Lest there be any doubt, the theme tune of Dynasty was composed by Bill Conti. I guess the opulent orchestration is the work of Neil Argo.
One of the comments on YouTube describes it as a “masterpiece” :https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wdTOxekUUwE
Michael Tippett enjoyed this soap opera.
Thank you for pointing out that Bill Conti wrote the Dynasty Theme along with other great TV and Film scores.
He died in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Also the home and place of death of another Dynasty composer, Angela Morley.
