Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music research has entered something of a Golden Age. Technological advances and scholarly inquiry have merged in interdisciplinary studies--drawing on psychology, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, anthropology and other fields--that illuminate the musical nature of our species. This volume develops, supports and challenges that body of research, examining key issues in the field, such as the difficulty of writing about music, the formation of musical preferences, the emotional impact of musical sounds, the comparison of music and language, the impulse for making music and the connection between music and spirituality.

Download or read book Listen written by Peter Szendy and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enlightening exploration of the concept of listening and the evolving role of the listener from Beethoven to Charlie Parker to contemporary remixing. In this intimate meditation on listening, Peter Szendy examines what the role of the listener is, and has been, through the centuries. The roles of the composer and the musician are clear, but where exactly does the listener stand in relation to music? What is the responsibility of the listener? Does a listener have any rights, as the author and composer have copyright? Is it possible to convey to others how we ourselves listen to music? Though personal memory and intellectual history, Szendy takes readers on a fascinating and ear-opening journey to answer these questions. Along the way, he examines the evolution of copyright laws as applied to musical works and takes us into the courtroom to examine different debates on what we are and aren’t allowed to listen to, and to witness the fine line between musical borrowing and outright plagiarism. Finally, he examines the recent phenomenon of DJs and digital compilations, and wonders how technology has affected our listening habits.

Download or read book Jazz a Listener s Guide written by James McCalla and published by Pearson. This book was released on 2000 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a study of jazz from its roots through the beginning of free jazz and jazz-rock fusion to the trends of the present day, including the new swing revival. Emphasizing listening skills, this volume is written in a clear, personal, informal style, and requires no prior knowledge or experience in music. The author introduces musical terms and concepts as needed, and always in connection with specific recordings and jazz artists. His principal focus is to guide the beginning listener's ear rather than stress the rote memorization of names, styles, periods, titles, dates, and other facts. The book focuses on listening to specific performers and recordings and makes access to recordings easier and less expensive by using virtually all the selections from the Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz. The rest of the almost 200 selections discussed in the book come from other Smithsonian anthologies or from widely available classic jazz performances. In addition to these specific discussions, the book follows a historical organization by offering a brief orientation to each of the five main sections as background to understanding the music of that period. Third edition highlights: Includes additional material covering musical styles of the last decade of jazz's first century; features broader coverage of many artists included in earlier editions; deals with recent trends, including discussions of Wynton Marsalis, the Mingus Big Band, the new swing revival and the Brian Setzer Orchestra, and a brief discussion of jazz on film.
