Biography of Earle Hagen

Earle Hagen, who composed, conducted, and arranged music, was born in 1919. As a young trombonist, he played with big bands and did some composing, including "Harlem Nocturne" (1940). After serving in the Army Air Corps Radio and Film Unit in Santa Ana, he joined 20th Century Fox as an orchestrator in 1947, working under Lionel Newman. He scored a number of motion pictures before changing to television production, scoring for producer Sheldon Leonard, for whom he worked for seventeen years. He composed the music for "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960-1968) and "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (1961-1966). He won an Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Musical Composition for the episode "Laya" of the television series "I Spy." He scored over 2,000 episodes of top-rated television shows, including "Make Room for Daddy"/"The Danny Thomas Show" and "The Mod Squad." He also taught young composers and influenced the field through them. He wrote two texts, "Scoring for Films" (1971) and "Advanced Techniques for Film Scoring" (1990).
