Hey there volunteers! We hope you’re staying cool out there - the heat in D.C. is brutal this week.
One way to beat the heat is to check out the dozen or so Silent Film Music Cue Sheets we just re-uploaded for transcription: By the People Silent Film Music Cue Sheets . We missed 38 pages in our original launch, so if you didn’t get a chance to contribute to this unique campaign, now’s your chance!
Cue sheets provided suggestions to film accompanists for live music before the development of the sound film - “talkies” - by the end of the 1920s. This collection includes cue sheets for action, horror, romance, drama, mystery, western, and comedy films ranging from the early 1910s to the late 1920s.
