Analysing Musical Multimedia

This book is the first to put forward a general theory of the manner in which different media - music, words, moving picture, and dance - work together to create multimedia. Beginning with a study of the way in which meaning is mediated in television commercials, the book concludes with in-depth readings of Disney's Fantasia, Madonna's video Material Girl, and Armide (Godard's sequence from the collaborative film Aria).
