Abstract	The author examines Herrmann's career in general, as well as the specific elements that went into the creation of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir's score. This book traces the development of Herrmann's craft as a film composer, expecially through his radio work, where he encountered many of the great artists of the age, most notably Orson Welles. In this guide, the author considers Herrmann's musical technique and theorizes some of the ways in which music can be meaningful in film. He also explores nonmusical contexts of the film, including the screenplay's relationship to the popular novel from which it was adapted, as well as the contribution of director Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the performances of Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison, and the editing of Dorothy Spencer. This book also provides a quantitative, evidence-based study of the score. A rundown of all the cues in Herrmann's manuscript is followed by an examination of the score as a musical artifact. In his evaluation of the overall approach to the soundtrack, the author considers the musical detail of the score's structure, its themes, and their orchestration.
