Beginning with an overview of music from Hollywood's Golden Age (1933–58), Emilio Audissino traces the turning points of Williams's career and articulates how he revived the classical Hollywood musical style. This book charts each landmark of this musical restoration, with special attention to the scores for Jaws and Star Wars, Williams's work as conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra, and a full film/music analysis of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The result is a precise, enlightening definition of Williams's “neoclassicism” and a grounded demonstration of his lasting importance, for both his compositions and his historical role in restoring part of the Hollywood tradition.Wisconsin film studies.Motion picture musicHistory and criticismMotion picture musicHistory and criticism.781.5/42092Audissino Emilio887207MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818681903321John Williams's film music4036907UNINA
