First of all I want to thank Prof. Dr. Karin Bijsterveld and Prof. Dr. Andreas Fickers. Back in Utrecht, in 2007, Andreas thought of me when he was looking for someone to carry out PhD project 2 of the Soundscapes of the Urban Past project. And Karin accepted me in the project, even though at that point we had only met once. Without their trust, input, and guidance this dissertation would never have existed. I also want to thank my co-promotor, Prof. Dr. Patricia Pisters, for her advice, help and insights from a Film Studies perspective. And I am grateful to Annelies Jacobs, my fellow PhD colleague in the Soundscapes project. Her work has served as a constant inspiration for my own. My colleagues in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of Maastricht University turned a few historical buildings in the city center into an intellectual home. I am grateful to them, and to the supporting staff of both the faculty and the University Library. Without their work it would be impossible to carry out any research or, for that matter, to engage in teaching. I want to thank the students for the joy and inspiration I derived from tutoring them over the past five years. Many people have read parts of this dissertation, or attended my presentations. For their feedback and input I want to thank all my colleagues and participants in our faculty’s Graduate School, the research group for Science and Technology Studies, the WTMC workshops and summer schools, the NECS conferences and other (international) events. Specifically, I would like to mention Joeri Bruyninckx, Eefje Cleophas and Alexandra Supper, as well as Carolyn Birdsall, Nessa Johnston and Dana Mustata. I want to thank the Netherlands Graduate Research School for Science, Technology and Modern Culture (WTMC) for their excellent graduate training program and their financial support in printing this dissertation. Special thanks go out to Larry Sider, Georges Bossaers and Ben Zijlstra for sharing their professional knowledge and experience with me in interviews and correspondence. Kasper Peters, at Hollands Filmdoek, provided me with materials I could not have obtained otherwise. The staff at the former Filmmuseum in Amsterdam was most friendly and welcoming when allowing me to work in their library outside opening hours. 6 Writing a dissertation can be a maddening process, but I was able to keep my sanity through acting. I am very grateful for all the dramatic experiences I had with the people from “Alles is Drama” and the PhD improvisation group. If I say that my friends, in Maastricht, Utrecht and elsewhere, provided the necessary distractions from my work I would not do them justice. Their friendship was an essential part of my life these last five years. I would list all of them here if that was only possible. Which only leaves me five people to thank. Suzanne Zelissen was my partner for the better part of my PhD years. She reminded me that there was more to life than films. My sister Petra is everything a brother could ask for, and more: a sister, a friend and a confidant. Sofia Kaliarnta came into my life just over a year ago, but her love and care mean everything to me. Finally, my parents Wim and Joke Aalbers have raised me, guided me and supported me throughout all these years. There are no words or means by which I can express my gratitude to you. 7 Chapter 1 Introduction: Echoes of the City 1.1 The myth of the cinematic city Notting Hill, my favourite bit of London … And so this is where I spent my days and years, in this small village in th middle of the city. (William Thacker, as played by Hugh Grant) In NOTTING HILL (Roger Michell, 1999), the Notting Hill area is introduced to us, the film audience, as a pleasant, sun-drenched village, with people walking across a market and a few bicyclists passing by.

  • The Film Music of Edmund Meisel (1894–1930)
    The Film Music of Edmund Meisel (1894–1930) FIONA FORD, MA Thesis submitted to The University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy DECEMBER 2011 Abstract This thesis discusses the film scores of Edmund Meisel (1894–1930), composed in Berlin and London during the period 1926–1930. In the main, these scores were written for feature-length films, some for live performance with silent films and some recorded for post-synchronized sound films. The genesis and contemporaneous reception of each score is discussed within a broadly chronological framework. Meisel‘s scores are evaluated largely outside their normal left-wing proletarian and avant-garde backgrounds, drawing comparisons instead with narrative scoring techniques found in mainstream commercial practices in Hollywood during the early sound era. The narrative scoring techniques in Meisel‘s scores are demonstrated through analyses of his extant scores and soundtracks, in conjunction with a review of surviving documentation and modern reconstructions where available. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) for funding my research, including a trip to the Deutsches Filminstitut, Frankfurt. The Department of Music at The University of Nottingham also generously agreed to fund a further trip to the Deutsche Kinemathek, Berlin, and purchased several books for the Denis Arnold Music Library on my behalf. The goodwill of librarians and archivists has been crucial to this project and I would like to thank the staff at the following institutions: The University of Nottingham (Hallward and Denis Arnold libraries); the Deutsches Filminstitut, Frankfurt; the Deutsche Kinemathek, Berlin; the BFI Library and Special Collections; and the Music Librarian of the Het Brabants Orkest, Eindhoven.
