This book is a major new study - dealing with notions of film music
as a device that desires to control its audience, using a most
powerful thing: emotion. The author emphasises the manipulative and
ephemeral character of film music dealing not only with traditional
orchestral film music, but also looks at film music's colonisation
of television, and discusses pop music in relation to films, and
the historical dimensions to ability to possess audiences that have
so many important cultural and aesthetic effects. It challenges the
dominant but limited conception of film music as restricted to film
by looking at its use in television and influence in the world of
pop music and the traditional restriction of analysis to 'valued'
film music, either from 'name' composers' or from the 'golden era'
of Classical Hollywood. Focusing on areas as diverse as horror, pop
music in film, ethnic signposting, television drama and the
soundtrack without a film- this is an original study which expands
the range of writing on the subject.
