Analysing Musical Multimedia is the first study to produce a general theory of how different media - music, words, moving picture, and dance - work together to create multimedia. Beginning with a study of how meaning is mediated in television commercials, Nicholas Cook concludes with in-depth readings of Fantasia, Madonna's video Material Girl, and Armide (Godard's sequence from the collaborative film Aria).
