In recent years, there has been something of an explosion in the
performance of live music to silent films. There is a wide range of
films with live and new scores that run from the historically
accurate orchestral scores to contemporary sounds by groups such as
Pet Shop Boys or by experimental composers and gothic heavy metal
bands. It is no exaggeration to claim that music constitutes a
bridge between the old silent film and the modern audience; music
is also a channel for non-scholarly audiences to gain an
appreciation of silent films. Music has become a means both for
musicians and audiences to understand this bygone film art anew.
This book is the first of its kind in that it aims to bring
together writings and interviews to delineate the culture of
providing music for silent films. It not only has the character of
a scholarly work but is also something of a manual in that it
discusses how to make music for silent films.
