Film Music: Critical Approaches

Rating:
Summary: A scholarly and introspective selection of essays
Review: Compiled and edited by K. J. Donnelly (lecturer in Film, Television and Radio Studies, Staffordshire University), Film Music: Critical Approaches presents a scholarly and introspective selection of essays from connoisseurs of fine music who examine the contributions of twentieth century film music to the overall art form of film making. From analytic and interpretive approaches to music scholarship, to the profound influence of the music in classics such as King Kong and Citizen Kane, Film Music is a thoughtful, complex, and highly artistic critique and evaluation. Film Music is an invaluable contribution to both Film Studies and Music History reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
