Film Music Reviews

This may be the most attractive book on film scoring we've seen yet, a very handsome coffee-table sized paperback full of black and white and color photographs, with a specially-produced CD containing 13 selections representing the composers discussed in the book. -Randall D. Larson, Soundtrack Magazine This is an excellent addition to any library of motion picture music, and a suitable introduction for those unacquainted with its intricacies. -Randall D. Larson, Soundtrack Magazine The third volume in Focal Press's Screencraft series, Film Music is an excellent examination of the role music and film scoring plays in contemporary cinema. - American Cinematographer, June 2001 This 9 x 12 book is generously illustrated with color photos and film stills, along with handwritten samples of scores composed by artists... - American Cinematographer, June 2001 On first flip through, I found the book both colorful and well organized...In final analysis, I would not hesitate to recommend this book to fans of film music in general. And with its wonderful assortment of film stills and CD, it's a pleasure for film buffs as well. - SCOREBABY - April 2001
