Description
Despite their name, silent films of the early cinematic era were frequently accompanied by music and sound elements including mechanical instruments, live performers, and audience sing-alongs. This concise book contains 12 chapters exploring the multitude of functions filled by music in the rapidly changing context of the silent film era as the concept of cinema itself developed. Examples are drawn from around the globe and across the history of silent film, both during the classic era and later uses of the silent format. Part of the Routledge Music and Screen Media Series, this volume examines how sound shaped the silent film experience and contributed to cinema's artistic and technical evolution.
