The Narrative Composer: Hector Berlioz’s Impact on The Evolution of Film Scoring In The Twenty-First Century
Get PDFHector Berlioz was a French Romantic composer, whose literary and musical works have an undeniable effect on the history of Western music. Specifically, Berlioz’s most famous orchestral work, the Symphonie Fantastique, transformed how music could be utilized in an orchestral setting because it was the first programmatic symphony, which is a symphony with music set to a written narrative. The Symphonie would inspire German composer Richard Wagner to create what is now recognized as the leitmotif, a musical phrase used to identify an idea. In modern Hollywood film music, Wagner is credited with establishing the techniques that have become staples of the genre, such that Berlioz’s contributions were unjustly overshadowed as time went on. This project will be applying the written and musical works of Hector Berlioz to the modern Hollywood film score for the purpose of demonstrating how the techniques and creative intentions behind film compositions are indebted to Berlioz’s literary and musical works

Please Have a Seat / Ngồi Xuống
No full textThrough found objects and familial artifacts, my
current work focuses on constructing a family
dining room to signify how family meals establish
cultural traditions that can extend from generation to
generation. Family dinners are key to building culture
because each member can connect, communicate,
and share their unique backgrounds. I better
understood fragments of my family’s experiences
in Vietnam as well as their difficulties adapting to
America thanks to their stories. To construct my
dining space, I transferred personal artifacts from my
home to the new installation space. Then, I replicated
my mother’s cooking through appropriating found
objects. Using text, the “noodles” and “ice cubes”
became an important conversational narrative that
provided notions of identity, culture, and memory.
Unlike my mother’s method of cooking, preparing
my own “fake” meals provided a unique perspective
of the preparation process and a familiar sense of
childhood nostalgia. By presenting personal recorded
conversations with my family along with historical
photographs I make the audience feel as if though
they are a part of the work, welcoming them into the
space. Because I have not fully experienced Vietnam,
I project the same feeling of cultural diaspora with the
audience by simulating a unique conversation
and dining tradition.https://scholarship.rollins.edu/studioart_all/1021/thumbnail.jp
