The Cambridge Companion to Film Music
A stimulating and unusually wide-ranging collection of essays overviewing ways in which music functions in film soundtracks.
Analyser la musique de film
L’objet de cet ouvrage est d’offrir aux enseignants quelques d’outils afin d’aborder la musique de film de manière simple et intuitive dans un cadre pédagogique, que ce soit dans l’enseignement traditionnel ou en conservatoire. Evitant de préconiser des « pistes pédagogiques », issues du savoir de quelques initiés, nous avons préféré rassembler sous la forme d'un ouvrage collectif les retours d’expériences d'un certain nombre éducateurs et de professionnels de la musique ayant eu à mener, à des niveaux d’enseignement divers (du primaire à l’université), des analyses de musiques de film auprès de leurs élèves ou étudiants.
Western Music and Its Others
"[Western Music and Its Others] will be taken as an important book signalling a new turn within the field. It takes the best features of traditional, rigorous scholarship and brings these to bear upon contemporary, more speculative questions. The level of theoretical sophistication is high. The studies within it are polemical and timely and of lasting scholarly value."—Will Straw, co-editor of Theory Rules: Art as Theory/ Theory and Art "The great value of this collection lies in the wealth of questions that it raises--questions that together crystallize the recent concerns of musicology with force and clarity. But it also lies in the authors' resistance to the easy 'postmodernist' answers...
Music in Contemporary French Cinema
This book explores composed scores and pre-existing music in French cinema from 1985 to 2015 so as to identify critical musical moments. It shows how heritage films construct space through music, generating what Powrie calls “third space music,” while also working to contain the strong women characters found in French heritage films through the use of leitmotifs and musical cues. He analyses fiction films in which the protagonists perform at the piano, showing how musical performance supports the performance of gender. Building on aspects of musical performance, and in particular the use of songs performed in films, Powrie uses a database of 300 films since 2010 to theorize the intervention of music at critical moments as a “crystal-song”. Applying Roland Barthes’s concept of the “punctum” and Gille Deleuze’s concept of the “crystal-image,” Powrie establishes the importance of the crystal-song, which reconfigures time as a crystallization of past, present and future.
Metafilm Music in Jean-Luc Godard's Cinema
"This monograph explores the under-researched use of music in Jean-Luc Godard's films and video essays from the early 1960s to the late 1990s. While Godard is largely hailed as a leading innovator of visual montage, unique storytelling style, and ground-breaking cinematography, his achievements as a leading pioneer in sculpting complex soundtracks altering the familiar relationship between sound and image have been mainly overlooked. On these soundtracks, music assumes the unique role of metafilm music. Metafilm music self-consciously refers to its own role as film music and disrupts the primary function of film music as an essential filmic device creating cinematic illusion. The concept of ...

Black Screens, White Frames
Black Screens, White Frames offers a new understanding of blank screens in cinema.
