Reviews / Votes
Meyer's clear and articulate study promises to be a welcome addition to the reading list of anyone interested not just in film but in mid-century music history. * Journal of the Society for American Music * Epic Sound is a major contribution to the field of film music studies and ought to be widely read by musicologists with an interest in film. Really, it ought to be read by film scholars as well: although the depth of Meyer's engagement with the music is felt on almost every page, this is also a powerfully sustained exploration of the biblical epic as a film genre. * American Music * This is a well-researched and thorough book examining what the author finds to be a unique facet of film music of the late 1940s and early 1950s - its use, sometimes to glorious excess, in the biblical epics of postwar Hollywood. * Soundtrax * Stephen C. Meyer provides detailed, historically grounded research into the music of post-Second World War biblical epics. 4/1/16 * Music, Sound and the Moving Image *More details
