Based on the article, the author of the book under review seems satisfied that tonal, orchestral music has a new place in film scores. But, it should be observed that, as music for film, it puts music in a secondary role. There is a massive theme missing about (instrumental, ‘high art’ for lack of a better term) music no longer being an art form that most people pay full attention to. Who the hell (outside of a select few, including myself) sits down and just listens to a symphony or long concerto these days?
