As both a distinct genre and a particular mode of filmmaking; the idea of the epic has been central to the history of cinema. Including contributions from both established and emerging film music scholars; the ten essays in Music in Epic Film: Listening to Spectacle provide a cross-section of contemporary scholarship on the subject. They explore diverse topics; including the function of music in epic narratives; the socio-political implications of cinematic music; and the use of pre-existing music in epic films. Intended for students and scholars in film music; film appreciation; and media studies; the wide range of topics and the diversity of the films that the authors discuss make Music in Epic Film: Listening to Spectacle an ideal introduction to the field of music in epic film.
