The Study of Film Music
MUSC 118 SP
The course extends Wesleyan's film studies offerings by focusing on music, an often neglected yet crucial component of movies. After starting with the "Hollywood" approach (from the early sound period on), we look at
film music globally, including
places like India and China, introducing ethnomusicological perspectives.
