One of the most enduring elements of the film has been Jerome Moross's score. In Jerome Moross's The Big Country: A Film Score Guide, Mariana Whitmer examines Moross's landmark work, a score that continues to attract listeners and influence composers of film, Westerns and otherwise. This book begins with a biographical survey of Moross's formative years, providing an historical context for understanding his approach to scoring The Big Country. Drawing upon Moross's original manuscripts and correspondence, Whitmer looks carefully at the score itself and examines the music's individual cues. Finally, the aftermath of this score is considered, including how it has influenced not only subsequent Westerns but also music videos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMariana Whitmer teaches film music and manages special programs at the Center for American Music at the University of Pittsburgh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 8.48 x 5.54 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 25, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757701497120,"sku":"9780810885004","price":98.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/jerome-morosss-the-big-country-a-film-score-guide-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
