Samenvatting
A study that offers the documentation of the lost history of songs of the silent cinema. It chronologically lists and describes songs about movies and moviegoing created between 1896 and 1929. It provides an alphabetical list of movie stars, including a brief biography of each and a description of the songs created about them and for their films.
Musical accompaniment to films was an important feature of the early moviegoing experience. The quality of a musical score could easily make or break films in the silent era, and the songs themselves sometimes became more popular than the films. Conversely, the silent cinema became a major subject in popular music, inspiring a flood of songs about the films, the stars and the experience of going to the movies. Today, few of these songs are remembered.This study begins the documentation of the lost history of songs of the silent cinema.
