 His lush scoring for the ballet sequences in Lerner and Loewe's "Brigadoon" (1954) have come to be regarded as high points of the orchestrator's art in the Golden Age of musicals.Although many of the films that Salinger worked on were Oscar-nominated for the adaptation of the music featured in them, according to industry practices at the time, nominations usually went to the musical directors/conductors of the music (such as Adolph Deutsch or André Previn), and not to orchestrators.Only once was Salinger nominated, for his "Show Boat" orchestrations.
