The study of pre-existing film music is now a well-established part
of Film Studies, covering 'classical' music and popular music.
Generally, these broad musical types are studied in isolation. This
anthology brings them together in twelve focused case studies by a
range of scholars, including Claudia Gorbman, Jeongwon Joe, Raymond
Knapp, and Timothy Warner. The first section explores art music,
both instrumental and operatic; it revolves around the debate on
the relation between the aural and visual tracks, and whether
pre-existing music has an integrative function or not. The second
section is devoted to popular music in film, and shows how very
similar the functions of popular music in film are to the
supposedly more 'elite' classical music and opera. Case studies in
part 1: Eyes Wide Shut, Raging Bull, Brief Encounter, Detective,
The Godfather Part III, three versions of the Carmen story
(DeMille's, Preminger's and Rosi's), Amadeus, The Birth of a
Nation, M: Eine Stadt sucht einen MArder, Needful Things, Rat Race.
Case studies in part 2: various films by AlmodA(3)var, Young
Frankenstein, Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, Amelie, High Fidelity,
Ghost World, Heavenly Creatures, The Virgin Suicides, and the video
Timber by Coldcut.
