Studies of pre-existing music in narrative cinema often focus on a
single film, composer or director. The approach here adopts a wider
perspective, placing a specific musical repertoire - baroque music
- in the context of its reception to explore its mobilisation in
post-war cinema. It shows how various revivals have shaped musical
fashion, and how cinema has drawn on resultant popularity and in
turn contributed to it. Close analyses of various films raise
issues of baroque musical style and form to question why
eighteenth-century music remains an exception to dominant
film-music discourses. Account is taken of changing modern
performance practice and its manifestation in cinema, particularly
in the biopic. This question of the reimagining of baroque
repertoire leads to consideration of pastiches and parodies to
which cinema has been particularly drawn, and subsequently to the
role that neobaroque music has played in more recent films.
