Brian May (composer)
Brian May (28 July 1934 – 25 April 1997) was an Australian film composer and conductor who was a prominent figure during the Australian New Wave. He is perhaps best known for his scores to ''Mad Max'' and ''Mad Max 2''.〔Ivan Hutchinson, "Brian May", ''Cinema Papers'', Feb-March 1985 p47-49, 88〕
== Life and career ==
May was born in Adelaide on 28 July 1934. He trained at the Adelaide Elder Conservatorium as a pianist, violinist and conductor. He joined the ABC Adelaide in 1957 and was asked to form and conduct the ABC Adelaide Big Band, a full-blown ensemble that was rated as the best of the ABC state-based bands. He moved to Melbourne when he was 35 to arrange and conduct the ABC's Melbourne Show band. The Show Band made its radio debut on the First Network on 13 March 1969. Background music for Australian television had previously been taken from records. May changed this by writing and arranging the themes for television programmes, including ''Bellbird'', ''Return to Eden'', ''The Last Frontier'', ''A Dangerous Life'' and ''Darling of the Gods''.
A breakthrough for May was the drama series ''Rush'', set on the 19th-century Victorian goldfields. The theme was composed by Australian George Dreyfus, but May's arrangement of the theme was recorded by the Show Band and quickly reached the top of the Australian charts, selling more than 100,000 copies. This type of success was usually reserved for pop groups such as Sherbert and Skyhooks. May also composed the Countdown theme and the Melbourne Show Band launched the highly successful ''Countdown'' television series. He left the ABC in 1984 and his interests turned to film music. He composed more than 30 feature film scores, including ''Gallipoli'', ''Mad Max'', ''Mad Max 2'', ''Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare'', ''Dr. Giggles'' and one episode of ''Tales from the Crypt''. May preferred to orchestrate his scores himself.
