Film Music A Very Short Introduction

Kathryn Kalinak

Film music can be defi ned as music either directly composed or expressly chosen to accompany motion pictures. As a practice, it is as old as cinema itself—the very fi rst projected images in many places around the globe either captured a musical performance or was accompanied by one. Even in those places where accompaniment did not initially attend motion pictures, it would soon do so. Film music has been both live and recorded, both newly composed and compiled from existing sources, both meticulously orchestrated and produced spontaneously through improvisation. It does not operate in exactly the same way across time, across cultures, and sometimes even within cultures. Across the board, however, it is characterized by its power to defi ne meaning and to express emotion: fi lm music guides our response to the images and connects us to them.
