“Mask of the Phantasm” composer dies


From Paul Dini’s Live Journal:

Just learned Shirley Walker passed away at age 61. Shirley was the composer we worked with on many of the Warner Bros. animated adventure series: BATMAN, SUPERMAN, BATMAN BEYOND, THE ZETA PROJECT as well as a number of direct to videos. In addition to be a tremendously talented composer, Shirley was one of the sweetest people you could ever hope to meet.

I could go on and on about how amazing her music was, but any of her scores could tell you better.

Shirley did the music for “Mask of the Phantasm” and created a new choral Batman theme that was so good it replaced the Danny Elfman theme as the opening for “Batman: The Animated Series.” R.I.P.
