Biography

Dominic Frontiere, a renowned composer, brought his exceptional talent to the iconic television series, The Invaders, a science fiction program created by the ingenious Larry Cohen. This American television series, produced by Quinn Martin, aired on the prestigious ABC network for a span of two seasons, commencing on January 10, 1967, and concluding on March 26, 1968.

As the narrator of this captivating series, Frontiere's scores seamlessly wove together to create an atmosphere of suspense and intrigue, perfectly complementing the show's thought-provoking storylines. His work on The Invaders was not a departure from his previous endeavors, as he had previously provided scores for notable productions such as Twelve O'Clock High and The Outer Limits.

Following its initial run, The Invaders was rebroadcast on the Sci Fi Channel, allowing a new generation of viewers to experience the show's gripping narrative and Frontiere's masterful scoring. The series' association with the ABC Television Network during its first season only added to its prestige, solidifying its place as a landmark in the science fiction genre.
