The Score: Interviews with Film Composers by Nicholas Reyland The Journal of Film Music (ISSN: 1087-7142), provides an interdisciplinary forum for scholars in music, film and other disciplines who share a common interest in this vital new area of scholarly inquiry. Though now represented in mainstream journals in music, film, the media, and mass communication, scholarly writing on film music is currently dispersed across many publications throughout the world. By providing a scholarly journal devoted to the subject, the interdisciplinary work of film music studies can flourish. Contributions encompassing all aspects of film music history, analysis, theory, and criticism are welcome. The website of the Journal can be found at www.ifms-jfm.org.
