This book explores the role of music in the some five hundred
feature-length films on the Middle Ages produced between the late
1890s and the present day. Haines focuses on the tension in these
films between the surviving evidence for medieval music and the
idiomatic tradition of cinematic music. The latter is taken broadly
as any musical sound occurring in a film, from the clang of a bell
off-screen to a minstrel singing his song. Medieval film music must
be considered in the broader historical context of pre-cinematic
medievalisms and of medievalist cinema's main development in the
course of the twentieth century as an American appropriation of
European culture. The book treats six pervasive moments that define
the genre of medieval film: the church-tower bell, the trumpet
fanfare or horn call, the music of banquets and courts, the singing
minstrel, performances of Gregorian chant, and the music that
accompanies horse-riding knights, with each chapter visiting
representative films as case studies. These six signal musical
moments, that create a fundamental visual-aural core central to
making a film feel medieval to modern audiences, originate in
medievalist works predating cinema by some three centuries.
