    Music Theory Through the Lens of Film

    Journal of Film Music 5.1-2 (2012) 177-196 ISSN (print) 1087-7142 doi:10.1558/jfm.v5i1-2.177 ISSN (online) 1758-860X ARTICLE Music Theory through the Lens of Film FranK LEhman Tufts University [email protected] Abstract: The encounter of a musical repertoire with a theoretical system benefits the latter even as it serves the former. A robustly applied theoretic apparatus hones our appreciation of a given corpus, especially one such as film music, for which comparatively little analytical attention has been devoted. Just as true, if less frequently offered as a motivator for analysis, is the way in which the chosen music theoretical system stands to see its underlying assumptions clarified and its practical resources enhanced by such contact. The innate programmaticism and aesthetic immediacy of film music makes it especially suited to enrich a number of theoretical practices. A habit particularly ripe for this exposure is tonal hermeneutics: the process of interpreting music through its harmonic relationships. Interpreting cinema through harmony not only sharpens our understanding of various film music idioms, but considerably refines the critical machinery behind its analysis. The theoretical approach focused on here is transformation theory, a system devised for analysis of art music (particularly from the nineteenth century) but nevertheless eminently suited for film music. By attending to the perceptually salient changes rather than static objects of musical discourse, transformation theory avoids some of the bugbears of conventional tonal hermeneutics for film (such as the tyranny of the “15 second rule”) while remaining exceptionally well calibrated towards musical structure and detail.

Designed and built in-house by our staff of engineers, this robotic “Drum Machine,” called the Gluing Gantry, ensures that every Evans head has a true collar. A series of vacuum fixtures holds the film in place for each head while the robotic gluing arm circles above the hoop and dispenses epoxy. The result is a drumhead that tunes both easily and consistently. At Evans, we do it right the first time. And every time. Check out what Peter Erskine has to say about Evans drumheads at www.evansdrumheads.com PO Box 290 • Farmingdale, NY 11735 We’ve been making the world’s finest sticks for years. And experience tells us that there are no shortcuts when it comes to making a stick. There is, however a very good short- cut when choosing one. The journey from wooden dowel to finished drumstick is a tough one. Each stick makes its way through the hands of several craftsmen before it leaves us. And at every test, there’s always the chance of getting turned into firewood. But it does get easier when our sticks reach the store. Because once you feel a pair in your hands, you’ll appreciate the time it spent in ours.

    5. How Music Communicates

    How Film & TV Music Communicate – Vol.1 Text © Brian Morrell 2013 Chapter 5 H O W M U S I C C O M M U N I CA T E S C O M P O S I T I O N AL I D E N T I T Y All composers have a need to define themselves. Compositional identity is the ultimate hallmark of success, the great pinnacle of achievement; to be recognised is everything. In an obvious sense professional film composers ‘identify’ themselves by doing a great job, repeatedly and in ridiculously short amounts of time that are the stuff of legend; but how their music manages to achieve a sense of specific character and identity, of self, is one of the main reasons for their success and longevity. Composers such as James Newton Howard, Hans Zimmer, James Horner, John Williams and many more manage repeatedly to succeed at the highest level. One of the reasons they do so well so often is not in spite of the short time limit but probably because of it. The need to abbreviate the process, to limit the conceptualisation time, can sometimes succeed in the creation of an identity. In other words, identity is sometimes not something we strive for, but rather something we have thrust upon us by a mixture of our abilities, imagination, experiences and because of the time limit. One thing film score writers have never had is time. So how does this identification work in practice? Some composers identify their work via its ‘sound’ – a specific and particular use of textures and instruments or use of the orchestra; having a specific orchestration and / or production approach leaves a composer relatively free to use different harmonic choices.

    Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song from Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970S Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC B

    Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song From Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970s Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC Bachelor of Music, University of Ottawa, 2005 Master of Arts, Music Theory, University of Western Ontario, 2007 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia May, 2014 © Copyright by Emily Margot Gale All Rights Reserved May 2014 For Ma with love iv ABSTRACT My dissertation examines the relationship between American popular song and “sentimentality.” While eighteenth-century discussions of sentimentality took it as a positive attribute in which feelings, “refined or elevated,” motivated the actions or dispositions of people, later texts often describe it pejoratively, as an “indulgence in superficial emotion.” This has led an entire corpus of nineteenth- and twentieth-century cultural production to be bracketed as “schmaltz” and derided as irrelevant by the academy. Their critics notwithstanding, sentimental songs have remained at the forefront of popular music production in the United States, where, as my project demonstrates, they have provided some of the country’s most visible and challenging constructions of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and morality. My project recovers the centrality of sentimentalism to American popular music and culture and rethinks our understandings of the relationships between music and the public sphere. In doing so, I add the dimension of sound to the extant discourse of sentimentalism, explore a longer history of popular music in the United States than is typical of most narratives within popular music studies, and offer a critical examination of music that—though wildly successful in its own day—has been all but ignored by scholars.
