Product description
Review
...David Cooper's approach--tightly organized like an intro film theory class--will instill, certainly in some, new methods of appreciating film music....Like prior volumes in the series, the book's first section gives us an excellent portrait of the events that led the cast, crew, and composer towards the film project...Cooper's technical and theoretical breakdowns will be of particular interest to composers...There's no doubt this book is the result of a long and detailed effort to craft an important educational reference...--Music From The Movies, January 2007
In this guide, Cooper (music and technology, U. of Leeds, UK) examines Bernard Herrmann's craft as a film composer, particularly in the score of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. He also explores nonmusical elements of the film, including the screenplay's relationship to the popular novel from which it was adapted, the contribution of director Joseph Mankiewicz, and the performances of Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison. A rundown of all the cues in Herrmann's manuscript is followed by an examination of the score as a musical artifact.--Reference and Research Book News --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Excellent book for a reading musician, use in music theory courses
Reviewed in the United States on 22 October 2020Verified Purchase
All of the Film Score Guides are excellent. You need to be able to read music. The only thing I wish is that they cost less. Buy if you are interested in film music, are a composer, or a serious theorist.
