Inc Wonderful editorial by William H. Rosar Research Associate at University of California San Diego on the enduring appeal of composer and film composer Bernard Herrmann and the eternal question of, does film music stand up on its own as an artform away from the cinema? William H Rosar takes us on a journey on finding the answer to that very question consulting music critics and composers who have definite ideas about the art of scoring for films. This is an EDITDED VERSION of the editorial and the full editorial is still available to read and digest, link below. As with all my videos I have included some music, stills and video to illustrate this editorial which is very much an academic piece of writing which details the minutiae of the question is film music "music" and can it stand alone in the concert hall. William H Rosar also looks at the question of whether Bernard Herrmann is The Beethoven of film music and discusses this drawing on quotes from critics and writers which forms the second part of this edited editorial.
