Grounded in close analytical, critical, and theoretical work identifying the key traits of music and sound in this “peak TV” period, the book casts its critical net wider to develop interpretations of significance not just for screen music studies and musicology, but for screen and media studies too. By theorizing “peakness” with respect to sound and music, and by drawing together contributions from a diverse collection of prominent musicologists, media scholars, and practitioners, this handbook provides the authoritative guide to the role music has played in creating the success of some of the most culturally and commercially significant popular art of the early twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003evolume\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003econtains 25 essays in three main sections—Concepts and Aesthetics, Practices and Production, and Audiences and Interpretations.
