Certainly! Here's the text from your presentation transformed into bullet points:
- Prolongation in film music
- Importance of harmonic impatience and tonal prolongation
- Influence of German theorist Heinrich Schenker's work on prolongation
- Modern usage encompasses linear procedures and abstract diatonic functions
- Example: "The Picnic" from Miklós Rózsa's score to Spellbound (1945)
- Pastorale accompanying a stroll between Dr. Petersen and Dr. Edwardes
- Ternary form prolonging D major with contrasting middle section in tonicized subdominant G major
- Use of harmonically far-out point in B major for dramatic effect during stumbling moment, resolving back to D
- Challenges to Schenkerian analysis in "The Picnic"
- Prolonged seventh and added sixth chords, parallel octaves, modally mixed plagal cadence disrupt conventional expectations
- Idiosyncrasies of tonality earning in film music
- Contrast with Romantic concert music where key is more nebulous
- Film music driven by dramatic effect rather than structural coherence
- Example: Max Steiner's score for She (1935)
- Astonishingly abrupt modulation at the movie's end for surprise effect
- Climactic statement of love theme resolves to D♭ major but quickly shifts to E major for strangeness and adventure
- Undermining monotonality as an expressive device without narratival or visual motivation
