Classical Music In Movies

This article takes the phenomenon of "citing classical music in movies" as the research object,combining the two aesthetic objects of film and classical music for cross research.It is also a comprehensive study conducted from the perspective of dual texts of music and film,using the methodology of music narratology and reception aesthetics.Classical music,film,and film music have quite sufficient research results in their respective fields,but there are still many issues worth exploring and exploring in the subdivided fields that combine them.The first chapter briefly analyzes the textual characteristics of the two genres of music and film.The focus for music texts is mainly on the audio text and the associated audio space,while the focus for film texts is mainly on the lens language and the corresponding image space.On the basis of understanding the characteristics of the two texts,a classification discussion is conducted on the combination methods of the two,and the concepts of active music and passive music are introduced to prepare for the discussion in subsequent chapters.Finally,the perspective is narrowed down to the research object,and some basic situations and main issues of classical music quoted in movies are clarified.The second chapter focuses on the participation and influence of classical music on narration in movies.Film,at least for the most part,is mainly a medium for storytelling,so narration is a very important part of it.As a comprehensive art form,film can rely on multiple elements such as screen,sound,and text to cooperate with each other to form a complete narrative expression.Compared to movies,music is a more abstract art form,and the discussion about its connotation has never stopped.The meaningless nature of notes often poses great resistance to this discussion,but it is also full of fun.Since the Romantic era,or since the emergence of "headline" in music,classical music also seems to have the ability to tell stories.Since the 1970 s and 1980 s,many cross research fields such as music narratology and music rhetoric have gradually emerged in people’s vision,the discussion of music narrativity has gradually reached a new climax,and similar research paradigms have been increasingly applied to the study of music works in various periods.Based on these discussions,this article places two different narrative media,film and music,in the same context,thereby adding a new perspective to the narrative discussion of music.The third chapter reviews and reflects on this phenomenon from the perspective of reception aesthetics.What is the perspective of expectations represented by the reference to classical music in movies,and what is the impact of such special reception behavior on both the aesthetic subject and the object,including the impact on classical music,the impact on movies,and the impact on movie soundtracks.
