5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read for Elfman fans, July 20, 2005

By	jeff-t "jt" (vancouver) - See all my reviews

I bought the score to Batman when it came out in 1989, and consequently decided that I wanted to do music for film. When I saw that this book was available, I immediately wanted to get it. It's extremely in depth, looking at every angle of the score, it's relationship with the film, the cultural significance of both the film and the score, the orchestration, the overall thematic elements, etc. I can only imagine how many times the author must have seen the film. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
