“I feel that music on the screen can seek out and intensify the inner thoughts of the characters. It can invest a scene with terror, grandeur, gaiety, or misery. It can propel narrative switftly forward, or slow it down. It often lifts mere dialogue into the realm of poetry. Finally, it is the communicating link between the screen and the audience, reaching out and enveloping all into one single experience.” InspirationalFeelsCharacterPoetryMusicAudienceSceneExperienceMiseryMereTerrorCommunicateScreensDialogueLiftsNarrativeRealmsReachingLinksComposerReach OutGrandeurSound Of MusicGaietyBackground Music Author:Bernard Herrmann
“By denying people's sense of visual beauty in painting and sculpture , melody in music , meter and rhyme in poetry , plot and narrative and character in fiction , the elite arts wrote off the vast majority of their audience .

“Modernism had two great wishes. It wanted its audience to be led toward a recognition of the social reality of the sign (away from the comforts of narrative and illusionism, was the claim); but equally it dreamed of turning the sign back to a bedrock of World/Nature/Sensation/Subjectivity which the to and fro of capitalism had all but destroyed.” WorldTwoRealityWantedWishSocialAudienceComfortCapitalismClaimsDestroyedRecognitionNarrativeSensationsModernismSubjectivityBedrock Author:T.
