1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Scholarly study of Hammer horror musicBy mormoviesHuckvale provides a detailed. scholarly overview of the composers and avant garde influences that shaped the memorable and disturbing sounds of Hammer Films music scores. Informative and entertaining.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Very convincing analysis of the place of horror in 20th-century musicBy David L RattiganHuckvale argues that Hammer horror did more than the concert hall to further the cause of modern music in the latter half of the 20th century. He analyzes Hammer film scores by composers such as James Bernard (Dracula) and Benjamin Frankel (Curse of the Werewolf). and puts them in historical context. alongside developments in classical music. eg Schoenberg. Boulez. etc. His main thesis is hard to refute: While musical innovation took place in academia and among the relatively small audiences of concert halls. it was horror films that took the same ideas worldwide. to the masses. In making the argument. Huckvale gives Hammers composers (and its musical directors) their fair due and exposes the shortsightedness of traditional music historians and critics. who banish film composers (especially in the horror genre) to the sidelines in the story of 20th century music.The book is written in an intelligent. but accessible style; that is. you dont need to be an advanced academic to understand it. I certainly enjoyed it more than the disappointingly thin "Music from the House of Hammer." by Randall Larson. My one concern is that its contents will most benefit music historians and critics. but the title. with its focus on Hammer horror. may restrict its appeal to Hammer aficionados.
