4 out of 5 stars Great, easy to understand book.   January 3, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book was great for the beginner. It breaks down scoring into easy to understand sections. Great examples are used from prominent composers. Definitely a must have for anyone who is just getting serious about composing for picture.


5 out of 5 stars Incredible...   August 25, 2005
If there is one book that is essential for today's aspiring film composers, THIS IS IT!

It answered all the questions I had, as well as several I didn't!

The score examples are very helpful in clarifying the techniques of film scoring.

If you are an aspiring film composer, get this book. IT IS A MUST!



5 out of 5 stars The "Bible" of Film Scoring   January 14, 2003
 10 out of 14 found this review helpful

Absolutely the best book out there. Unfortunately, it is no longer in print. When I purchased the book; it originally cost me $.. dollars which I thought was quite expensive at the time. Not so anymore. I have used this book again and again. Includes Click Book as well which is wonderful. If you are SERIOUSLY interested in film scoring as career or even in scoring the occasional film this book is a MUST. Repeat MUST. It is worth $... or more.

Happy Composing,
Sincerely,

5 out of 5 stars The basic contemporary film-scoring text.   December 8, 1998
 27 out of 29 found this review helpful

An excellent book, and the principal how-to text in the field of film scoring. It's used as the text in university-level film-scoring classes, and it's on the desk of many practicing feature-film composers. Karlin and Wright teach their subject by means of interviews and case studies, and also discuss the terms and technologies that relate to the gear being used today. Content-wise, Karlin and Wright don't hold back, presenting a whopping 886 pages of information. Ron Simpson, Brigham Young University Author of MASTERING THE MUSIC BUSINESS
