Early life
One of Schifrins most recognizable and enduring compositions is the theme music for the long-running TV series Mission: Impossible. It is a distinctive tune written in
the uncommon 5/4 time signature. Similarly, Schifrins
theme for the hugely successful Mannix private eye TV
show was composed a year later in a 3/4 waltz time;
Schifrin composed several other jazzy and bluesy numbers over the years as additional incidental music for the
show.
Schifrins working score for 1973s The Exorcist was rejected by the lms director, William Friedkin. Schifrin
had written six minutes of dicult and heavy music
for the initial lm trailer, but audiences were reportedly frightened by the combination of sights and sounds.
Warner Bros. executives told Friedkin to instruct Schifrin
to tone it down with softer music, but Friedkin did not
relay the message. Schifrins nal score was thrown out
into the parking lot. Schifrin reported in an interview that
working with Friedkin was one of the most unpleasant experiences in his life.[3]
