gkgyver 1,645 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 "Die vorliegende Studie zeichnet an allen bislang für Spielberg realisierten Scores im Detail nach, wie dessen Bilder mit Williams’ Musik interagieren. Als ein zentrales Merkmal der kompositorischen Arbeit lassen sich verschiedene Motivbausteine ausmachen, die Williams für einzelne Standardsituationen entwickelt hat und je nach Genre variiert. Die Arbeit wurde 2008 mit dem Preis der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität ausgezeichnet. Das Werk ist Teil der Reihe Filmstudien, Band 57""The study at hand illustrates in detail, how all of the scores Williams conceived for Spielberg interact with his images. As a central characteristic of the compositional work, you can detect various motivic building blocks that Willias developed for certain standard situations, and which vary according to the genre.The work was decorated with the prize of the Johannes Gutenberg university in 2008. It is part of the series "Film Studies", volume 57." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_73 0 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Here's a little sample of it. The original quotes of Williams and others seem to remain in the english languagethroughout the book.http://www.nomos-shop.de/_assets/downloads/9783832953553_Leseprobe.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I am conversant in German, but I doubt I will get this.For one thing, I don't think that there's anything in this book that we don't know already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglorfin 196 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 For one thing, I don't think that there's anything in this book that we don't know already.Probably you are right but don't you think it will be nice to have all of it together in a printed format, instead of the various pages and forums on the internet?!

Haha. no.. but since I'm doing my Ph.D on Williams i thought i should have this, and see if it has any music examples along with analyses.plus, i will be able to translate the parts i think are most important by online translators.

Thor 7,508 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Are these books just published PhD Master Thesis?I think that's very likely, yes. Either copied verbatim or adapted somewhat to make it less scholarly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
