DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 1998, music scored for film has only relatively recently received the critical attention which it merits. Many composers in the twentieth century have written works for films or documentaries, a number feeling that this aspect of their output has been undervalued. This dictionary complements other studies which have appeared in recent years which look at the technical and theoretical issues concerned with film music composition. Arranged alphabetically by composer, the volume comprises over 500 entries covering all nationalities. Each entry includes very brief biographical information on the composer, followed by a list of the films (with dates) for which he or she has composed. Details of recordings are also given. The dictionary’s international coverage ensures that it will become a standard reference work for all those interested in the history of twentieth-century music and the development of film.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book represents at least to Robert Clarke what every red-blooded Canadian boy should have been doing in the 50’s and 60’s, that is “getting some”. He has no time for contemporaries who did the “right thing” and then went home moaning with bulging trousers, not a bit of it. Robert was a disgusting boy and not unsurprisingly to his father became an even more disgusting old man as he writes revealingly in his only now published diary. Poor Robert had always assumed that his ravings would only see the light of day some hundred years after his passing, but due to unforeseen events the light of day is now. The old roue must be spinning in his grave with embarrassment as most of his players (now victims) are still with us and very much running for cover. Even in death Robert Clarke continues to romp haphazardly over the deep sensitivities of “Old Toronto” with many distinguished matrons now unable to show themselves in public due to “alleged“ youthful moments with young Robert. Sadly for Toronto there is the very ugly rumour of further diaries from the very spotted hand of Robert Clarke Esq to come!!
