Michel Chion is renowned for his explorations of the significance
of frequently overlooked elements of cinema, particularly the role
of sound. In this inventive and inviting book, Chion considers how
cinema has deployed music. He shows how music and film not only
complement but also transform each other. The first section of the
book examines film music in historical perspective, and the second
section addresses the theoretical implications of the crossover
between art forms. Chion discusses a vast variety of films across
eras, genres, and continents, embracing all the different genres of
music that filmmakers have used to tell their stories. Beginning
with live accompaniment of silent films in early movie houses, the
book analyzes Al Jolson's performance in The Jazz Singer, the
zither in The Third Man, Godard's patchwork sound editing, the
synthesizer welcoming the flying saucer in Close Encounters of the
Third Kind, and the Kinshasa orchestra in Felicite, among many
more. Chion considers both original scores and incorporation of
preexisting works, including the use and reuse of particular
composers across cinematic traditions, the introduction of popular
music such as jazz and rock, and directors' attraction to atonal
and dissonant music as well as musique concrete, of which he is a
composer. Wide-ranging and original, Music in Cinema offers a
welcoming overview for students and general readers as well as
refreshingly new and valuable perspectives for film scholars.
