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 composers working practices.

(He also received the Encyclopedia of Cat Breeds book) He smiled when he viewed the photos; and its just a nice book to have a around. If youre in the need of a mood- lifter; I think this book would do the job. If youre looking for a coffee table style book; add this to your collection.
