At the beginning of the movie, music was accompanied by live accompaniment or form. For thirty years of silent black and white, a large number of excellent film composers have emerged, but their randomness, on-the-spot creative characteristics, social turmoil and careless preservation-the loss of music scores is no more optimistic than the retention of nitric acid negatives. A few years later, people regained it, restored the silent film, and composed new music for it. Therefore, apart from the few surviving original soundtracks, a well-known silent film often has many musical versions. Take DWGriffith's "Remnant Tears" as an example. In addition to the initial version of Louis F Gottschalk that year, there are three or four kinds of soundtracks by professional composers, excluding some band scenes during screenings. Gottschalk 1919's works are highly evaluated, and the director Griffith's lead song "white blossom" is very chronological. When listening to it, the sad and sweet classical love breath rushes to the face. It is worthy of the director's ambition to test the waters of "art poetry".
Another composer Carl Davis made Moonlight in 1983, Joseph Turrin2001 DVD, and there is a studio, which is a piece of citations from various classic masters, but the style is not tuned, not to mention some band works. At first glance, there is a version that contains both tragedy, grievances and banter, but it's okay, but I don't know the composition.
