Houben, Jean Francois. 1000 compositeurs de cinèma. Paris: Editions du Cerf, 2002 [Also printed by Comdè-sur-Noire: Les Editions Corbet, 2002].
-
A concise dictionary of people who write music for movies and television with an emphasis on movies. Could be used to find additional film credits for a favorite composer. Work is in French, but the organization makes it accessible to non-francophones.
-
The list includes 985 composers from the time of silent movies to the publication date (2002). No criterion is given for how widely a movie had to be distributed to qualify its composer for inclusion in the work.
-
Composers are listed alphabetically by last name followed by a short biography. The biography includes birth date, date and place of education, and film credit highlights. This is followed by a filmography that may include some TV credits. When applicable a discography is included.
-
A list of movies indexed to the composers would have made this work more useful.
