In this thesis I examine the differences between music in the two cinemas. Concentrating on exemplary films from the late 1930s to the early 1950s, I show how the apparent differences are manifested, and by analysing a number of key British films, I illustrate the modes of musical expression used. There are many ways to approach film music. My own interest lies in the connection between music of the romantic period of the 19th century and what became of it during the 20th. "Serious" music from Schoenberg onwards became increasingly dissonant, but the rich melodic tones of romantic music appear to have found a new home in the cinema, and in this thesis I explore how film composers kept the previous traditions alive. 2015-01-06T18:58:00Z 2015-01-06T18:58:00Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11638 eng application/pdf Centre for Film and Media Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
