Whereas most treatments of the subject are simply chronicles of \"great film scores\" and their composers, this book offers a genuine history of film music in terms of societal changes and technological and economic developments within the film industry. Instead of celebrating film-music masterpieces, it deals-logically and thoroughly-with the complex machine whose smooth running allowed those occasional masterpieces to happen and whose periodic adjustments prompted the large-scale twists and turns in film musics path.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51935088214304,"sku":"NEW0415991986","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/film-music-a-history-0415991986","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
