This course will explore the history of film music from its earliest incorporation of music into silent movies, through the Golden Years of cinema, to its catalytic impact on our conscious and subconscious appreciation of film. After meeting Auntie Mame you'll discover Hollywood's main drag, Sunset Boulevard, see how Coca Cola bombed out in East Berlin, freak out with Psycho, hear how ethnic folk instruments become characters themselves, chill with E.T., and LOTS more!
