Classical music is everywhere in video games. Works by composers
like Bach and Mozart fill the soundtracks of games ranging from
arcade classics, to indie titles, to major franchises like
BioShock, Civilization, and Fallout. Children can learn about
classical works and their histories from interactive iPad games.
World-renowned classical orchestras frequently perform concerts of
game music to sold-out audiences. But what do such combinations of
art and entertainment reveal about the cultural value we place on
these media? Can classical music ever be video game music, and can
game music ever be classical? Delving into the shifting and often
contradictory cultural definitions that emerge when classical music
meets video games, Replay Value offers a new perspective on the
possibilities and challenges of trying to distinguish between art
and pop culture in contemporary society.
