- Synopsis
- Celluloid Symphonies is a unique sourcebook of writings on music for film, including essays by those who created the music: Max Steiner, Erich Korngold, Henry Mancini, Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein and Howard Shore. Bringing together previously inaccessible critical documents, the book also describes the major trends and innovations that have shaped film music history from 1896 to the present. It outlines the important aesthetic choices, technological innovations, and commercial pressures that have consistently shaped the relationship between music and film. Julie Hubbert's introductory essays provide a stimulating overview of film history as well as critical context for the close study of these primary documents. In identifying documents that comprise a written and aesthetic history for film music, Celluloid Symphonies enriches the discourse of a broad community of film and music scholars and provides an astonishing resource to students.
