tuba, and many other instruments. They wanted to show what they were like
to other races, so they attempted to express themselves and their feelings

the music which they played came from black folk music. Jazz did have a
part of it come from Europe. The ...

for a scene. None of the music is arbitrary; themes and sub themes have been
created with specific ideas in mind and have been put in place only to add to
the story and the characters. It is also important to acknowledge that the
evolution into the type of film scoring that we are accustomed to today was not
a quick or easy transition. It has taken almost a century to develop the
specific techniques that are used in todays films. When the first moving
pictures were seen they were known as silent films, although they were not
