While Hammer Film Productions is famous for such classic films as \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Curse of Frankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e, few observers have noted the innovative music that Hammer distinctively incorporated into its horror films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   This book tells how Hammer commissioned composers at the cutting edge of European musical modernism to write their movie scores, introducing the avant-garde into popular culture via the enormously successful venue of horror film. Each chapter addresses a specific category of the  avant-garde musical movement. According to these categories, chapters elaborate upon the visionary composers who made the horror film soundtrack a melting pot of opposing musical cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland and Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038006804823,"sku":"9780786434565","price":20.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780786434565.jpg?v=1750938596","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hammer-film-scores-and-the-musical-avantgarde-9780786434565","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
