- Summary:
- Released in 1954, On the Waterfront is considered one of the greatest films of all time, winning eight Academy Awards-including Best Picture-and placing in the top 20 on the American Film Institute's 100 Films survey. The film's Oscar-nominated score represents a rare venture into film music composition by Leonard Bernstein, one of the towering figure of classical music in the twentieth century.
- In Leonard Bernstein's On the Waterfront: A Film Score Guide, Anthony, Bushard examines this landmark work, a score that continues to influence composers of film and classic music alike. The book begins with a biographical survey of Bernstein's work, followed by an exploration of Bernstein's compositional survey of Bernstein's work, followed by an exploration of Bernstein's compositional method, a look at the context of the film, and an analysis of the score itself.
- Though other volumes have focused on Bernstein's overall career, Bushard's book is the first to look specifically at the score of this film. A welcome examination of one of Bernstein's most accomplished works. Leonard Bernstein's On the Waterfront: A Film Score Guide highlights the invaluable contribution of this great composer and will be appreciated by fans of classical music and film scores.
