Thank you a lot! Book is fantastic and comunication with you was not problem although I'm from Czech Republic: I bought the score to Batman when it came out in , and consequently decided that I wanted to do music for film.

When I saw that this book was available, I immediately wanted to get it. It's extremely in depth, looking at every angle of the score, it's relationship with the film, the cultural significance of both the film and the score, the orchestration, the overall thematic elements, etc. I can only imagine how many times the author must have seen the film. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Excellent analysis of a superb film score from one of my favorite film composers--Danny Elfman. David Arnold and John Williams are my other favorite composers. This book is a very interesting read. It is full of details about Danny Elfman's history and how he got to where he is today: I had hopes of learning more about Elfman's compositional style and method.

I had hopes of seeing some of the scores from the "Batman" film in order to study his methods better.

That not what I got. There is at best 30 measures of actual music in the book, and of those 30 or so measures they are partial scores that focus on individual individual groups instead of the score as whole.

Elmer Bernstein's The Magnificent Seven: The Emerging Film Composer: John Williams's Film Music: Editorial Reviews Review Elfman's original score supports well over half of Tim Burton's two-hour Batman , which is no small achievement.

In addition, Elfman proved how effective music can be in what is usually called the "action movie" genre. She analyzes the themes behind Batman and Elfman's effective use of duality in describing a complex character in conflict, set against others clearly good or evil. Halfyard then works through the score and film scene for scene. Reference and Research Book News Though Scarecrow Press has thus far published three volumes in their Film Score series, hopefully it'll continue further, and perhaps Halfyard will tackle another composer of particular note.

Halfyard is a senior lecturer at Birmingham Conservatoire, a faculty of the University of Central England, where she teaches courses in film music, and twentieth century and contemporary music.
