Download or read book Material Cultures of Music Notation written by Taylor & Francis Group and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Material Cultures of Music Notation brings together a collection of essays that explore an essential question in the current landscape of musicology: how can writing and reading music be understood as concrete, material practices in a wider cultural context? Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches from musicology, media studies, performance studies, and more, the chapters in this volume offer a wide array of new perspectives that center the materiality of music notation. From digital scores to the transmission of manuscripts in the Middle Ages, the volume deliberately disrupts boundaries of discipline, historical period, genre, and tradition, by approaching notation's materiality through four key interrelated themes: knowledge, the body, identity, and technology. Together, the chapters capture vital new work in an essential emerging area of scholarship.
