indy4 152 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Apparently, a new book has been published about the music in the Hitchcock films. The whole article is too long to post, but here's the opening paragraph:In the '70s, '80s and '90s, books on film music were relatively scarce, but today there's a glut of books on the craft, with some even devoted to individual scores, such as Bernard Herrmann's The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and Danny Elfman's Batman. Of all the possible books that could be written about film music, one that absolutely demanded to be exist is Hitchcock's Music, which takes an impressively thorough look at not only the creative use of music in the Master of Suspense's films but also the process that resulted in those scores. The only surprising thing is that this book has been so poorly publicized -- I didn't even know of its existence until I stumbled across a copy at Barnes & Noble.The rest can be viewed here: http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/articles/2...Book_Review.aspAnd bought here: http://www.amazon.com/Hitchcocks-Music-Jac...7063&sr=1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 The first two words of Chapter One are "John Williams". How could I not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 964 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 The first two words of Chapter One are "John Williams". How could I not?Because they begun with the end of Hitchcock's carreer?I would imagine the the first two worlds would be Bernard Herrmann...
