Description

This Routledge book explores the overlooked intersection of easy listening and film scoring during a transformative period in music history. Spanning 1948 to 1978, it documents how composers, arrangers, conductors, session musicians, and industry executives shaped easy listening as the dominant commercial music market of the mid-century era. Fuelled by the rise of the LP and home entertainment systems, easy listening generated more revenue for record labels than 7-inch singles, yet remains critically underexamined in academic and popular literature. The book examines easy listening's diverse subgenres-including classical, baroque, jazz, and Latin influences-and their integral relationship to film music composition and scoring practices of the period.

Key Features

Documents the significant connections between easy listening and film scoring from 1948 to 1978, an aspect largely overlooked in existing academic scholarship.

Examines how easy listening became the largest commercial music market of the mid-century period, generating substantial revenue for the record industry.

Analyses the roles of composers, arrangers, conductors, session musicians, and executives in shaping easy listening's cultural and economic impact.

Explores diverse subgenres including classical, baroque, jazz, and Latin influences within the easy listening format.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic press specialising in music history and cultural studies.
