Jane Austen & Movie Music: A Visit with Ruth Mudge

The delicate tinkling of a pianoforte. The clash of cymbals. The soothing strains of a harp. Music in Austen film adaptations performs a variety of functions: it can set the scene, highlight a character’s personality, make us laugh, and make us sigh. In this episode, music maven Ruth Mudge joins us to discuss the soundtracks of four screen adaptations we know and love. A cellist, faculty member at the String Academy of Chicago, and assistant principal in the Elmhurst Symphony, Mudge also has her own podcast, World of Soundtracks, where she offers in-depth explorations of famous movie and TV soundtracks.For a transcript, show notes, and guest bio:  https://jasna.org/austen/podcast/ep11Visit our website:  www.jasna.orgFollow us on Instagram and FacebookEmail: [email protected] clips included in this episode:"Pride and Prejudice"—Pride and Prejudice by Carl Davis, 1995"Dawn"—Pride and Prejudice (Music from the Motion Picture), music by Dario Marianelli and performed by Jean-Yves Thibaudet, 2005"Mrs. Darcy"—Pride and Prejudice (Music from the Motion Picture), music by Dario Marianelli and performed by Jean-Yves Thibaudet, 2005"Emma Woodhouse"—Emma (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), music by Isobel Waller-Bridge & David Schweitzer, 2020"Celery Root"—Emma: Music from the Miramax Motion Picture, music by Rachel Portman, 1996"Main Titles"—Emma: Music from the Miramax Motion Picture, music by Rachel Portman, 1996
