The musical scores of Stanley Kubrick's films are often praised as
being innovative and forward-looking. Despite playing such an
important part in his productions, however, the ways in which
Kubrick used music to great effect is still somewhat mysterious to
many viewers. Although some viewers may know a little about the
music in 2001 or A Clockwork Orange, few are aware of the
particulars behind the music in Kubrick's other films. In Listening
to Stanley Kubrick: The Music in His Films, Christine Lee Gengaro
provides an in-depth exploration of the music that was composed for
Kubrick's films and places the pre-existent music he utilized into
historical context. Gengaro discusses the music in every single
work, from Kubrick's first films, including the documentary shorts
The Flying Padre and Day of the Fight, through all of his feature
films, from Fear and Desire to Eyes Wide Shut. No film is left out;
no cue is ignored. Besides closely examining the scores composed by
Gerald Fried for Kubrick's early works, Gengaro pays particular
attention to five of the director's most provocative and acclaimed
films-2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The
Shining, and Eyes Wide Shut. For each film, she engages the reader
by explaining how the music was excerpted (and changed, in some
cases), and how the historical facts about a musical piece add
layers of meaning-sometimes unintended-to the films. Meant for film
lovers, music lovers, and scholars, Listening to Stanley Kubrick is
a thoroughly researched examination into the musical elements of
one of cinema's most brilliant artists. Appropriate for a cinema
studies or music classroom, this volume will also appeal to any fan
of Kubrick's films.
