Rosebud Tienda de Cine has published the book “ Jerry Goldsmith. Versátil Estratega Emocional / Jerry Goldsmith. Versatile Emotional Strategist” by film music specialist Joan Bosch Hugas; a book divided into two volumes (Volume I: 1957-1979, Volume II: 1980-2003), with a total of 709 pages adding the two volumes.
The book includes an extensive review of each feature film of the composer (whether for the big screen or for television), accompanied by the promotional poster, as well as the existing discography annotated along with the cover art. Each feature film is treated individually, trying to contextualize it with the contemporary cinematographic activity and the artistic evolution of Goldsmith, trying to analyze the music as an integrated element of the film.
As the author tells us, the production for television series is of capital importance to understand the artistic evolution of the composer and, generally, little is said about it, having a chapter dedicated extensively to this subject, which has been written after having visualized approximately 80% of his production.
The book, with a size of 17,00 x 24,00 cms approx. (each volume) and with more than 500 Color & B/W photographs, has in its first volume a foreword by the renowned soundtrack producer, Robert Townson.
