Degree awarded June 2016 ii © 2016 Chelsea Nicole Oden iii THESIS ABSTRACT Chelsea Nicole Oden Master of Arts School of Music and Dance June 2016 Title: Reflection and Introspection in the Film Scores of Thomas Newman The most transformative moments in life cause us to look both backward (reflection) and inward (introspection). Likewise, reflective and introspective moments in film often align with important plot points. Separating music and dialogue from the rhythms of the image, these moments suspend time, creating a distinct temporality for the character(s) and the viewer to observe the past and the present in juxtaposition. The music of film composer Thomas Newman brings to life some of the most beautiful reflective and introspective moments in cinema. In this thesis, I approach Newman’s understudied, but highly successful film scores from narrative, musical, and audiovisual perspectives.

  • OTHELLO: the REMIX by the Q Brothers (GQ and JQ)
    OTHELLO: THE REMIX by the Q Brothers (GQ and JQ) CHARACTER BREAK DOWN /DESCRIPTIONS OTHELLO is a modern-day hip hop mogul. He is a gifted rapper and a self-made entrepreneur who escaped the pitfalls of the ghetto he was raised in. He is now the most respected rapper in the music industry, with over ten million records sold. (Archetype: Jay-Z/The Game) DESDEMONA is a disembodied voice. A powerful soul singer, her musical hooks help to elevate Othello's sound from ghetto rap to mainstream hits. In straight dialogue, she communicates with sound but no words. (Archetype: Adele/Christina Aguilera) IAGO is an underground rapper who has been in Othello's crew since its inception. He is the best lyricist of the bunch, and a hip hop purist who is disgusted by the way rap is turning into mainstream pop music. (Archetype: Eminem/Nas) CASSIO is the newest member of Othello's crew. He is a great dancer who raps about dancing and flirting with the ladies. For him, entertainment is paramount. Rap comes second. (Archetype: Will Smith/Mase) EMILIA is Iago's wife and close friend of Desdemona. She is always trying to get Iago's affection and attention, but to no avail. She is supportive of his career and only receives verbal abuse in return. RODERIGO is a nerdy lighting technician who travels with the crew on tour. He is secretly in love with Desdemona, who doesn't even know he exists. He loves sci-fi and fantasy movies/books and videos games. He speaks with a lateral lisp.

We believe that Indian Music possesses so much value for the life of the people of India that, in this great day of national aspiration and progress, it ought to be known and understood by every man and woman who has India's good at heart, so that it may become cultivated in every city and village throughout the land.

D. D. T. W. : PREFACE Lionel Johnson was born on the 15th of March, 1867, at Broadstairs in Kent, Chiefly English and Welsh, with an Anglo-Irish strain especially valued and emphasized by him in the latter part of his short life he cannot correctly be called an " Irishman," even though he so called himself frequently after 1890. He was educated at Winchester College and at New College, Oxford, graduating with honours. Both places, Winchester especially, took a lasting hold on his memory and affections. On St. Alban's Day, 1 89 1, he was received by the Rev. William Lock- hart, at St. Etheldreda's, London, into the Catholic Church. He read many languages, but did not travel abroad. From first to last, circumstances life enabled him to lead his own recluse and happy ; his only material drawback was a constitution always frail, but he loved the open, and was a great walker. His critical powers were in their full play during the ten years (1891-1901) in which he lived and worked in London.

It was he who, having first suggested to me some of the implications of Browning’s metaphors, directed this paper.
