Elmer Bernstein's Film Music Notebook
Available for the first time since the 1970s!
 The Film Music Society is pleased to announce a long-awaited publication – the complete collection of Elmer Bernstein's Film Music Notebook. This historic quarterly journal, comprised of thirteen installments, was originally published by Bernstein himself between 1974 and 1978 – issued only to subscribers of Bernstein's Film Music Collection of limited edition recordings.
Film Music Notebook features extraordinary interviews of notable film composers (conducted by Bernstein himself) in addition to score analyses, biographical sketches, articles on historical and contemporary music topics, and Bernstein's Collection News. This 579-page hardcover, filled with illustrations and photographs, includes a brand new introduction by Bernstein and foreword by noted journalist Jon Burlingame.
Respected film composers Hugo Friedhofer, Jerry Goldsmith, Henry Mancini, Johnny Green and David Raksin are among the many interviewees presented in this indispensable research and reference source. Notables such as Daniele Amfitheatrof, Bronislau Kaper, John Addison, Leo Shuken and Richard Rodney Bennett were rarely if ever interviewed anywhere else. Scores by Bernard Herrmann, Dimitri Tiomkin, Franz Waxman and others are analyzed, while numerous articles focus on the music of John Barry, Jerry Fielding, John Williams and many more.
This time capsule of twentieth century motion picture music history is a must for libraries, historians, collectors and enthusiasts.
Film Music Notebook is a Film Music Society publication and available for $40 plus s/h directly through the FMS. Society members receive a 10% discount on the retail price.
