Sense & Sensibility. Form, Genre, and Function in the Film Score
2000
Overview
Examines musical form and expressive content in the novel \"Sense & Sensibility,\" in the 1995 film adaptation written by and starring Emma Thompson and directed by Ang Lee, and the film's musical score by Patrick Doyle. Contends that film music is a genre in which aesthetic concerns of form collide with the immediate demands of content in particularly pointed ways, and this score is especially intriguing in that respect. Argues that in order to understand the implications of the music in the film, one must first address some conventions of musical form, as well as Jane Austen's novel and its literary context. Presents themes and formal procedures, both narrative and musical, as historically contingent rather than having a causal relationship. Concludes that what is happening in \"Sense & Sensibility\" is a free adaptation of musical form in a truly filmic context, in which dramatic narrative, cinematic technique, and musical form work together. Includes notes, musical examples and stills.
