Скачать или смотреть Collection Connections: Hazel Burnett’s Impact on Film Music

Texas-based musician Hazel Burnett found a way to be heard in the era of silent films. She played live accompaniment for silent films as thousands watched in Texas’s biggest theaters, including the Majestic in Austin and the Aztec in San Antonio. Burnett's work can be found in the Center’s film music collection, including her handwritten cue sheet for Humoresque (1920), in which she assembled her own score to perform live at screenings of the film. Learn Burnett's story as Harry Ransom Center Curator of Film Steve Wilson and Executive Director of the Silent Film Sound & Music Archive Kendra Leonard take you back to the early days of film in this online program.
