Reseña del editor

This is an analysis of the manner in which different media - music, words, moving picture, and dance - work together to created multimedia. Although generally associated with contemporary developments, in particular video and film music, a general theory of musical multimedia also encompasses traditional genres such as song and opera. This book seeks to establish principles, and a terminology for their description, that apply across the whole spectrum of musical multimedia. Beginning with a study of the way in which meaning is mediated in television commercials, the book concludes with in-depth readings of Disney's "Fantasia", Madonna's video "Material Girl", and "Armide" (Godard's sequence from the collaborative film "Aria"). It sets out to show how approaches deriving from music theory can contribute to the understanding of multimedia, but also seeks to draw conclusions from the practice and further development of musical analysis.
