    A Study of Musical Affect in Howard Shore's Soundtrack to Lord of the Rings

    PROJECTING TOLKIEN'S MUSICAL WORLDS: A STUDY OF MUSICAL AFFECT IN HOWARD SHORE'S SOUNDTRACK TO LORD OF THE RINGS Matthew David Young A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC IN MUSIC THEORY May 2007 Committee: Per F. Broman, Advisor Nora A. Engebretsen © 2007 Matthew David Young All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Per F. Broman, Advisor In their book Ten Little Title Tunes: Towards a Musicology of the Mass Media, Philip Tagg and Bob Clarida build on Tagg’s previous efforts to define the musical affect of popular music. By breaking down a musical example into minimal units of musical meaning (called musemes), and comparing those units to other musical examples possessing sociomusical connotations, Tagg demonstrated a transfer of musical affect from the music possessing sociomusical connotations to the object of analysis. While Tagg’s studies have focused mostly on television music, this document expands his techniques in an attempt to analyze the musical affect of Howard Shore’s score to Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. This thesis studies the ability of Shore’s film score not only to accompany the events occurring on-screen, but also to provide the audience with cultural and emotional information pertinent to character and story development. After a brief discussion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s description of the cultures, poetry, and music traits of the inhabitants found in Middle-earth, this document dissects the thematic material of Shore’s film score.

    An Evolutionary Study of Soundtracks from DC Comics' Superheroes

    CRESCENDOS OF THE CAPED CRUSADERS: AN EVOLUTIONARY STUDY OF SOUNDTRACKS FROM DC COMICS’ SUPERHEROES Anna J. DeGalan A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2020 Committee: Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Esther Clinton Jeremy Wallach © 2020 Anna DeGalan All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeffrey Brown, Advisor With the transition from comics to television shows, and later onto the big screen, superheroes gained their own theme songs and soundtracks that captured the attention of the audience for years to come. From catchy musical themes, from the old television shows, to the masterfully scored music blasting from the speakers of movie theaters all over the world, it was superheroes’ uniquely composed soundtracks (in conjunction with SFX, acting cues, and genre conventions of superhero films) that further crafted the iconography that made each character into the superhero being portrayed on-screen. While much of the focus of past textual analysis of films within the superhero genre has focused on characterizations of heroes, visual iconography, and the logistics of filming or framing a scene, academia has vastly overlooked the necessity of a film’s soundtrack, not only as a basic narrative tool and genre locator, but as a means to further understand how a cultural perception of the material is being reflected by the very musical choices presented on a score. While there has been an influx of research focusing on how a culture perceives its heroes – in this case superheroes – during times of great change within a society (either politically, socially, economically, or culturally; for example, the terrorist attack on American soil on 9/11/2001), I have found there to be a lack of research involving how the musical themes of superheroes reflect our cultural views and feelings at a specific point in time.

Thursday, May 28, 1:00 AM – 2:30 PM EST, Blake Neeley, Keynote Scoring Television: the New Golden Age in Streaming Media Through the proliferation of streaming media and enhanced digital technologies, the creative visions that once polarized television and film, have now blurred. Prolific television composer Blake Neely will demonstrate how his creative process operates within a “new golden age” of television and documentaries. He will compare and contrast the overall sound, styles and various tropes of modern scoring, including the use of live musicians, computers and creative team expansion. Having composed music for over 1400 episodes of television, across 34 successful series, including the DC Universe, Neely will focus on his overall approach, philosophy, and process in an ever-changing, yet highly-evolved landscape of scoring to picture. What goes into creating the overall sound-world for a series during its genesis? How is a specific character’s theme approached? How do these themes and sound-worlds evolve and even combine throughout the life of a series? Neely will explore his workflow and ideas, including the musical, narrative, and cultural inspirations that guide him. Further analysis will look at how this ethos is applied to a seemingly wholly different medium — documentary scoring. Where are the similarities of process, and where are the differences? 2.

Abstract approved: _________________________________________________________________________ Dana Reason The intent of this paper is to bring more attention to the mastery involved with film composition as an art form. The research focuses specifically on the life, style, influences, and works of John Williams as a conductor, film composer, and composer. It addresses his biography, filmography, and working relationships, as well as critical analysis on several film scores. Particular emphasis is placed on scene-by-scene music analysis of the films Jaws , Hook , and Memoirs of a Geisha , as they are representative of three chronological segments of Williams’ film composition career. An overall theme focuses on how his music is so iconic, recognizable, and emotionally relatable by audiences, that it has become a part of our everyday culture.
