Beginning with the earliest experiments in musical accompaniment carried out in the Edison Laboratories, Kathryn Kalinak uses archival material to outline the history of American music and film. Focusing on the scores of several key composers of the sound era, including Erich Wolfgang Korngolds Captain Blood, Max Steiners The Informer, Bernard Herrmanns The Magnificent Ambersons, and David Raksins Laura, Kalinak concludes that classical scoring conventions were designed to ensure the dominance of narrative exposition. Her analyses of contemporary work such as John Williams The Empire Strikes Back and Basil Poledouris RoboCop demonstrate how the traditions of the classical era continue to influence scoring practices today.
