have long dreamt of owning a Barry Gray orchestration and have already learned a good deal since attaining this score. Would love to see Barry’s scores for the Space: 1999 episodes Breakaway, A Matter of Life and Death, Black Sun and Another Time, Another Place, which Ralph Titterton generously allowed me to look through during a 2008 visit to his home in Esher (was in the UK for the Barry Gray Centenary Concert), perhaps released as a special single volume. Thanks, Chris, for making Barry’s classic television music available to his fans and admirers. William (Jacksonville, FL, USA)
