Contributors examine how media on stage and screen uses music, and in particular early music, to evoke and recompose a distant past. Culture, popular and otherwise, is awash with a stylise - sometimes contradictory - musical history. And yet for all its complexities, these representations of the past through music are integral to how our contemporary and collective imaginations understand history. More importantly, they offer a valuable insight into how we understand our musical present. Such representative strategies, the book argues, cross generic boundaries, and as such it brings together a range of multimedia discussion on the subjects of film (\u003ci\u003eLord of the Rings, Dangerous Liasions\u003c\/i\u003e), television (\u003ci\u003eGame of Thrones\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Borgias\u003c\/i\u003e), videogame (\u003ci\u003eDragon Warrior,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eGauntlet\u003c\/i\u003e), and opera (\u003ci\u003eWritten on Skin\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTaverner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Understanding the Present through the Past; the Past through the Present \u003cem\u003eJames Cook, Alexander Kolassa, and Adam Whittaker \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: Authenticity, Appropriateness, and Recomposing the Past \u003c\/strong\u003eChapter 1: Representing Renaissance Rome: Beyond Anachronism in Showtimes \u003ci\u003eThe Borgias \u003c\/i\u003e(2011) \u003cem\u003eJames Cook \u003c\/em\u003eChapter 2: Baroque à la Hitchcock: The Music of \u003ci\u003eDangerous Liaisons \u003c\/i\u003e(1988) \u003cem\u003eMervyn Cooke \u003c\/em\u003eChapter 3: ‘Frame not my Lute’: The Musical Tudor Court on the Big Screen \u003cem\u003eDaniela Fountain \u003c\/em\u003eChapter 4: It Ain’t Over ‘til King Arthur Sings: English Dramatick Opera on the Modern Stage \u003cem\u003eKatherina Lindekens \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: Music, Space, and Place: Geography as History \u003c\/strong\u003eChapter 5: Musical Divisions of the Sacred and Secular in '\u003ci\u003eThe Hunchback of Notre Dame' \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cem\u003eAdam Whittaker \u003c\/em\u003eChapter 6: Celtic Music and Hollywood Cinema: Representation, Stereotype, and Affect \u003cem\u003eSimon Nugent \u003c\/em\u003eChapter 7: David Munrow’s ‘Turkish Nightclub Piece’ \u003cem\u003eEdward Breen\u003c\/em\u003e Chapter 8: Little Harmonic Labyrinths: Baroque Musical Style on the Nintendo Entertainment System \u003cem\u003eWilliam Gibbons\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePart 3: Presentness and the Past: Dialogues between Old and New \u003c\/strong\u003eChapter 9: Presentness and the Past in Contemporary British Opera \u003cem\u003eAlexander Kolassa \u003c\/em\u003eChapter 10: Angels in the Archive: Animating the Past in '\u003ci\u003eWritten on Skin' \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaria Ryan \u003c\/em\u003eChapter 11: Werner Herzog and the Filmic Dark Arts: Myth, Truth, Music, and the Life of Carlo Gesualdo (1566–1613) \u003cem\u003ePhilip Weller \u003c\/em\u003eChapter 12: Medievalism, Music, and Agency in \u003ci\u003eThe Wicker Man \u003c\/i\u003e(1973) \u003cem\u003eLisa Colton \u003c\/em\u003eChapter 13: Music in Fantasy Pasts: Neomedievalism and '\u003ci\u003eGame of Thrones' \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cem\u003eJames Cook, Alexander Kolassa, and Adam Whittaker \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50577815241047,"sku":"9781138287471","price":137.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781138287471.jpg?v=1746096805","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/recomposing-the-past-representations-of-early-music-on-stage-and-screen-9781138287471","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
