RESUMO

This research had for purpose to perform an analytical study of the music by composer Thomas Newman and its interaction to filmic narrative. The general principles of music utilization as part of the audiovisual composition were approached. Such principles, in part, were consolidated by the Hollywood tradition. Some theoretical considerations were made, based in texts by authors such as Eisenstein, Claudia Gorbman, Michel Chion, Eisler/Adorno and Roy Prendergast, among others. The study was accomplished from three collaborations of the composer in cinematographic works, taking into account aspects as harmony, melody, rhythm, timbre and form. From the analyzed material a few stylistic characteristics of the composer were pointed out and the results of the interaction between his music and the studied films were evaluated. The work also included synopsis of the approached productions besides the reduced transcriptions of the themes composed by Thomas Newman with the respective analysis within each particular context.
