John Williams's Film Music: Jaws, Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the Return of the Classical Hollywood Music Style (Wisconsin Studies in Film) - Tapa blanda

"A compelling, well-researched investigation of John Williams's role in the Hollywood film music industry. . . . Audissino's ability to address both film and music scholars in one accessible and engaging text is one of the study's greatest strengths."--Notes: Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association "Emilio Audissino should be commended for his passion and research of such a stellar composer as John Williams."--Larry Timm, author of The Soul of Cinema: An Appreciation of Film Music "A much-needed work that captures the spirit and thinking of John Williams. Audissino is to be applauded for taking on such a large musical figure and for presenting him in the most wide-ranging manner. One gets the impression that he has tracked down every significant fact on Mr. Williams."--Vincent LoBrutto, author of Sound-On-Film

Long before Stonewall, young Air Force veteran Edward Field, fresh from combat in WWII, threw himself into New York's literary bohemia, searching for fulfillment as a gay man and poet. This work is an account of his avant-garde years in Greenwich Village and the bohemian outposts of Paris' Left Bank and Tangier.
