Heather Laing holds a Ph.D. in Film and Television Studies from the University of Warwick. She has taught at the University of Warwick and Southampton Institute of Higher Education and is currently a freelance researcher and writer on film music and film studies.
In 1997, Gabriel Yared won an Academy Award for the original
dramatic music score he wrote for The English Patient. In this
study, Laing critically examines the score and discusses its
narrative function within the film. Yared's musical background and
his film composition technique are also explored. Laing is a
freelance researcher and writer specializing in film music and film
studies. This is the first paperback edition of a work originally
published in 2004.

The origination of the material is well thought out and is
accomplished in such a way that even those unfamiliar with academic
explorations will find the discussion interesting and
informative...recommended for its general analysis of the film.
