Movie Music

[size=3][color=#29384e][font=Times New Roman]Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as[/font][font=宋体]“[/font][font=Times New Roman]silent[/font][font=宋体]”,[/font][font=Times New Roman] the film has never been[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] in the full sense of the word[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] silent. From the very beginning[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] music was regarded as an indispensable accompaniment[/font][font=宋体];[/font][font=Times New Roman] when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular tunes. At first[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] the music played bore no special relationship to the films[/font][font=宋体];[/font][font=Times New Roman] an accompaniment of any kind was sufficient. Within a very short time[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] however[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] the incongruity of playing lively music to a solemn film became apparent[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] and film pianists began to take some care in matching their pieces to the mood of the film.[/font][/color][/size]
[size=3][color=#29384e][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/color][/size]
[size=3][color=#29384e][font=宋体]  [/font][font=Times New Roman]As movie theaters grew in number and importance[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] a violinist[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] and perhaps a cellist[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] would be added to the pianist in certain cases[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed. For a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] and very often the principal qualification for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown[/font][font=宋体]([/font][font=Times New Roman]if indeed[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] the conductor was lucky enough to see them then[/font][font=宋体]),[/font][font=Times New Roman] the musical arrangement was normally improvised in the greatest hurry.[/font][/color][/size]
[size=3][color=#29384e][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/color][/size]
[size=3][color=#29384e][font=宋体]  [/font][font=Times New Roman]To help meet this difficulty[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] film distributing companies started the practice of publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] for example[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] the Edison Company began issuing with their films such indications of mood as[/font][font=宋体]“[/font][font=Times New Roman]pleasant[/font][font=宋体]”,“[/font][font=Times New Roman]sad[/font][font=宋体]”,“[/font][font=Times New Roman]lively[/font][font=宋体]”。[/font][font=Times New Roman] The suggestions became more explicit[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] the titles of suitable pieces of music[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next.[/font][/color][/size]
[size=3][color=#29384e][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/color][/size]
[size=3][color=#29384e][font=宋体]  [/font][font=Times New Roman]Certain films had music especially composed for them. The most famous of these early special scores was that composed and arranged for D.W Griffith[/font][font=宋体]‘[/font][font=Times New Roman]s film Birth of a Nation[/font][font=宋体],[/font][font=Times New Roman] which was released in 1915.[/font][/color][/size]
