The Secret Language of Film Music-Today musical composition for films is more popular than ever. In professional and academic spheres media music study and practice are growing; undergraduate and postgraduate programs in media scoring are offered by dozens of major colleges and universities. And increasingly pop and contemporary classical composers are expanding their reach into cinema and other forms of screen entertainment. Yet a search on Amazon reveals at least 50 titles under the category of film music and remarkably only a meager few actually allow readers to see the music itself while none of them examine landmark scores like Vertigo  To Kill aMockingbird  Patton  The Untouchables or The Matrix in the detail provided by Scoring the Screen: The Secret Language of Film Music.This is the first book since Roy M. Prendergast's 1977 benchmark  Film Music: A Neglected Art to treat music for motion pictures as a compositional style worthy of serious study. Through extensive and unprecedented analyses of the original concert scores it is the first to offer both aspiring composers and music educators with a view from the inside of the actual process of scoring-to-picture.The core thesis of Scoring the Screen is that music for motion pictures is indeed a language developed by the masters of the craft out of a dramatic and commercial necessity to communicate ideas and emotions instantaneously to an audience. Like all languages it exists primarily to convey meaning. To quote renowned orchestrator Conrad Pope (who has worked with John Williams Howard Shore and Alexandre Desplat among others): “If you have any interest in what music 'means' in film get this book. Andy Hill is among the handful of penetrating minds and ears engaged in film music today.”

'Ave verum was commissioned early in 2011 by Edward Rowntree for the birthday of his father John Rowntree director of music at Douai Abbey in the UK. My aim was to write a piece both short and simple suitable for regular liturgical use. There are of course many wonderful settings of this text already not least those by William Byrd and Edward Elgar both of which I sang as a boy. In this instance I felt their presence as a fellowship and having their music in my head while writing I was encouraged rather than daunted. In fact if you listen with this in mind you may hear a phrase or two in homage to the great masters.' - JohnDugganAn inspiring selection of new works from a range of contemporary composers the Novello New Choral Series offers pieces for all types of choirs including sacred and secular works from simple four-part settings to more expansive yet accessible repertoire in an exciting variety of styles.Born in 1963 John Duggan was a chorister at Westminster Cathedral and studied music at Oxford.
