This groundbreaking collection by the most distinguished
musicologists and film scholars in their fields gives long overdue
recognition to music as equal to the image in shaping the
experience of film. Refuting the familiar idea that music serves as
an unnoticed prop for narrative, these essays demonstrate that
music is a fully imagined and active power in the worlds of film.
Even where films do give it a supporting roleOCoand many do much
moreOComusic makes an independent contribution. Drawing on recent
advances in musicology and cinema studies, "Beyond the Soundtrack"
interprets the cinematic representation of music with unprecedented
richness. The authors cover a broad range of narrative films, from
the silent era (not so silent) to the present. Once we think beyond
the soundtrack, this volume shows, there is no unheard music in
cinema."
