Despite playing such an important component in his productions, however, the ways in which Kubrick used music to great effect is still somewhat mysterious to many viewers.

Gengaro discusses the music in every single work, from Kubrick’s first films, including the documentary shorts The Flying Padre and Day of the Fight to all of his features films, from Fear and Desire to the film he was working on when he died. No film is left out, no cue is ignored.
Besides closely examining the scores composed by Gerald Fried for Kubrick’s early works, the author pays particular attention to five of the director’s most provocative and acclaimed films 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut. In each, the author engages the reader by explaining how the music was excerpted and changed and how the historical facts about a musical piece add layers of meaning to the films. Meant for the film lover, the music lover and the scholar, Listening to Stanley Kubrick offers a thoroughly researched examination into the musical elements of one of cinema’s most brilliant artists. Appropriate for a cinema studies or music classroom, this volume will also appeal to any fan of Kubrick’s films.
