What is Music in the Western: Notes From the Frontier (Routledge Music and Screen Media) about?

__Music in the Western: Notes from the Frontier__ presents essays from both film studies scholars and musicologists on core issues in western film scores: their history, their generic conventions, their operation as part of a narrative system, their functioning within individual filmic texts and their ideological import, especially in terms of the western’s construction of gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity. The Hollywood western is marked as uniquely American by its geographic setting, prototypical male protagonist and core American values. __Music in the Western__ examines these conventions and the scores that have shaped them. But the western also had a resounding international impact, from Europe to Asia, and this volume distinguishes itself by its careful consideration of music in non-Hollywood westerns, such as __Ravenous__ and The __Good, the Bad, and the Ugly__ and in the “easterns” which influenced them, such as __Yojimbo__. Other films discussed include __Wagon Master, High Noon, Calamity Jane, The Big Country, The Unforgiven, Dead Man, Wild Bill, There Will Be Blood__ and __No Country for Old Men__. **Contributors** > Ross CareCorey K.
