This book provides a comprehensive and lively introduction to the
major trends in film scoring from the silent era to the present
day, focussing not only on dominant Hollywood practices but also
offering an international perspective by including case studies of
the national cinemas of the UK, France, India, Italy, Japan and the
early Soviet Union. The book balances wide-ranging overviews of
film genres, modes of production and critical reception with
detailed non-technical descriptions of the interaction between
image track and soundtrack in representative individual films. In
addition to the central focus on narrative cinema, separate
sections are also devoted to music in documentary and animated
films, film musicals and the uses of popular and classical music in
the cinema. The author analyses the varying technological and
aesthetic issues that have shaped the history of film music, and
concludes with an account of the modern film composer's working
practices.
