This is the first in a series tracing the history of film music from the silent years to the present. The current episode focuses on two contemporary composers who write for silent films to fill the need for the missing element — a soundtrack. Intertitles guided the story for audiences; the music of Robert Israel and Carl Davis further enhance our enjoyment of the masterpieces of silent cinema by adding great musical scores.
