Book Description: This groundbreaking collection by the most distinguished musicologists and film scholars in their fields gives long overdue recognition to music as equal to the image in shaping the experience of film. Refuting the familiar idea that music serves as an unnoticed prop for narrative, these essays demonstrate that music is a fully imagined and active power in the worlds of film. Even where films do give it a supporting role-and many do much more-music makes an independent contribution.

Drawing on recent advances in musicology and cinema studies, Beyond the Soundtrackinterprets the cinematic representation of music with unprecedented richness. The authors cover a broad range of narrative films, from the 'silent' era (not so silent) to the present.

Once we think beyond the soundtrack, this volume shows, there is no unheard music in cinema. A student of film music looking for a touchstone, a test case for any and every theory, could do worse than settle on Fritz Lang’s M(1931).

The story concerns a child-murderer who wanders like a shadow through the streets of a modern city.

The monster goes unrecognized because he looks like a harmless, pudgy nobody rather than like a hobgoblin. But he reveals his hobgoblin nature through music. The murderer, M, is a nervous whistler, and what he whistles—the only music we hear in the whole. The goal of this chapter will be an examination of the opening title and credits sequence of Gone with the Wind(1939), but my subject takes in three larger, interrelated topics, namely, nineteenth-century European symphonic music, its fate in the era of modernism, and film as a site where that fate was to some extent worked out. My angle is an unusual one in that I shall be deliberately turning around the assumption on which Claudia Gorbman’s valuable “unheard melodies” critical formula is based.¹ I shall not only be listening to cinematic melodies, but, flying in the face of all.

The success of Milos Forman’s Amadeus(1984) heralded a steady flow of films about canonical composers of the classical tradition: Simon Cellan Jones’s Eroica(2003) might then be seen as following from Paul Morrissey’s Beethoven’s Nephew(1985) and Bernard Rose’s Immortal Beloved(1994). But in some ways Eroicais so different as hardly to belong in this lineage at all. Quite apart from being made for television (it was commissioned by the British Broadcasting Corporation), it also focuses on the performance of a single work, combining the genre of music video with that of period costume export drama. Though there. About fifty minutes into The Hours,the luxuriant strains of Richard Strauss’s Four Last Songssuddenly intrude on what had established itself as a minimalist soundtrack. The scene begins as Louis (Jeff Daniels) rings a doorbell, and the cut that takes us into an apartment belonging to Clarissa (Meryl Streep) coincides with the full-volume sound of a soprano who has just reached the middle of the third song, “Beim Schlafengehn” (Going to Sleep).¹ Clarissa is preparing a party for her dying friend, Richard (Ed Harris), and her choice of background music helps establish her cultivated tastes, even as it resonates. Roman Polanski’s The Pianist(2002) was much praised for refusing the consolations of tragedy.
