Beschreibung:
Anna Morcom is RCUK Academic Fellow in the Music Department at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK.
Since their beginnings in the 1930s, Hindi films and film songs have dominated popular culture in South Asia and the diaspora and more recently gained popularity in Russia, the Middle East, parts of Africa, Britain and the US. Anna Morcom examines Hindi film songs from the perspectives of ethnomusicology, popular music studies, film music studies and South Asian studies. The unique findings of this book illustrate that the primary context of Hindi film songs is not just the culture and society of South Asia, but also the world created by their parent films and Hindi cinema in general.
Contents: The cinematic study of Hindi film songs; The production process of Hindi film songs; The musical style of Hindi film songs; Music, narrative and meaning in Hindi films; The commercial life of Hindi film songs; The audience reception of Hindi film songs in and beyond the parent film; Conclusions; Bibliography; Filmography; List of interviews; Glossary of Indian terms; Index.
