Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
John Williams is one of the most renowned film composers in history. He has penned unforgettable scores for Star Wars, the Indiana Jones series, E.T. the ExtraTerrestrial, Jaws, Superman, and countless other films. Fans flock to his many concerts, and with fortynine Academy Award nominations as of 2014, he is the secondmost Oscarnominated person after Walt Disney. Yet despite such critical acclaim and prestige, this is the first book in English on Williamss work and career.Combining accessible writing with thorough scholarship, and rigorous historical accounts with insightful readings, John Williamss Film Music explores why Williams is so important to the history of film music. Beginning with an overview of music from Hollywoods Golden Age (193358), Emilio Audissino traces the turning points of Williamss career and articulates how he revived the classical Hollywood musical style. This book charts each landmark of this musical restoration, with special attention to the scores for Jaws and Star Wars, Williamss work as conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra, and a full film/music analysis of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The result is a precise, enlightening definition of Williamss neoclassicism and a grounded demonstration of his lasting importance, for both his compositions and his historical role in restoring part of the Hollywood tradition.Best Special Interest Books, selected by the American Association of School LibrariansBest Books for General Audiences, selected by the Public Library Reviewers
