Abstract

First published in 1998, music scored for film has only relatively recently received the critical attention which it merits. Many composers in the twentieth century have written works for films or documentaries, a number feeling that this aspect of their output has been undervalued. This dictionary complements other studies which have appeared in recent years which look at the technical and theoretical issues concerned with film music composition. Arranged alphabetically by composer, the volume comprises over 500 entries covering all nationalities. Each entry includes very brief biographical information on the composer, followed by a list of the films (with dates) for which he or she has composed. Details of recordings are also given. The dictionary's international coverage ensures that it will become a standard reference work for all those interested in the history of twentieth-century music and the development of film.

Readers will also learn about the entrepreneurial expectations in relation to marketing, strategies for contending with the emotional highs and lows of composing, and money management whilst pursuing a career in composing. Written for undergraduates and graduates studying composing, sound production, and filmmaking, as well as aspiring composers for film, TV, and games, this book provides readers with a wealth of first-hand information that will help them create their own opportunities and pursue a career in film and television"--

Abstract

""Arthur Schwartz (1900-1984), a premier composer of American Popular Song during the mid-20th century, has been overlooked by historians. This first full-length biography covers his work on Broadway and in Hollywood, where he was known as the "master of the intimate revue" for his songs in the 1930s with Howard Dietz. Other lyricists over Schwartz's career included Dorothy Fields, Oscar Hammerstein II, Frank Loesser, Johnny Mercer and Leo Robin. Schwartz wrote music for films in the 1940s-with Academy Award nominations for They're Either Too Young or Too Old and A Gal in Calico-produced two popular movie musicals-Cover Girl and Night and Day-and was among the first songwriters to work in the new medium of television. The author describes his creative process and includes behind-the-scenes stories of each of his major musicals."--

Abstract

Régulièrement jouée dans des concerts symphoniques partout dans le monde, la musique de la saga Final Fantasy fait partie des plus célèbres et célébrées du jeu vidéo. Pourquoi génère-t-elle autant de passion ? Comment a-t-elle été conçue ? De quelle manière a-t-elle évolué au fil des épisodes ainsi que des changements de direction et de compositeurs ? Avec l'appui d'une imposante documentation et des nombreux entretiens qu'il a pu réaliser au cours de sa carrière, l'auteur Jérémie Kermarrec s'attarde autant sur Nobuo Uematsu et son amour du rock progressif que sur ses héritiers (Masashi Hamauzu, Masayoshi Soken, Hitoshi Sakimoto, Yôko Shimomura, etc.), qui ont eu la lourde tâche de lui succéder tout en imposant leur propre sensibilité musicale.Une démarche que Nobuo Uematsu lui-même a toujours encouragée. Avec La Musique dans Final Fantasy. De Nobuo Uematsu à ses héritiers, plongez dans les coulisses passionnantes d'une épopée musicale vidéoludique hors du commun, qui s'étale sur plus de trente-cinq ans !
