A rich and informative look at the experiences of composers working under high pressure in the US film industry, The Hollywood Film Music Reader brings
readers from film's earliest days to the modern blockbuster era.
Beginning with the origins of movie music in the heyday of silent film,
the book traces film music's progress through Hollywood's so-called
Golden Age to changes in musical styles and working practices from the
1960s to the present. Also included are vivid first-hand accounts from
composers such as George Antheil, Elmer Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Adolph
Deutsch, Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, Henry Mancini, Thomas
Newman, André Previn, David Raksin, Miklós Rózsa, Max Steiner, Dimitri
Tiomkin, Franz Waxman, and John Williams, along with testimonies from
composers working in animation and documentary film. The book concludes
with a section of criticism and commentary, including an essay on film
music by Sidney Lumet and Igor Stravinsky's provocative views on the
subject.
