Beyond the Soundtrack - Representing Music in Cinema - Goldmark, Kramer & Leppert

Beyond the Soundtrack -
Representing Music in Cinema
by Goldmark, Kramer & Leppert
A Groundbreaking collection of essays by a
group of distinguished musicologists and
film scholars giving long-overdue
recognition to music as equal to the image
in shaping the film experience. Refuting the
idea that music serves merely as a prop for
narrative, these essays demonstrate that
music is a fully imagined and active power
in the worlds of film. Even where films cast it
in a supporting role - and many more give it
much more prominence - music makes an
independent contribution.
