First published in 1998, music scored for film has only relatively
recently received the critical attention which it merits. Many
composers in the twentieth century have written works for films or
documentaries, a number feeling that this aspect of their output
has been undervalued. This dictionary complements other studies
which have appeared in recent years which look at the technical and
theoretical issues concerned with film music composition. Arranged
alphabetically by composer, the volume comprises over 500 entries
covering all nationalities. Each entry includes very brief
biographical information on the composer, followed by a list of the
films (with dates) for which he or she has composed. Details of
recordings are also given. The dictionary's international coverage
ensures that it will become a standard reference work for all those
interested in the history of twentieth-century music and the
development of film.
This significant volume is the first to present in detail the
entire prolific vocal repertoire of the late-Romantic German
composer Max Reger. The Songs of Max Reger: A Guide and Study
begins with a brief introduction discussing the development of
German Lied, then journeys through this creative composer's works
for voice and piano. With many musical examples, Richard Mercier
and Donald Nold present a survey and discussion of Reger's lifetime
of song output. The book proceeds through the songs chronologically
by opus number, discussing each individually. All entries include
details pertinent to the song's particular poem, its musical
setting, the date of musical composition, the vocal range required,
and discussion of specific vocal and pianistic features. The text
also provides the original German poem, word-for-word English
translation of the German text, IPA (International Phonetic
Alphabet) pronunciation symbols for the German, and a prose version
of the poetic text in English for better appreciation of the piece.
An index and two appendixes complete this important reference,
arranging the songs by title and poet and supplying information on
vocal range, level of difficulty, and gender. Designed for the
classical vocal music enthusiast and invaluable to the singer and
vocal coach, this book, commemorating the 135th anniversary of the
composer's birth, will also appeal to accompanists, Reger scholars,
and lovers of German Lieder and German art and culture.

Music is central to any film, creating a tone for the movie that is
just as vital as the visual and narrative components. In recent
years, racial and gender diversity in film has exploded, and the
making of musical scores has changed drastically.
"Hearing Film" offers the first critical examination of music in
the films of the 1980s and 1990s and looks at the burgeoning role
of compiled scores in the shaping of a film . In the first section,
"A Woman Scored," Kassabian analyzes desire and agency in the music
of such films as "Dangerous" "Liaisons, Desert Hearts, Bagdad Cafe,
Dirty Dancing" and "Thelma and Louise." In "At the Twilight's Last
Scoring," she looks at gender, race, sexuality and assimilation in
the music of "The Hunt for Red October, Lethal Weapon 2" and
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." And finally, in "Opening
Scores," she considers how films such as "Dangerous Minds, The
Substitute, Mississippi Masala" and "Corrina, Corrina" bring
together several different entry points of identification through
their scores.
Kassabian ensures that modern film criticism has a new chapter
written through this book. Her important and long-overdue analysis
is not to be ignored. Also includes 11 musical examples.

(Book). Jimi Hendrix was such an extraordinary guitarist, it can be
easy to forget that just as much passion, soul, and precision went
into his lyrics. Inspired by Bob Dylan, Hendrix was a fearless
lyrical innovator, willing to let his imagination guide him to
landscapes hitherto unexplored within the realm of pop music. From
the existential euphoria of "I Don't Love Today" to the elusive
beauty of "Little Wing" to the psychedelic blues of "My Friend" to
the otherworldly "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)," his lyrics
remain among the greatest in the pantheon of rock, infused with the
same inventiveness, virtuosity, and courage that informed his
guitar playing. Here are all the words to the Hendrix classics
you've rocked along to for years, as well as unpublished songs from
Valleys of Neptune and other hitherto undiscovered sources. Jimi
Hendrix: The Ultimate Lyrics Book, compiled by Janie L. Hendrix, is
extraordinarily personal. It includes numerous examples of Jimi's
handwritten lyrics, often scribbled on hotel stationery, as well as
photos of Jimi to accompany every song. Much of this material has
never been seen before. Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Lyrics Book will
give you a glimpse of the lyricist behind the songs, a songwriter
whose words were just as searing as his solos.
In this compilation, first published in 1999, Ian Ledsham compiles
