“In this wonderful study of music scoring for film, Gregg Redner turns to the philosopher Gilles Deleuze to seek a way in which to talk about music as a part of the mise-en-scène. Up until now, there have been two fundamental and somewhat opposing approaches to film scoring—the one emanating from musicologists, the other from specialists in film studies. Neither seemed to satisfy the needs of the other and certainly neither was able to fully explain what happens to music in film nor, indeed, what music causes to happen within film. Redner sets out to find a way of bridging these two opposing approaches and, in doing so, he offers us a new and fresh way to understand film music. Written with intellectual grace and scholarly elegance, these analyses of selected films will incite readers to revisit them with a new eye and ear.”
