The Reel World: Scoring for Pictures

Jeff Rona

This informative book is written by a true industry insider. Jeff Rona has written film scores for both movies and television. Here he shares on-the-job stories and discusses what makes a piece of music right for a score, collaborating with music editors and film directors, the synergies between score and main title music, dealing with network/film company politics, and more.

Also included are tips and techniques for home studio design, score examples, and orchestration concepts, as well as engaging interviews with many well-known composers such as John Williams, Carter Burwell, James Newton Howard, and Mark Isham.
