This is an analysis of the manner in which different media - music, words, moving picture, and dance - work together to created multimedia. Although generally associated with contemporary developments, in particular video and film music, a general theory of musical multimedia also encompasses traditional genres such as song and opera. This book seeks to establish principles, and a terminology for their description, that apply across the whole spectrum of musical 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").
