Will H. Schaefer, a composer whose music accompanied hit television shows such as "I Dream of Jeannie" and "The Flintstones," has died. He was 78. Schaefer died Saturday of cancer in a nursing home in Cathedral City near Palm Springs, California...
The Wisconsin-native wrote background music, which is different from theme songs, for such TV shows as "The Flying Nun," "Hogan's Heroes," "The AristoCats," "The Jetsons," "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" and "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson.

(My two cents worth...)
While that music is "in the background", next time you you hear such a piece, think about how it adds to the scene and how empty the scene would be without it.
