Elmer Bernstein's The Magnificent Seven: A Film Score Guide

Mariana Whitmer

4.9/5 (32220 ratings)

Description:Released in late 1960, The Magnificent Seven was a Western reimagining of the 1954 Japanese film The Seven Samurai. Despite such stars as Steve McQueen, Yul Brynner, and Charles Bronson, the film was not terribly successful when it premiered. However, in the years since, the film has become recognized as a classic of the genre. And though the movie received only one Academy Award nomination, that honor was bestowed upon Elmer Bernstein's rousing score. Beyond the scope of the film, however, the score has permeated American culture, used in countless commercials and referenced on television shows like Cheers and The Simpsons. But what makes this score so memorable? In Elmer Bernstein's The Magnificent Seven: A Film Score Guide, Mariana Whitmer examines the creation and development of one of the most iconic soundtrack's in the history of cinema. The author explores the significance of its familiar score through a variety of lenses, first delving into the background of Elmer Bernstein and his emergence as one of the key composers of the Silver Age of film music. This book also traces Bernstein's early musical endeavors and considers what led to his attraction to "Americana" music, which particularly influenced the music for The Magnificent Seven. The book also summarizes Bernstein's early Westerns, noting that they are clearly in the mainstream of the genre's musical style, but enhanced by Bernstein's own distinctive touches. Providing unique insights into the creation of this iconic score--which was deemed one of the 10 greatest film scores of all time by the American Film Institute--this book explains what makes the score so enduring. Elmer Bernstein's The Magnificent Seven: A Film Score Guide will be of interest to cinema and music scholars in general, as well as to fans of film music and the work of one of Hollywood's finest composers.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
