Variety shows used Music as entertainment and were there at the origin of Rock in the early years. But it was the imitation of the Radio Format that led to the most popular television formats for music: the Music Video. 


MTV began broadcasting in 1981 and its programming consists exclusively of everything related to the world of music, from music to news produced by the industry and mainly of Music or Song Videos. 

One of the pioneers of Music Videos was Michael Jackson and his 'Thriller' is among the most popular ever.

Music Videos of All Time



Television programs often start with Music; with a recognizable tune called 'opening'. They are automatically associated with the series or TV program.

UNIT 4 DAY 3 - Cinema and Music.

   

Questionnaire (Unit 4 Day 3 - Fifteenth Lecture of 3ESO)

Original Soundtrack of a film.
    Create the emotional ambient that supports images. They should be subtle and based on what is happening and said by the actors. When it changes from ambient music to narrative music, it occupies the place of dialogue or even the entire message.

 Soundtrack Recordings..
    It is a commercial product (merchandising), extracted from the film with the Music. It can be a CD containing edited Music and the instrumental parts of the songs or the Music itself and without dialogue or sound effects.
    

The first screening of the Lumiere brothers' movie (December 25, 1895) had a pianist playing along the moving images. In screening rooms with increased capacity (theaters actually) they even had organs as Wurlitzer imitating the sounds of an orchestra and those of special sound effects. The performers usually played and improvise over well-known melodies until the film gained enough entity to allow renowned composers to write the first film scores.

Soundtracks (OST for short) began with the first pianists who accompanied the films in cinemas and the first composers who wrote specifically for a particular film (mainly for German directors Lang and Murnau). 

Alexander Nevsky - "The Battle of the Ice" by Prokofiev

Metropolis - Dance Scene


The arrival of talking pictures had a peculiar effect, as the focus was on the dialogue and sound effects, Music was relegated to the background. But in the forties and this happens until now, Music occupies a special place in the history of cinema.

UNIT 4 DAY 4 - Music and Theatre.

   

Questionnaire (Unit 4 Day 4 - Sixteenth Lecture of 3ESO)

Incidental Music.
    Music that is used to create an emotional ambient to accompany a play or a performance of silent film. It should always be in the background of the narrative.

  Diegetic Music.
    Music in the scene that the actors can actually hear. It may be what they hear on a radio, an orchestra if in a concert hall or singing actors in a musical.


If the action of a theatrical performance presents Music, there are several possibilities when it comes to its classification.


Some Scenic Music uses singing and Music as its only element, like Opera. There could be part of the text that is read aloud along the singing and Music, like in Musicals, Operetta and Zarzuela. Sometimes there is only Music, like in Ballet and Pantomime. And another option is a variety program, like Vaudeville and Music Hall.

Musical

Songs From Theatre Musicals


Opera: Der Rheingold by Wagner

Opera Songs


Zarzuela: Barberillo de Lavapies by Barbieri

Antología de la Zarzuela


Vaudeville


Moulin Rouge




But there is one Music that accompany spoken dramas and comedies: Incidental Music. 

Incidental Music for A Midsummer Night's Dream


Incidental Music For the MGM Tom & Jerry Cartoons

And this one, I couldn't resist it. Although it is from a Cartoon (meaning Movie or TV) it is a lovely example of Incidental Music.
