  • 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.

You’d be forgiven for assuming that it would be impossible to select a single bassist for that title – and yet that’s exactly what the readers of Bass Player and Bass Guitar magazines did in 2019, when they voted Juan García-Herreros, also known by his indigenous name ‘Snow Owl’, to the top of their annual Best Bassist poll. Dig deeper into Snow Owl’s incredible career, though, and you begin to understand why these devotees of the bass guitar chose him for this ultimate honour. This Colombia-born, US-raised, Austria-resident world traveller has been nominated for a Latin Grammy®, he’s played the world’s biggest arenas, multiple Grammy® winning artists and Oscar® winning composers have collaborated with him on a regular basis and as a composer, he has been honoured with numerous prestigious awards.

He’s also a film director, with his projects selected by international film festivals such as the Music Video Underground in Los Angeles, the Austrian Film Festival and the Film Festival in Cannes. All this has come from Juan’s drive to succeed, as becomes evident when you learn about his personal history. Born in Bogotá, Colombia, his first musical studies began with the flute at the age of nine, after moving to New York City to escape the drug cartel war in his home country.

External Examiner Todd McGowan Associate Professor Supervisor(s) Alice Kuzniar Professor Kevin McGuirk Associate Professor Internal Member Ken Hirschkop Associate Professor Internal-external Member Bojana Videkanic Assistant Professor Other Member(s) Ashley Rose Mehlenbacher Assistant Professor ii Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract This dissertation explores the cinema of Christopher Nolan over a 15-year period. It focuses on the portrayal of the subject in five of his major films: Memento (2000), The Prestige (2006), The Dark Knight (2008), Inception (2010), and Interstellar (2014). In its chronological critique of Nolan’s cinema, this project explores subjectivity, to use Lacanian terminology, as a distorted vision provided by the desire for the impossible objet petit a. It records a shift of perspective in Nolan’s later characters, which endows them with a better understanding of their relationship with the object cause of desire. The dissertation studies the relationship between the subject and the objet petit a through the encounter with the anamorphotic gaze, which reveals the impossibility of fantasy at the heart of desire.

In fact, these texts are complicated, multi-faceted texts that function both in the creation and performance of childhood. Children’s and young adult literature and film disseminated mainstream ideology about young people’s place in society and attempt to enculturate young readers and viewers in regards to race, gender, age, and social class.

  • Filmmusik Im Konzertsaal Ulrich Wünschel (Berlin)
    Filmmusik im Konzertsaal Ulrich Wünschel (Berlin) Als Erich Wolfgang Korngold in den 1930er-Jahren die Aussage »Die Unsterblichkeit des Filmkomponisten dauert von der Aufnahmebühne bis zum Mischpult«1 (Thomas 1996, 85-86) formulierte, war aus dem einstigen Wunderkind Wiens bereits einer der gefragtesten Komponisten in Hollywood geworden. Seine Filmmusiken zu ANTHONY ADVERSE (EIN RASTLOSES LEBEN; USA 1936, Mervyn LeRoy) und zu THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (ROBIN HOOD, DER KÖNIG DER VAGABUNDEN; USA 1938, Michael Curtiz) wurden mit Academy Awards ausgezeichnet, und wie keinem anderen seiner Kollegen erwies man ihm Ehrerbietung (vgl. Thomas 1996, 89). Und doch schwingt eine gewisse Resignation in seinen Worten mit: Filmmusik war in jenen Jahren nur im Kinosaal zu hören – und dann auch noch überlagert von Sprache, Geräuschen und Toneffekten. Von den vielfältigen analogen und digitalen Speicher- und Wiedergabemedien 1 Am 10. Januar 1940 hielt Aaron Copland in der Film Library des Museum of Modern Art in New York im Rahmen der Vorlesungsreihe »The History of the Motion Picture” (veranstaltet vom Department of Fine Arts der Columbia University) einen Vortrag über »Film Music«. Copland verband die Aussage Korngolds mit seinen eigenen Erfahrungen als Filmkomponist: »The scoring stage is a happy-making place for the composer. Hollywood has gathered to itself some of America’s finest performers; the music will be beautifully played and recorded with a technical perfection not to be matched anywhere else. Most composers like to invite their friends to be present at the recording session of important sequences. The reason is that neither the composer nor his friends are ever again likely to hear the music sound out in concert style.
