If you’re even considering a career in film scoring, the material offered in this course is an essential introduction to understanding the traditional role of composers, as well as what the future of scoring looks like. Beginning in the late 1800s with silent films and through to the present day, this course provides an overview of the major stylistic trends and musical influences that led to the development of film scoring as a vital and living dramatic art form.

Films are never produced in a vacuum, but are products of their time and place; likewise, the music that is designed to support and accompany these films is no exception. To understand the concepts of clichés, archetypes, and other associative devices used by film composers, the student must go back to the original source, and consider the historical context. Even if you are taking the course for interest’s sake alone, you will be able to better appreciate the art and craft of effective film music, as you come to understand that nothing you hear happens by chance.

We will discuss and analyze the lives and works of significant composers, ranging from the romantic/operatic orchestral tradition to the influences of popular styles such as jazz, rock, and song scores. We will also examine more recent trends including electronic/synthesized scores and the influence of world music.

Each week’s lesson will begin with an introduction by your instructor containing an overview of a particular theme or topic; a look at the larger historical context of that topic; and substantial analysis of a variety of supporting materials (film and audio clips as well as thematic and harmonic score examples) both self-guided and with the direction of the instructor.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Analyze and identify the characteristics of music associated with major genres of films
Chart the influence of each generation of film composers on the next
Identify archetypes, role models, and clichés used in significant film scores
Connect films and film music to their eras
Think critically about the ways in which music is paired with visuals
