'''''Unheard Melodies: Narrative Film Music''''' is a book written by film scholar Claudia Gorbman, first published in 1987 by [[Indiana University Press]] and the [[British Film Institute]]. The book explores the role of music in cinema and the history of its analysis, drawing from the works of [[Theodor W. Adorno]] and [[Hanns Eisler]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Kassabian |first=A. |date=1 March 1990 |title=Claudia Gorbman, ''Unheard Melodies: Narrative Film Music''; Rick Altman, ''The American Film Musical'' |url=https://doi.org/10.1093/screen/31.1.119 |journal=Screen |volume=31 |issue=1 |pages=119–124 |doi=10.1093/screen/31.1.119 |issn=0036-9543 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
== Overview ==
The book is divided into two main parts: "Music in the Narrative Cinema", dealing with the history and content of film music analysis since the beginning of film, and "Three Analyses", a series of chapters examining the films [[Zero for Conduct|''Zero for Conduct'']], ''[[Under the Roofs of Paris]]'' and [[Hangover Square (film)|''Hangover Square'']] according to the framework of the first part.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Gorbman |first=Claudia |title=Unheard melodies: narrative film music |publisher=BFI Pub.; Indiana University Press |year=1987 |isbn=978-0-253-33987-4 |location=London; Bloomington}}</ref>
The book is notable for having introduced the terms [[Diegetic music|"diegetic" and "non-diegetic"]] to describe the relationship between music and film narration, deriving from [[narrative theory]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Goldmark |first=Daniel |title=The Grove dictionary of American music |date=2013 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-531428-1 |editor-last=Garrett |editor-first=Charles Hiroshi |edition=2nd |location=New York, NY |chapter=Gorbman, Claudia Louise |doi=10.1093/acref/9780195314281.001.0001}}</ref>
== Reception ==
In a review written for [[Film Quarterly]], Kathryn Kalinak characterised the book as "a ground-breaking work which provides an access point to the admittedly foreign terrain of film music for the film scholar/critic and establishes the standard for theoretical discourse in the field."<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Kalinak |first=Kathryn |date=1988 |title=Review of Unheard Melodies: Narrative Film Music |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1212590 |journal=Film Quarterly |volume=41 |issue=4 |pages=56–58 |doi=10.2307/1212590 |issn=0015-1386 |url-access=subscription}}</ref>
Reviewer Alan Durant summarised the work as follows: "Put at its simplest, the book explores 'why' film-soundtrack history happened as it did, by relating the historical development of soundtrack conventions to different kinds of argument about film music's function."<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Durant |first=Alan |date= |year=1988 |title=''Unheard Melodies: Narrative Film Music.''
