- Summary:
- The rich and deeply moving sounds of film music are as old as cinema. The first projected moving images were accompanied by music through a variety of performers - from single piano players to small orchestras - that brought images to life. Film music has since become its own industry, an aesthetic platform for expressing creative visions, and a commercial vehicle for growing musical stars of all varieties. In this 'Very Short Introduction', Kathryn Kalinak takes readers behind the scenes to understand both the practical aspects of film music - what it is and how it is composed - and the theories that have been developed to explain why film music works.
