Film Music: An Introduction in 11 Takes is an introduction to film music that is global in scope as well as practical in outlook, featuring dozens of interviews with film industry insiders. This textbook teaches today's student how to better understand the conventions of film music in a global and musical context. Film Music's practical approach introduces students to a range of topics; each chapter features a full-length interview with one music professional, discussion of a musical product specific to the chapter's time period (like sheet music or DVD), one composer, one singer, a film genre, a musical instrument and two countries outside the United States.
Film Music: An Introduction in 11 Takes presents film music concepts in an accessible manner, using an approachable writing style. The book includes examples from contemporary movies familiar to the majority of students and features important content related to global cinema." - Sergi Casanelles, New York University
