Works by composers like Bach and Mozart fill the soundtracks of games ranging from arcade classics, to indie titles, to major franchises like \u003cem\u003eBioShock, Civilization\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eFallout\u003c\/em\u003e. Children can learn about classical works and their histories from interactive iPad games. World-renowned classical orchestras frequently perform concerts of game music to sold-out audiences. But what do such combinations of art and entertainment reveal about the cultural value we place on these media? Can classical music ever be video game music, and can game music ever be classical? Delving into the shifting and often contradictory cultural definitions that emerge when classical music meets video games, \u003cem\u003eUnlimited Replays\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new perspective on the possibilities and challenges of trying to distinguish between art and pop culture in contemporary society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Gibbons\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Musicology at Texas Christian University, where he is also Associate Dean of the College of Fine Arts.
