Sonatas, Screams, and Silence: Music and Sound in the Films of Ingmar Bergman is the first musical examination of Bergman s style as an auteur filmmaker. It provides a comprehensive examination of all three aspects (music, sound effects, and voice) of Bergman s signature soundtrack-style. Through examinations of Bergman s biographical links to music, the role of music, sound effects, silence, and voice, and Bergman s working methods with sound technicians, mixers, and editors, this book argues that Bergman s soundtracks are as superbly developed as his psychological narratives and breathtaking cinematography. Interdisciplinary in nature, this book bridges the fields of music, sound, and film."
