Music in Films on the Middle Ages: Authenticity vs. Fantasy
By John Haines

Paperback
ISBN: 9781032925271
248 Pages
Published: October 14, 2024, by Routledge

About the Book

Dive into the fascinating intersection of medieval history, music, and cinema with John Haines' Music in Films on the Middle Ages. This compelling work examines over 500 feature-length films depicting the Middle Ages, exploring the interplay between historical authenticity and cinematic fantasy in their musical elements.

Haines delves into six iconic musical moments central to creating the "medieval feel" in films:
- The church-tower bell
- Trumpet fanfares and horn calls
- Music at banquets and courts
- Singing minstrels
- Gregorian chant
- The music accompanying riding warriors
Each chapter uses specific films as case studies to reveal how these soundscapes evolved and how they balance historical evidence with modern cinematic storytelling.
