Music in the Films of Lars Von Trier
An exploration of one of contemporary cinema's most provocative directors, this book considers Lars von Trier's innovative use of pre-existing music, demonstrating how it shapes cinematic meaning through a unique combination of music and film analysis, archival research, and insider interviews.From the world's end set to Richard Wagner's Tristan and Isolde in Melancholia, through the haunting performance by Björk on the gallows in Dancer in the Dark, to the reinterpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach's organ piece "Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ" as a metaphor for hypersexuality in Nymphomaniac, Lars von Trier's films employ pre-existing music as a central storytelling device.Drawing on exclusive access to Lars von Trier's private archives and interviews with key collaborators, this book uncovers the behind-the-scenes processes that bring these musical moments to life. It explores how pre-existing music is adapted, reimagined, and interwoven with visual narratives. The book's transdisciplinary approach reflects the diversity of Lars von Trier's films, offering fresh perspectives on musical adaptation, audience engagement, and the collaborative nature of filmmaking. By examining Lars von Trier's entire filmography, it provides a deeper understanding of how music shapes cinematic storytelling and its emotional resonance, making it a valuable resource for film studies and musicology.

Music Libraries and Imagined Images
This book takes a musicological and sociological lens to the workings of this little-noticed sonic presence that shapes the media of our everyday lives, exploring how library music is created, received and used in online media, and what sets it apart from other musical practices. Library music is an ubiquitous yet often unquestioned presence in contemporary media. This pre-existing music is used in a wide variety of contexts, from television and film trailers to YouTube videos. Although library music was first targeted at professional audiovisual producers, the spread of digital technologies has widened this music industry's client-base to include amateur videographers and online content makers. Drawing from qualitative interviews with composers and media producers, these actors' perspectives are woven together in order to reach an in-depth insight into library music's creation and synchronization with pictures. The book teases out the patterns and peculiarities of library music that distinguish it from other musical practices: it is cast here as usable music made for imagined images, and as a repository of shared musical imaginaries. By exploring how library music is continuously transformed in multiple and unpredictable moments of meaning-making, we also unveil its specificity not as a finished musical work, but rather as a raw material meant to be repurposed and reshaped beyond composers' hands. Ultimately, the book reframes library music as an object worthy of attention - one that can reveal much about music for media today.

Callas and Her Doubles
João Pedro Cachopo examines the intensification of the myth of Maria Callas in the 21st century, focusing on media-driven projects around the celebrated soprano that illustrate the coexistence of technological euphoria and cultural nostalgia in the digital age.Nearly 50 years after the death of Maria Callas (1923-1977), the myth of the legendary soprano not only persists but has gained new intensity. The Callas phenomenon has transcended the realm of opera, revealing a paradox of our time: the intertwining of technological euphoria and cultural nostalgia. This intensification extends far beyond traditional tributes, such as exhibitions and biographies. It is characterized by a wave of technologically ambitious projects that stand out for their media complexity and artistic boldness. In 2017, Tom Volf initiated the Maria by Callas project, encompassing an immersive exhibition and an innovative documentary. The following year, Callas in Concert, a live show with a hologram of the singer, toured internationally. More recently, in September 2020, Marina Abramovic premiered her multimedia opera-performance, 7 Deaths of Maria Callas, at the Bayerische Staatsoper.All this raises a fundamental question: in an era dominated by technical reproducibility, is the value of aura in decline, or is it metamorphosing? And what does the acceleration of the Callas myth reveal, not only about the artist and her legacy, but also about contemporary culture and our collective imagination?

Busby Berkeley at Warner Bros.
Busby Berkeley's big-production numbers are emblematic of the Hollywood dream factory.Exploring the tensions between escapism and ideological over-coding in the Warner Bros. musical, this book tracks the ways in which Berkeley created spectacles that are both critical and complacent in relation to the society that produced and received them. Berkeley carried into his images of utopia the assembly plant, the misogyny, the fascism and racism of his day, but his collaboration with the filmmakers (Enright, Bacon and LeRoy) into whose narratives his numbers were spliced likewise involved taking care to draw a line between spectacle and the everyday. The book makes the case that the Warner Bros. musical, with its attention to the specificity and containment of the aesthetic dimension, has corrective lessons to impart for the aestheticized politics not only of the 1930s, but also of the current age.
