This thesis explores the musical development of the major themes in Max Steiner's score for Gone with the Wind. One of the most revered composers of Hollywood's Golden Age, Steiner scored David O. Selznick's epic Civil War drama in 12 short weeks with a collaborative team composing in the Steiner style. Steiner relied on his European post-Romantic compositional training, as well as his Broadway arranging and conducting experience, to craft an expressive, expansive score for what would become one of the most successful films of all time. This study analyzes the borrowed and original material of Steiner's score by highlighting the compositional techniques that make it effective, and viewing it through a historical lens. By incorporating recognizable patriotic songs, Stephen Foster melodies, and original leitmotifs for the principal characters and their relationships, Steiner emphasizes the narrative tone, conveys the regional setting and historical time, and accentuates the film's dramatic themes of nostalgia and survival. He achieves this primarily through repetition of character leitmotifs, distinguishable melodic construction, and expressive instrumentation. Steiner's arsenal of musical tactics are effectively put to use in eliciting empathy from audiences of Gone with the Wind across generations, especially its first audiences in the Great Depression era at the dawn of World War II. In particular, Steiner's inspirational theme for the Tara plantation elicited the nostalgia and message of survival those audiences needed to hear.
