Aaron Coplands Hollywood Film Scores - Paula Musegades

Detalii:

nOne of the most influential and beloved American composers, Aaron Copland played a critical role in shaping what is often recognized as the American sound. He is best known for achieving this through his works for the concert hall and ballet. Yet his film scores, though less familiar nowadays, were equally influential. n nBetween 1939 and 1949, Copland composed the music for five major Hollywood films: Lewis Milestones Of Mice and Men (1939), Sam Woods Our Town (1940), Lewis Milestones The North Star (1943) and The Red Pony (1949), and William Wylers The Heiress (1949). These were high-prestige projects, based on literary works by such respected figures as Henry James, Lillian Hellman, and John Steinbeck. n nUsing the film medium to introduce the moviegoing public to modern musical styles, Copland challenged Hollywoods traditional uses of music in film. His innovative approaches enhanced important national themes running through these films while also contributing to Hollywoods transformation as the Great Depression gave way to wartime tribulation and, eventually, postwar prosperity and Red Scare paranoia. Aaron Coplands Hollywood Film Scores explores Coplands scores, interviews, and lectures, tracing his legacy and lasting influence on Hollywoods sound. n nPAULA MUSEGADES is an assistant professor in Music and American Studies at Brandeis University.
