    The classical style: composers in the studio era -- A song remembered: Frédéric Chopin goes to war -- The new Tin Pan Alley: Hollywood looks at American popular songwriters -- "Just an innocent bystander": the composer films of Ken Russell -- "A long, dark coda into the night": the composer films of Tony Palmer -- Revisionist portraits: a medley of recent composer biopics

    Even before movies had sound, filmmakers dramatised the lives of composers. Movie biographies - or biopics - have depicted composers as diverse as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, George M. Cohan, Stephen Foster, and George Gershwin. In this enticing book, the first devoted entirely to such films, John C. Tibbetts surveys different styles and periods from the Hollywood of the 1920s and 1930s to the international cinema of today, exploring the role that film biographies play in our understanding of history and culture. Tibbetts delves into such questions as: How historically accurate are composer biopics? How and why have inaccuracies and distortions been perpetrated? What strategies have been used to represent visually the creative process? The book examines the films in several contexts and considers their role in commodifying and popularizing music. Extensive archival research, dozens of illustrations, and numerous interviews make this an appealing book for film and music enthusiasts at all levels. "Every film buff will want to consult this book, as will musicologists and students in film and communication studies." Michael Saffle, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

    Introduction : a language for imagining native America -- New world Americans -- Exotic peoples, exotic sounds -- Nostalgia for a native land -- Americans again -- Conclusion

    This book offers a comprehensive look at musical representations of native America from the pre-colonial past through the American West and up to the present. The discussion covers a wide range of topics from the ballets of Lully in the court of Louis XIV to popular ballads of the 19th century; from 18th-century British-American theatre to the musical theatre of Irving Berlin; from chamber music by Dvorak to film music for Apaches in Hollywood Westerns. Michael Pisani demonstrates how European colonists and their descendents were fascinated by the idea of race and ethnicity in music, and he examines how music contributed to the complex process of cultural mediation. Pisani reveals how certain themes and metaphors changed over the centuries and shows how much of this 'Indian music', which was and continues to be largely imagined, alternately idealised and vilified the peoples of native America
