From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shirley Walker (April 10, 1945 - November 29, 2006) was an American television and film composer and conductor. She was one of only a very few female film score composers.
Walker's Legacy
Shirley Walker served as composer for numerous productions, including films such as
Memoirs of an Invisible Man,
Willard and the
Final Destination trilogy of movies and television series such as
Falcon Crest,
Space: Above and Beyond,
China Beach, and
The Flash.
The Flash was one of many collaborations Walker did with composer Danny Elfman. She was his conductor on projects such as
Scrooged and
Batman. She had tirelessly served as a Board Member and Vice President for The Society of Composers & Lyricists (SCL), often speaking out on behalf of composers and their working conditions. Articles and interviews are written by and about Shirley Walker in the SCL's publication, THE SCORE, a publication in print since 1986 by and about professional film/television/video game composers, songwriters and lyricists -- and where Shirley spoke her mind.

Her association with the popular DC Comics character extended to television where she served as composer on
Batman: The Animated Series,

Despite the fact that very few female composers exist, Shirley Walker was not recognized during the "In Memoriam" segment of 79th Academy Awards
