Download or read book Film Composers in America written by Clifford McCarty and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film Composers in America is a landmark in the history of film. Here, renowned film scholar Clifford McCarty has attempted to identify every known composer who wrote background musical scores for films in the United States between 1911 and 1970. With information on roughly 20,000 films, the book is an essential tool for serious students of film and a treasure trove for film fans. It spans all types of American films, from features, shorts, cartoons, and documentaries to nontheatrical works, avant-garde films, and even trailers. Meticulously researched over 45 years, the book documents the work of more than 1,500 composers, from Robert Abramson to Josiah Zuro, including the first to score an American film, Walter C. Simon. It includes not only Hollywood professionals but also many composers of concert music--as well as popular music and other genres--whose cinematic work has never before been fully catalogued. The book also features an index that lets readers quickly find the composer for any American film through 1970. To recover this history, much of which was lost or never recorded, McCarty corresponded with or interviewed hundreds of composers, arrangers, orchestrators, musical directors, and music librarians. He also conducted extensive research in the archives of the seven largest film studios--Columbia, MGM, Paramount, RKO, 20th Century-Fox, Universal, and Warner Bros.--and wherever possible, he based his findings on the most reliable evidence, that of the manuscript scores and cue sheets (as opposed to less accurate screen credits). The result is the definitive guide to the composers and musical scores for the first 60 years of American film.

Kennedy become America's thirty-fifth president.

Download or read book A History of the Music for Wind Band written by Leon J. Bly and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2024-07 with total page 1188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a historical survey of the wind band’s music and denotes how historical and cultural developments have influenced it over the course of time. Although the modern wind band developed first in the 19th century, it has its roots in the wind music of ancient times, and music survives that has been composed since the Middle Ages. Therefore, this book covers the music from that time to the present, including the dance music of the Renaissance, the Harmoniemusik of the Classical Period, and the nationalistic music of the Romantic Period, as well as the major wind band repertoire developed after 1900.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breyerfest 2017 Edition. When I had 100 models I could still remember what I owned. When I had 300 models I computerized my records - and crated the first version of this list. That was years ago. Breyer had added thousands of new models and hundreds of new molds. New (and old) companies have come and gone, or changed names. I'm always looking for more information, especially for companies and models not listed in this book. Detail start to escape me - was that the bay with 3 socks and black hooves, or the bay with 3 socks and pink hooves, of the bay with 4 socks version? There is just too much information to remember. I'm an avid collector. When I first started in the hobby, there were no books available, just box catalogs. This book is meant to be a record of YOUR collection. It is meant to be written in. You can mark if you own it or just want it. You can even write in a name for your model under the notes section. See you at Breyerfest!

Download or read book Identity Community and Sexuality in Slash Fan Fiction written by Anne Kustritz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores slash fan fiction communities during the pivotal years of the late 1990s and early 2000s as the practice transitioned from print to digital circulation. Delving into over ten years of online and in-person ethnography, the book offers an in-depth examination of slash fan fiction – original stories written by and circulated within female-centered communities about same-sex characters borrowed from previously published sources – to document the history of a feminist, queer media subculture whose infrastructure, creativity, and ways of life are often obscured in dominant histories of the internet’s development and by the contemporary focus on industry-friendly but often misogynist digital fan subcultures. Arguing that online slash communities created an alternate public space that provided opportunities for unanticipated encounters with a wide range of complex sexual, relational, and political practices, the book contends that slash thereby added to readers’ tools for experiencing and thinking about pleasure and ways of living by forming a “pocket public,” that is a digital space public enough to be found and protected enough to shield participants from harassment and censorship. This insightful and comprehensive study will interest students and scholars working in the areas of media studies, literary studies, anthropology, new media, audience communities, convergence culture, fan studies, women’s studies, and queer studies.
