Music Scenes: Local, Translocal, and Virtual

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWhile more than 80 percent of the world?s commercial music is controlled by four multinational firms, most music is made and enjoyed in diverse situations divorced from such corporate behemoths. These fourteen original essays examinethe fascinating world of `music scenes,` those largely inconspicuous sites where clusters of musicians, producers, and fans explore their common musical tastes and distinctive lifestyle choices. Although most music scenes come and go with hardly a trace, they nevertheless give immense satisfaction to their participants, and a few?New York bop jazz, Merseybeat, Memphis rockabilly, London punk, Bronx hip-hop?achieve fame and spur musical innovations. To date, serious study of the scenes phenomenon has focused mainly on specific music scenes while paying less attention to recurrent dynamics of scene life, such as how individuals construct and negotiate scenes to the various activities. This volume remedies that neglect. … [detailed...]

Music Through the Floor : Stories

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Lost, teetering on the edge of normalcy, Puchner`s characters seek to define themselves in a frequently absurd and hostile world -- a world that threatens to make outcasts of us all. Caught up in loneliness or solitude, they can`t quite hear the music of their own lives. In `Children of God,` a young loner becomes the caretaker and companion for two mentally retarded men, seeking solace in their outsider status. `Essay #3: Leda and the Swan` is told in the forlorn, be-nighted, and tragically funny voice of a high school girl who longs more than anything to be loved. In `Mission,` an idealistic ESL teacher is faced with the inscrutable wrath of one of his immigrant students. And in the unsettling `Child`s Play,` Puchner explores the price of nonconformity by following a pack of boys wreaking havoc on Halloween. [detailed...]

Music and Conflict Transformation: Harmonies and Dissonances in Geopolitics

2008 y.
Publisher: I. B. Tauris
Description: How far can the relationship between music and politics be used to promote a more peaceful world? That is the central question which motivates this challenging new work.

Music and Copyright: The Case of Delius and His Publishers

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate
Description: Delius was born in 1862, twenty-four years before the signing in 1886 of the Berne Convention, the international convention for the protection of literary and artistic works of which Great Britain was a founder member. During Delius` lifetime came the birth of the record industry, the development of exercising the performing right, the introduction of the mechanical right and the advent of films and broadcasting. Robert Montgomery and Robert Threlfall chronicle Delius` dealings with his publishers and the Performing Right Society (PRS) through his numerous correspondence. Virtually all of the very early letters have been lost, but his correspondence in German with Harmonie Verlag of Berlin, Tischer &, Jagenberg of Cologne and `Universal Edition of Vienna` is almost complete. This book provides a selection of translations of these letters, most of which have never been seen before, and offers a unique insight into how a leading twentieth-century composer earned his living from… [detailed...]

Music and Orientalism in the British Empire, 1780-1940s

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate Pub Co
Description: Filling a significant gap in current scholarship, the fourteen original essays that make up this volume, individually and collectively reflect on the relationship between music and Orientalism in the British Empire over the course of the long nineteenth century. The book is in four themed sections: `Portrayal of the East` traces the routes from encounter to representation and restores the Orient to its rightful place in histories of Orientalism, `Interpreting Concert Music` looks at one of the principal forms in which Orientalism could be brought to an eager and largely receptive - yet sometimes resistant - mass market, `Words and Music` investigates the confluence of musical and Orientalist themes in different genres of writing, including criticism, fiction and travel writing, and, `The Orientalist Stage` discusses crucial sites of Orientalist representation - music, theatre and opera - as well as tracing similar phenomena in twentieth-century Hindi cinema. These final chapters… [detailed...]

Amnon Shiloah
Music and its Virtues in Islamic and Judaic Writings

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing
Description: A fascinating aspect of the study of music in medieval Islamic and Judaic writings is the broad and interdisciplinary nature of the works and treatises in which it is covered. In addition, such works verbalize an art that was transmitted orally and took shape spontaneously, typically with improvisation during performance. As a result of this outlook the musical concept (or science) is often intertwined with practice (or history). This second collection by Amnon Shiloah brings together twenty-two items, exemplifying such multi-faceted viewpoints on the world of sounds and its virtue. The first studies concern the origin and originators of music and to how its essential constituents came into being, included here is the art of dance along with the controversial attitudes towards it. Next comes the symbolic, philosophical and metaphorical interpretation of music, one of the major ideas epitomizing this approach claimed that the pursuit of knowledge is the path to human perfection and… [detailed...]

Vladimir Jankelevitch
Music and the Ineffable

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Vladimir Jankelevitch left behind a remarkable oeuvre steeped as much in philosophy as in music. His writings on moral quandaries reflect a lifelong devotion to music and performance, and, as a counterpoint, he wrote on music aesthetics and on modernist composers such as Faure, Debussy, and Ravel. Music and the Ineffable brings together these two threads, the philosophical and the musical, as an extraordinary quintessence of his thought. Jankelevitch deals with classical issues in the philosophy of music, including metaphysics and ontology. These are a point of departure for a sustained examination and dismantling of the idea of musical hermeneutics in its conventional sense. Music, Jankelevitch argues, is not a hieroglyph, not a language or sign system, nor does it express emotions, depict landscapes or cultures, or narrate. On the other hand, music cannot be imprisoned within the icy, morbid notion of… [detailed...]

Edward W. Said
Music at the Limits

2007 y.
Publisher: Columbia University Press
Description: `Music at the Limits` is the first book to bring together three decades of Edward W.Said`s essays and articles on music. Addressing the work of a variety of composers, musicians, and performers, Said carefully draws out music`s social, political, and cultural contexts and, as a classically trained pianist, provides rich and often surprising assessments of classical music and opera. `Music at the Limits` offers both a fresh perspective on canonical pieces and a celebration of neglected works by contemporary composers. Said faults the Metropolitan Opera in New York for being too conservative and laments the way in which opera superstars like Pavarotti have `reduced opera performance to a minimum of intelligence and a maximum of overproduced noise`. He also reflects on the censorship of Wagner in Israel, the worrisome trend of proliferating music festivals, an opera based on the life of Malcolm X, the relationship between music and feminism, the pianist Glenn Gould, and the works… [detailed...]
