Additional, for Chapter 17 (film music)

• Maurice Jarré, "Dr. Zhivago", Soundtrack
• For an example of different ways that music is used in film, watch the 2017 movie, "The Phantom Thread", and pay particular attention to the sound track. The original music is by Johnny Greenwood (There Will Be Blood), and there are other pieces, including popular or jazz standards and classical music. In the light of Copland's Chapter 17, think about how music is used in this film. This exercise might enhance your sensitivity to music in films.
