MUSIC IN FILM  A brief history of soundtrack 

  During decades 1940s and 1950s, Hollywood became the centre of cinema and studios took on huge conductors, composers and orchestras. The musical style for cinema was classical. Great orchestras, generally strings orchestras, recorded alive over the film when it was filmed. 

The most important composers are Miklós Rozsa (“Jungle Book”, ”King of Kings”, “Quo Vadis? “,“Ben Hur”), Alfred Newman ("Wuthering Heights"), and Bernard Herman (“Citizen Ken”, “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir” or “Psycho”). During those years, a more authentic music, inspired in traditional music of each country was composed.
