Finding Film and Television Music Recordings
One of the collecting strengths of the Music Library and Bill Schurk Sound Archives is film and television soundtracks. There are thousands in our collection and they cover a diversity of topics, like children's television shows, Hollywood blockbusters, and foreign cinema.
The following are a few examples of subject headings related to film music which you may find useful.

If you're looking for soundtracks from a specific film genre (Westerns, horror films, fantasy film, etc.), search those specific terms either as a keyword search or a subject search, with your results limited to the music library.
Searches for film composers or the titles of movies or television shows will yield additional results.
