The terms “film score” and “film soundtrack” are often used interchangeably but a slight distinction exists between them. A film score involves an original piece of music that is written with a specific film in mind. The film director works with the composer to create a score that will enhance the story and emotional impact of the film. The film soundtrack, on the other hand, may contain musical tracks that existed well before the film was made and were not created for the film in which they are featured.
From the 1930s through the 1950s, the field of film music really took off. At this time, many film composers held backgrounds in concert music and so tended to exclusively write orchestral music. Some of the most famous composers of this era include Max Steiner, largely regarded as “The Father of Film Music,” Enrich Korngold, who heavily influenced composer John Williams’ musical work on Star Wars in 1977, and Alfred Newman, who composed over 250 films and fathered film composers Thomas Newman and David Newman, and singer-songwriter Randy Newman.
In the 1950s, film music began to expand into new genres. Alex North, composer for A Streetcar Named Desire, introduced a hybrid symphonic-jazz film score that moved Hollywood away from what had previously been its exclusively European sound. In 1958, Miles Davis contributed to the film score for French. Noir film Elevator to the Gallows, making him one of the earliest African-American film composers. He helped set the stage for later artists like Quincy Jones and Terence Blanchard. In 1967, The Graduate changed the game by almost entirely licensing songs that had nothing to do with the film itself. The 1970s saw the addition of synthesizers to film scores while the ‘80s involved many original songs such as “Ghostbusters.” Thanks to this rich history, today’s cinematic scores encompass a wide range of genres and musical styles.
