Abstract Designed to speak clearly and intelligently to non-musicians and musicians alike, this book is a must-read for every film music fan. Through its more than forty lively, insightful interviews, it delves deeply into the creative process, the basics of musical thought, filmmaking's collaborative nature, and the individual psyches of its participating composers. It covers every current style of film music, the essence of what it means to score motion pictures, the role of the artist in commercial enterprises.
