Film d'Art and Saint-Saens| Pioneers in creating art through silent film and music

Description

<p> Film d'Art, the French production company responsible for the development of Henri Lav&eacute;dan's <i>L'Assassinat du Duc de Guise</i> (1908), demonstrated a forward-thinking vision for film and music. Through their innovations, the company combined many elements of cinematography with new standards for quality productions. This project report will investigate the goals of Film d'Art and its unusually high ambitions, standard music practices in the silent film era, the issues revolving around the instrumentation to Saint-Sa&euml;ns' score to Henri Lav&eacute;dan's<i> L'Assassinat de Duc de Guise</i> (1908), and the performance of my arrangement in a graduate recital.</p>
