(EDITORIAL COMMENT: The plotting is serious; but like many other films directed by Hitchcock, there is a very high amount of irony and humor. In this case, the humor partly resides in the fact that the leading man is Cary Grant, a movie superstar at that time. The idea of his being an "ordinary" NYC businessman was fundamentally ironic—one reason for the rather humorous tone of some of the film scoring.) NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959), dir.

...... Added note for clarification. The woman in this clip (played by Doris Day), knows that during the ongoing concert, an important foreign ruler sitting in the audience is going to be assassinated, but she doesn't know when. We DO know — the assassin will fire his gun at a climactic moment during the concert performance, when cymbals are clashed! Meanwhile, she is distraught because the killers' group has kidnapped her son to prevent her from going to the police. Her husband (Jimmy Stewart) is also trying to prevent the assassination, and you will see what happens when he arrives at the concert .....

Last on the listening menu: two examples of theater organ accompaniments, one for an exotic action drama, the other for a clever comedy. Each recording is an imaginative "realization" of an outline for a score (a published "Cue Sheet"), that was distributed to musicians across the country (and abroad) to be used ad lib. The performances were recorded in the 1960s or 70s, and they were done by experienced professional silent movie accompanists. And note: they are both much abridged—samplings of scores for films that last more than 60 minutes each.

Class 11 / Wed Oct 9 / MUSIC FOR SILENT FILMS IN OUR TIME: A sampling of new scores commissioned for various DVD collections of restored silent films. (Your instructor was the Music Curator and solo pianist for these DVD collections, and he reached out to many members of the MIT Music Faculty to write new scores whenever possible. Budgets were very limited, so the ensembles had to be kept small.) Booklet notes about all of these films will be distributed in class.

NOTE: Our textbook has a detailed "map" of the score for KING KONG, which has been repeatedly singled out by film music historians as a landmark. This is not to excuse the film's appalling racism—rather, it is important to see how powerful was its fusion of music and images, for better and worse! Also, I have a photocopy of the original score and will show you how it looks, in class.

Also see HtM p. 254 paragraph & caption. Compare this opening to the silent features you watched previously and note the change of film style brought about by the coming of sound: its reliance almost entirely on dialogue and a stagey set, though the latter is enlivened by some clever camera work.

Note 1: After composing his score for ALEXANDER NEVSKY, Prokofiev revised the score as a 7-movement cantata for concert presentations (without the film), and as such it became one of his frequently performed works. Also, this film reissue version features a new symphonic recording of the score done in the 1990s, so it has far better sound fidelity than the original!

Note: THE MAN WITHTHE GOLDEN ARM was a hard-hitting "social problem film." The story focuses oy fall into tn a jazz trumpeter (played by Frank Sinatra) who is addicted to heroin. The score by Elmer Bernstein was a pioneering example of music using BOTH "Expressionist" AND Jazz idioms—a point which should be clear from the Main Title on! Though the film is somewhat dated, it's worth watching at least the opening, and maybe more if you are intrigued. (In your instructor's view, films about addiction are always a bit hard to take: the plots can be heavy going. In this film, for example, there's a scene where the main character becomes desperate for "a fix," and it's no fun to watch!) The title, if you think about it, is quite ironic. SPOILER ALERT: But there is a happy ending, of sorts. The main character ("Frankie Machine") kicks his addiction ... i.e., he "goes straight."

The music was written as a score for an imaginary silent film (although by 1930, silent films were quickly becoming obsolete). It is in three segments, marked with these headings: "Threatening Danger"—"Fear"—"Catastrophe." But the piece runs without a pause and lasts a terse 8 minutes. It is a useful and concise introduction to a modernist style that became far more common in concert and film music during the post-World War II period.

The opera was the second in his tetralogy "The Ring of the Nibelung," very freely based on Norse mythology. The Valkyries were nine daughters of Wotan, the ruler of the Gods; their mother was the earth-mother goddess Erda.
