Gerhard Trede was a successful composer in Germany from the 1950's through the 1970's. He composed for a variety of German television programs and documentaries, and composed music for the Selected Sound Library, a producer of "library music" or "production music" used by producers of television, radio, and film because it offers simple flat licensing terms. A large number of his works were purchased by Sonoton, another German production music company, and form the "Trede Library".
