Description | Arved Ashby, Professor of Music and Chair of the Department of Musicology at The Ohio State University, presents a lecture on "The Recent Importance of Sound Design Over Film Scoring." Present-day music for film and TV often involves what moviegoers would call noise and sonic gestures rather than "music." When did sounds (as opposed to themes, transitions, chords, and other aspects of classical Hollywood scoring) become so expressive and narratively meaningful in movies? This Lyceum Series lecture, sponsored by the Meadows Foundation of Dallas, is free of charge and open to the public. |
