Description: "The soundtrack is examined is a whole, and the specific 'soundworlds' of each character, location and relationship are drawn out as the basis for the overall style and construction of the score. Themes are viewed in both musical and narrative terms, and musical connections between the themes are identified.

A close analysis of the placement and development of musical themes throughout the film draws the threads of the book together, revealing the complex musical journey that forms a unique and integral element of the characters."--Jacket.
