Complete Guide To Film Scoring
Richard Davis
I've found this to be a useful guide for any composer
interested in learning the standard requirements
for scoring to picture, eg basic film history, spotting,
preparation etc (although quite US-centric). Also
includes interviews with Danny Elfman, Elliot Goldenthal,
Mark Isham, Alan Silvestri and many more. |

Orchestration
Cecil Forsyth
Originally written in 1913, the book focuses on
traditional approaches to writing for orchestra.
Although not perhaps as relevant to more contemporary
approaches to scoring, there is a huge amount of
useful information on the different orchestral sections
and is an extremely useful text for film scorers. |
