Publisher Comments:

At last, one book delivers everything you need to know about motion picture soundtracks and their composers!

An unparalleled reference source and much, much more, Sound and Vision offers a detailed history of movie music on record and compact disc; up-to-date biographical sketches of soundtrack composers throughout movie history; and annotated listings of the best-selling, award-winning, or otherwise noteworthy soundtracks of the past and present — original film scores as well as movie musicals and song-compilation scores. It even provides a comprehensive index so that you can instantly know if the music you're looking for is commercially available.

Review:

"Anyone with even a passing interest in film music should have this book." Randy Newman

Review:

"In an era in which books about film music are proliferating at a rapid rate, it is Jon Burlingame who speaks with the most clear and authoritative voice. He is a researcher willing to check the facts at the source. He speaks with great love for the art of composing music for film and is a kind and knowledgeable critic of the state of the art." Elmer Bernstein

Review:

"There are few chroniclers of the film music scene as astute and accurate as Jon Burlingame, and this book is a valuable gift to anyone who's just getting hooked on soundtracks." Leonard Maltin

About the Author

Jon Burlingame writes about movie music for Daily Variety and the Los Angeles Times. His previous books are TV's Greatest Hits, a history of television scoring, and For the Record, a look at union activism among studio musicians. He teaches film music history at the University of Southern California and is currently writing a multi-generational biography of the Newman dynasty of Hollywood composers.
