Film Music by Peter Larsen
Film and music belong together; classics like Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927) and Mike Nichols The Graduate (1967) are renowned for their brilliant soundtracks. But what exactly is film music? This title traces the history of music in film and discusses central theoretical questions concerning its narrative and psychological functions.
.. contains some salient points about the function of film music and its development, from the silent period (when films had live accompaniment) through to the present. It will certainly be a must for Bernard Herrmann fans, given its thorough examination of his score for Hitchcock's North by Northwest. On this count alone the book is worth its while. Film Review
