Hollywood Rhapsody is a history of American movie music, from the days of the silent movies to the maverick productions of the seventies. It tells the story of how talented, if sometimes invisible, musicians, composers, and lyricists have created some of the most memorable music of our time. The stirring, slashing music from Psycho; the sweeping score for Gone with the Wind; the swooning notes of "As Time Goes By" from Casablanca - these and so many more are imprinted on our cultural memory.
Gary Marmorstein delves into various genres of motion pictures - from cowboy pictures to pioneering animation and rock 'n' roll - to show how music has enhanced the movies. He also discusses the end of the classic era of film scoring and its impact on American music. Hollywood Rhapsody combines history and biography for an entertaining trip through the world of movie music.
