Description
Adaptation, Rearrangement, and Music Across Screen Media explores the various ways in which adaptation and rearrangement shape the role of music across a range of screen media and communities of viewing. Many forms of audiovisual screen media are characterized by musical adaptation and rearrangement, constantly remixing and reusing pre-existing music in new and unexpected narrative contexts. This book shines a light on this practice and offers a wide-ranging overview of musical adaptation as a practice across film, television, video games, and online media, and identifies several key approaches to understanding its manifestations.
With contributors from musicology, ethnomusicology, music theory, sound studies, media, and gender studies, this volume illuminates one of the key features of music's role in the contemporary audiovisual media landscape. It will be of interest to scholars in musicology, media studies, and sound studies, as well as those in studying screen media and music.
