Kompositorische Effizienz und dramaturgische Vielfalt. Der Fabelzusammenhang in der Filmmusik Ennio Morricones und die Beziehungen zu narrativ wirksamen Topik-Reihen by Robert Rabenalt

“…Am Beispiel der eher unbekannten Filmmusik zu Sostiene Pereira (I/F/P 1995, Regie: Roberto Faenza) wird ein zentraler Aspekt des Filmmusikschaffens Ennio Morricones beleuchtet, der sich durch enge Korrespondenz zwischen der Musik und den narrativen Strukturen des Films auszeichnet. Rhythmische und melodische Elemente sowie einzelne Aspekte der Instrumentierung eines in der filmischen Narration verankerten Lied-Arrangements werden variiert, neu kombiniert und gezielt zwischen der ›internen‹ auditiven Darstellungsebene der Szene und der ›externen‹ auditiven Ebene transferiert. …”
