Just came across this title and, well, it's got a pretty hefty price tag so I'm not sure I'll be shelling out for it any time soon.
"In Experiencing Film Music: A Listener’s Companion, Kenneth LaFave guides the reader through the history, ideas, personalities, and visions that have shaped the music we hear on the big screen. Looking back to the music improvised for early silent movies, LaFave traces the development of the film score from such early epic masterpieces as Max Steiner’s work for Gone With the Wind, Bernard Herrmann’s musical creations for Alfred Hitchcock’s thrillers, Jerry Goldsmith’s sonic presentation of Chinatown, and Ennio Morricone’s distinctive rewrite of the Western genre, to John Williams’ epoch-making Jaws and Star Wars. LaFave also brings readers into the present with looks at the work over the last decade and a half of Hans Zimmer, Alan Silvestre, Carter Brey, and Danny Elfman."

“We here are surely of higher intelligence”
I think this would go quite nicely on the FSM message board banner, don’t you all agree?

Alan Silvestre? And who is Carter Brey?!? I had to google that name, and see that he's a cellist. Not sure what he has to do with film music, though.

I did the same thing. Must be a friend of the author.

Got it.
Will review it in short time.
At first glance, its seems pretty standard and doesn't cover enough of the modern scene.
The bibliography is not very extensive.
