We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Music Libraries
When choosing music for a given film, it is useful to have access to a library of recorded music. A good collection of gramophone records is a convenient basis.
The more comprehensive the collection, the more important it is to have it catalogued adequately. This does not mean merely listing the records under their titles or composers even though you can often find inspiration by looking down such a list. A catalogue is more useful if it classifies the records according to mood. So tabulate your records under the following headings :
Sad, tragic Gay, bright
Eerie, weird Festive
Sinister, foreboding Peaceful, pastoral
Disaster, pain Triumphal
Storm, fire Serene, dreamy
Spiritual, religious Martial, circus
Hurry, pursuit Grand, majestic
Fanfare Dainty, pretty
Slapstick Children
Each record usually embraces several moods and a considerable amount of cross-indexing is therefore necessary. For example, Dukas' " Sorcerer's Apprentice " begins and ends in a mood which should be classified as "eerie, weird". The greater part of the piece, however, could be described as "slapstick", as "hurry, pursuit" or as "storm, fire".
So do not be misled by titles. The name on the record does not make the music sound any different. Just shut your eyes, use your imagination, listen to the record and list it accordingly.
Final Choice
You are justified in using any music with any film provided it fits its context. You should therefore collect records covering a wide range of moods and without consideration of the titles. Try to avoid the more popular works, even in classical music. Symphonies such as DvoMk's "New World",
