Those who are interested in the
definitive bibliography of
film music should download Gillian
Anderson
and Ronald Sadoff’s. If you are interested in music cognition
bibliographies, try http://www.hfac.uh.edu/cogsci/biblio/index.cfm.
My bibliography is directed towards the cognition and perception of
film music underscore in mainstream film and
television,
and reflects my study interests at the moment (which does not usually
include
any music with text, such as songs, musicals etc.). The list includes
books,
chapters, dissertations, websites, papers and articles, from many of
the different
disciplines, that a complete study of the subject could require:
musicology,
psychomusicology, media psychology, neurology, film studies, popular
music
studies, aesthetics, and semiotics. I am less interested in music not
written
originally for specific motion pictures. The primary reason for my
study is to
derive knowledge that may help those involved, professionally, in music
for
motion picture, to have a greater, conscious understanding of what they
might
be doing (making the process more efficient and consistently accurate).
I
apologize for being English language biased, and often list books in
their
translation, that were originally in another language (and I sometimes
fail to
credit translators!). This list also serves as a catalogue of resources
in my
possession at this time. Perhaps you
might find
this chart of interest? I am always happy for any suggestions, and
hope to
hear from anyone interested in this subject. You can contact me: musbib
(at)
attglobal (dot) net
(Yea! Psychomusicology will be available online, again,
under the
care of Dr. Annabel Cohen. This means, somewhere in the near future,
the links
to those articles will be valid again. Thank you Dr. Cohen)
