Your post contains a lot of very helpful information. I'm glad to find it.

And thanks much for the reference to my analysis of Herrmann's score for "The Day the Earth Stood Still!"

Wow, Catherine! That's quite a list. You've excelled yourself on this one. I'm not sure I'll get chance to read much of it, but I'm glad it's here as a reference guide.

Thanks a lot, Todd and Dan. This list's been in the pipeline for a while. But if anyone knows of any other Open Access essays/e-theses/e-books on film (or TV) music I've missed, so far, I'll be updating the post as I'm alerted to these so please email me or comment. Cheers.

Hi guys, I'm from Germany and searching for essays for a paper I have to write. It's about Music in Silent Films ... There've been alot of good essays - but I haven't actually found one on the Silent Film Era.
Do you have an idea where I could look for stuff like that? That's a topic which is not really well researched :(

Maybe you've got an idea? :)

Thanks, Jana W.
