Music in the Western: Notes from the Frontier presents essays
from both film studies scholars and musicologists on core issues in
western film scores: their history, their generic conventions,
their operation as part of a narrative system, their functioning
within individual filmic texts and their ideological import,
especially in terms of the western 's construction of gender,
sexuality, race and ethnicity. The Hollywood western is marked as
uniquely American by its geographic setting, prototypical male
protagonist and core American values. Music in the Western examines
these conventions and the scores that have shaped them. But the
western also had a resounding international impact, from Europe to
Asia, and this volume distinguishes itself by its careful
consideration of music in non-Hollywood westerns, such as Ravenous
and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and in the easterns which
influenced them, such as Yojimbo. Other films discussed include
Wagon Master, High Noon, Calamity Jane, The Big Country, The
Unforgiven, Dead Man, Wild Bill, There Will Be Blood and No Country
for Old Men.
