Abstract Relatively little has been written about film scores and soundtracks outside of Hollywood cinema. This book addresses this gap by looking at the practices of film soundtrack composition for non-Hollywood films made after 1980. The author argues that since the mid-1970s the model of the classical Hollywood score has functioned as a form of dominant ideology in relation to which alternative scoring and soundtrack practices may assert themselves.
