Winner of the Southwest Popular and American Culture Association's
2016 Peter C. Rollins Book Award in the category of Film/Television
The popular music industry has become completely interlinked with
the film industry. The majority of mainstream films come with
ready-attached songs that may or may not appear in the film but
nevertheless will be used for publicity purposes and appear on a
soundtrack album. In many cases, popular music in films has made
for some of the most striking moments in films and the most
dramatic aesthetic action in cinema, like Ben relaxing in the pool
to Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Sound of Silence' in The Graduate
(1967), and the potter's wheel sequence with the Righteous
Brothers' 'Unchained Melody' in Ghost (1990). Yet, to date, there
have only been patchy attempts to deal with popular music's
relationship with film. Indeed, it is startling that there is so
little written on subject that is so popular as a consumer item and
thus has a significant cultural profile. Magical Musical Tour is
the first sustained and focused survey to engage the intersection
of the two on both an aesthetic and industrial level. The chapters
are historically-inspired reviews, discussing many films and
musicians, while others will be more concentrated and detailed case
studies of single films. Including an accompanying website and a
timeline giving a useful snapshot around which readers can orient
the book, Kevin Donnelly explores the history of the intimate bond
between film and music, from the upheaval that rock'n'roll caused
in the mid-1950s to the more technical aspects regarding 'tracking'
and 'scoring'.
