關於影視配樂的作曲學位

應用音樂作曲在學術圈內一直很難有一席之地,其是否有學術性,一直備受爭議。很多念傳統理論作曲的人,在音樂教學市場飽和之後,則想跨足配樂市場,或者雖正在念理論作曲,骨子裡卻比較喜歡做電影配樂。雖然以影視配樂為主所提供的的碩士以上學位之系所非常少,但也確實存在。國內目前已經有人在這種組合的學校攻讀作曲博士,這種課程規劃在該校被稱為 composition for visual media,UCLA 系統之分校就提供這樣的碩士學位,由於在 composition program 底下,所取得的學位仍稱為「作曲」主修的學位,與傳統理論作曲碩博士的學歷無異,但課程容納了更多為媒體配樂的內容。

以下就是上述所說的學校概況。 台灣目前也已有人取得公費留學資格前往就讀博士班。

該碩士班的主任也以配樂為主要作品,介紹如下:

除了器樂作品之外,他也做過進百部動畫配樂,在學術圈是很特異的例子:

In addition to his many concert works, Mr. Chihara has composed scores for over 90 motion pictures and television series. He has worked with such luminaries as directors Sidney Lumet, Louis Malle, Michael Ritchie, and Arthur Penn. His movie credits include Prince of the City, The Morning After, Crossing Delancey, and John Turturro’s Romance and Cigarettes. His works for television include China Beach, Noble House, Brave New World, and 100 Centre Street. Mr. Chihara also served as music supervisor at Buena Vista Pictures (Walt Disney Co.). Also active in the New York musical theatre world, Mr. Chihara served as musical consultant and arranger for Duke Ellington’s Sophisticated Ladies, and was the composer for James Clavell’s Shogun, the Musical.

Mr. Chihara’s works have been widely recorded. His compositions appear on many labels including BMG Records, Reference Recordings, CRI, Music and Art, Vox Candide, New World Records, The Louisville Orchestra First Editions Records, and Albany Records. 





以下為熱心網友所提供的資料,但無法確定取得的學位是否為 composition,或是另有名稱。學位的名稱攸關是否能進入傳統的音樂班、音樂系教授理論作曲。當然,成績單上的修課紀錄也有影響。個人認為應用音樂在台灣的音樂系所裡頭,一般是被否定的或不被重視的,因此音樂系所相關的課程需求也很少,從十多年前中山大學成立應用音樂組以來,這個領域就一直發展不起來,想念的人也少(可能是因為做流行音樂跟學歷沒有絕對的關係所致),一般學校頂多當作選修課。因此念這種學位,必須抱持「往業界發展」的決心,如果存有「教學維生」的想法,那麼並不建議念跟配樂相關的學位。如果想「應用」與「教學」兼顧,建議仍選擇「理論作曲」主修,但選修「應用音樂」課程,然而選校便需要多瞭解該校所能提供的選修課程和師資了。

不好意思我想請問一下
所以意思是UCLA的電影配樂只是學程並不是學系嗎?是包含在理論作曲底下?那現在還是這樣嗎?
謝謝
