Reviews
'With Hollywood Theory, Non-Hollywood Practice, Annette Davison offers a second-generation approach to film musicology that stands in relationship to the first generation (Gorbman, Kalinak, et al) much as her subject stands to Hollywood cinema - building on, reacting against, making us think about the most basic issues with new critical facilities. Sensitivity to industry practice is increasingly essential to understanding film texts and contexts, as she demonstrates in her case studies. Her discussion of the historical/theoretical framework of (and silences on) music in film will be an excellent foundation for any student in the field, and reflects the current expansion of film music scholarship into sound "at large", to the advantage of film music, film sound, and film studies.' Robynn Stilwell, Georgetown University, USA. 'Serious students of film music will certainly want to study Davison's account.' Popular Music 'For many reasons, Annette Davison's book Hollywood Theory, Non-Hollywood Practice should be essential reading for film music and music scholars. In its focus on film music in the 1980s and 1990s, this book covers territory that has seen only limited exploration.' American Music
