Peter Larsen: 电影音乐 , Shandong, China: Shandong Pictorial Publishing House, 2009

  • Chinese translation of Peter Larsen: Film Music, London: Reaktion Books, 2007

  • 电影与音乐是有机的整体，像弗里茨·朗的《大都会》、迈克·尼科尔斯的《毕业生》等都是因为片中精彩的电影音乐而为大家所熟知。但是到底什么是电影音乐呢？音乐是电影的附属，还是电影是对音乐的一种解释，抑或是两者密不可分？

    在《电影音乐》一书中，作者追溯了电影音乐的历史，探讨了电影音乐的叙事、美学和心理功能等关键问题。为了探究电影和音乐之间的复杂关系，作者重点深入地分析了几部经典电影，如霍华德·霍克斯的电影《夜长梦多》（1946）、阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克《西北偏北》（1959）以及后来风靡一时、影响极大的几部影片，如《星球大战》（1977）和《银翼杀手》（1982）等。

    作者精辟地阐释了音乐在电影中所起的作用，并且对电影本身也不时有全新的解读，令人耳目一新。

    此书是电影、音乐和文艺类专业的学生必读书籍，并且同样适合电影和流行音乐爱好者。

     

 

Peter Larsen: Film Music, London: Reaktion Books, 2007

  • Film and music belong together; classics like Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927) and Mike Nichols’ The Graduate (1967) are renowned for their brilliant soundtracks. But what exactly is ‘film music?’ Does music act as an accompaniment to the ‘film’, or is film an illustration of the music, or are the two inseparable?

    In Film Music Peter Larsen traces the history of music in film and discusses central theoretical questions concerning its narrative and psychological functions. He looks in depth at classics such as Howard Hawks’ The Big Sleep (1946) and Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest (1959), as well as later international blockbusters and cult films including American Grafitti (1973), Star Wars (1977) and Blade Runner (1982). These case studies explore the role of music in the history of film, and also show how other films can be discussed in relationship to their music.

    Film Music offers a much-needed overview of how music functions in film and serves as a fascinating, accessible introduction to the analysis of film music. The book will serve as an important text for students of film, music and cultural disciplines, as well as the general reader with an interest in film and popular music.
