For more than a century, original music has been composed for the
cinema. From the early days when live music accompanied silent
films to the present in which a composer can draw upon a full
orchestra or a lone synthesizer to embody a composition, music has
been an integral element of most films. By the late 1930s, movie
studios had established music departments, and some of the greatest
names in film music emerged during Hollywood's Golden Age,
including Alfred Newman, Max Steiner, Dimitri Tiomkin, and Bernard
Herrmann. Over the decades, other creators of screen music offered
additional memorable scores, and some composers-such as Henry
Mancini, Randy Newman, and John Williams-have become household
names. The Encyclopedia of Film Composers features entries on more
than 250 movie composers from around the world. It not only
provides facts about these artists but also explains what makes
each composer notable and discusses his or her music in detail.
Each entry includes *Biographical material *Important dates *Career
highlights *Analysis of the composer's musical style *Complete list
of movie credits This book brings recognition to the many men and
women who have written music for movies over the past one hundred
years. In addition to composers from the United States and Great
Britain, artists from dozens of other countries are also
represented. A rich resource of movie music history, The
Encyclopedia of Film Composers will be of interest to fans of
cinema in general as well as those who want to learn more about the
many talented individuals who have created memorable scores.
