| Abstract
|
:
|
Provides a comprehensive analysis of Ford's use of music in his iconic westerns. Covering a variety of critical approaches and incorporating original archival research, this book explores the director's oft-noted predilection for American folk song, hymnody, and period music. It states that Ford used music as more than a stylistic gesture.
