Description

Explore the deep connections between easy listening and film music in this detailed study from Routledge. While academic studies often focus solely on film music, this book addresses the overlooked relationship between scoring and the easy listening genre. It examines how composers, arrangers, conductors, session musicians, and executives operated within both worlds. As the rise of the LP and home entertainment transformed the industry, easy listening grew into the largest midcentury commercial music market. This book explains how the genre generated more actual income for the record business than 7-inch singles. By covering various subgenres, including classical influences, the text provides a necessary look at the commercial power and musical complexity of this era. This is a valuable resource for those studying music history, commercial music markets, and the evolution of midcentury sound.
