Miklos Rozsa's Ben-Hur by Roger Hickman (Paperback, 2011)

About this product

Product Information

In 1925, MGM produced a screen version of Lew Wallace's best-selling vel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, which became a classic of silent cinema. Nearly 25 years later, the biblical epic was remade by William Wyler and received an unprecedented 11 Academy Awards, including one for Miklos Rozsa's music. Indeed, the score for Ben-Hur is one of the greatest achievements in Hollywood film music. In this book, Roger Hickman focuses on the confluence of traditions, trends, and invations that shaped Rozsa's score. Hickman provides an overview of Rozsa's music into the 1960s, looks at the composer's musical influences and the development of his distinctive style, and examines how Rozsa applied these compositional techniques to film scoring. The author then explores the Ben-Hur phemen and traces the development of the story and its musical traditions from the original vel into the 21st century. Hickman also examines the conventions of epic films and ties these influences together with a detailed analysis of the score. Miklos Rozsa's Ben-Hur pays tribute to t only one of the great film scores but also to one of Hollywood's most influential composers.
