{"product_id":"9780415991995","title":"Film Music: A History","description":"\u003cp\u003eFilm Music: A History explains the development of film music by considering large-scale aesthetic trends and structural developments alongside socioeconomic, technological, cultural, and philosophical circumstances. The book’s four large parts are given over to Music and the \"Silent\" Film (1894--1927), Music and the Early Sound Film (1895--1933), Music in the \"Classical-Style\" Hollywood Film (1933--1960), and Film Music in the Post-Classic Period (1958--2008). 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 music’s path.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45390160035919,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":2975.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9780415991995","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
