Film Music in the Aspect of Stylistic Modeling

The article examines film music from the point of view of stylistic modeling as a compositional technique in cinema music. On the level of musical thematicism this presumes a free approach towards work with quoted material realized by means of stylization or allusion. The compositional level is structured through a compiled (polystylistic) means of organization of the musical setting by juxtaposition of the quoted material. Work with precise or arranged quotations is viewed in the aspect of compositional technique, the individuality of the film producer and the genre-related specificity of films. The video context is disclosed of appearance of quotations from classical music, the expediency of them being brought in, the ethicality of connecting well-known compositions of the classics with video images, which are in discord with the initial content of the music. Analysis is made of the process of creation of a film soundtrack and the measure of the authorial expression of will and a re-interpretation of themes by classic composers. Use is made of the methodology of integrated and stylistic analysis traditional in Russian musicology, and research methods with incorporation of special music research tools in the structure of the media-text elaborated by Tatiana Shack. The essence of the method consists in a rejection of analysis of a traditional musical text and its replacement with an audio-visual form with a complex examination of music in combination with visual and verbal constituents and taking into account the context in which they exist. The proposed approach towards analysis is based on knowledge of the specificity of functional music: its discreteness, derivative qualities, multifunctionality, compilativity, contextual quality, dependence on montage rhythm and subservience to the video material.
