Download or read book Music Performance Meaning written by Nicholas Cook and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This selection of sixteen of Nicholas Cook's essays covers the period from 1987 to 2004 and brings out the development of the author's ideas over these years. In particular the two keywords of the title -Meaning and Performance- represent critical directions that expand to the point that, by the end of the book, they become coextensive: music is seen as social action and meaning as created by that action. Within this overall direction, a wide variety of topics is explored, ranging from Beethoven to Schenker, from Chinese qin music to jazz and rock, from perceptual psychology to sketch studies and analysis of record sleeves. A substantial introduction draws out the links (and differences) between the essays, sometimes critiquing them and always setting them into the developing context of the author's work as a whole.
Download or read book Schenker Studies written by Hedi Siegel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1990-02-23 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays contained in this volume provide a focus on the work of the music theorist Heinrich Schenker - a figure of legendary status who has had an incalculable influence on developments in music theory and analysis in this century. His theories, not always fully understood, have aroused some controversy. The broad spectrum of essays presented here will help clarify Schenker's ideas and their application and will also serve as a useful introduction to his work for music theorists. The essays, written by fourteen leading theorists, originate in papers delivered at the Schenker Symposium held at The Mannes College of Music, New York in 1985.

Download or read book Schenkerian Analysis Analyse nach Heinrich Schenker written by Oliver Schwab-Felisch and published by Georg Olms Verlag. This book was released on 2021 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dass Heinrich Schenker zu einem der meistdiskutierten Musiktheoretiker des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde, hat im Wesentlichen zwei Gründe: Erstens ermöglicht seine Theorie ebenso vielschichtige wie konsistente Beschreibungen der Stimmführung, Harmonik und Syntax tonaler Werke. Und zweitens fand Schenkers ?Schichtenlehre? in den USA, wohin die meisten Schüler Schenkers nach 1933 emigriert waren, ideale Bedingungen vor - Bedingungen, die sie rasch zur führenden Theorie tonaler Musik aufsteigen ließen. In Österreich, Deutschland und der Schweiz nahm die Schenker-Rezeption vorerst einen anderen Weg: Bis zur Jahrtausendwende blieb Schenkers Theorie Sache weniger Spezialisten. Seither aber stößt sie auch im deutschsprachigen Raum auf wachsendes Interesse. Der vorliegende deutsch-englische Sammelband trägt zur Schenker-Forschung beider Sprachräume und Wissenschaftskulturen bei. Er untersucht theoriegeschichtliche Fragen, beleuchtet unerforschte Aspekte der Schenker-Theorie und erschließt zahlreiche ihrer wissenschaftstheoretischen, rezeptionshistorischen und musikästhetischen Implikationen. Häufig geht er dabei über Schenker hinaus - durch neue Vorstellungen von Rhythmik und Metrik, Bezüge zur Systemtheorie Niklas Luhmanns oder pluralistische Theoriekonzepte. Der separate Notenband enthält analytische Graphiken ebenso wie originale Notentexte. Online abrufbare Hörbeispiele verdeutlichen, wie sich unterschiedliche analytische Interpretationen auf musikalische Aufführungen auswirken können. Glossar und Register schließlich erleichtern vertiefte Lektüren entlang gezielter Fragestellungen. Ein grundlegendes Studienbuch, das Musiktheoretiker:innen wie Interpret:innen zahlreiche Möglichkeiten aufzeigt, sich von Schenkers Denken anregen zu lassen.

Download or read book The Bloomsbury Handbook of Rock Music Research written by Allan Moore and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bloomsbury Handbook of Rock Music Research is the first comprehensive academic survey of the field of rock music as it stands today. More than 50 years into its life and we still ask - what is rock music, why is it studied, and how does it work, both as music and as cultural activity? This volume draws together 37 of the leading academics working on rock to provide answers to these questions and many more. The text is divided into four major sections: practice of rock (analysis, performance, and recording); theories; business of rock; and social and culture issues. Each chapter combines two approaches, providing a summary of current knowledge of the area concerned as well as the consequences of that research and suggesting profitable subsequent directions to take. This text investigates and presents the field at a level of depth worthy of something which has had such a pervasive influence on the lives of millions.
Download or read book The Art of Tonal Analysis written by Carl Schachter and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carl Schachter is the world's leading practitioner of Schenkerian theory and analysis. His articles and books have been broadly influential, and are seen by many as models of musical insight and lucid prose. Yet, perhaps his greatest impact has been felt in the classroom. At the Mannes College of Music, the Juilliard School of Music, Queens College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, and at special pedagogical events around the world, he has taught generations of musical performers, composers, historians, and theorists over the course of his long career. In Fall 2012, Schachter taught a doctoral seminar at the CUNY Graduate Center in which he talked about the music and the musical issues that have concerned him most deeply; the course was in essence a summation of his extensive and renowned teaching. In The Art of Tonal Analysis, winner of the Society for Music Theory's 2017 Citation of Special Merit, music theorist Joseph Straus presents edited transcripts of those lectures. Accompanied by abundant music examples, including analytical examples transcribed from the classroom blackboard, Straus's own visualizations of material that Schachter presented aurally at the piano, and Schachter's own extended Schenkerian graphs and sketches, this book offers a vivid account of Schachter's masterful pedagogy and his deep insight into the central works of the tonal canon. In making the lectures of one of the world's most extraordinary musicians and musical thinkers available to a wide audience, The Art of Tonal Analysis is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of music.

Download or read book Single Voice Transformations written by Brandon Derfler and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-08 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study demonstrates how smooth voice leading in music can be effectively modeled using concepts from abstract algebra. Minute voice-leading displacements are explained as iterations of the basic operation, the single-semitone transformation (SST). The SST is a type of transformation in which only a single voice in a chord is transposed by a semitone. Unlike previous music theoretic studies, the SST model does not rely on twelve-tone operations on sets to determine voice-leading paths. SST-succession classes can then be defined; they allow SSTs to be generalized as parsimonious voice-leading relations between pair-ordered set classes. Voice leading between chords of different “sizes” can be obtained through split and fuse operations. Once a mathematical basis for smooth voice-leading is formalized, 3D graphical representations in the form of lattices of parsimoniously related chord types can be developed. The study compares the single-voice transformational model to transformational theories of atonal voice leading and to recent work in the emergent field of neo-Riemannian theory. The final chapter examines music from tonal, atonal, and “post-atonal” stylistic periods by Chopin, Scriabin, Webern, Paul Lansky, and John Adams, showing the new voice-leading model’s versatility as an analytical tool.
Download or read book Schubert written by Julian Horton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection of essays in this volume offer an overview of Schubertian reception, interpretation and analysis. Part I surveys the issue of Schubert‘s alterity concentrating on his history and biography. Following on from the overarching dualities of Schubert explored in the first section, Part II focuses on interpretative strategies and hermeneutic positions. Part III assesses the diversity of theoretical approaches concerning Schubert‘s handling of harmony and tonality whereas the last two parts address the reception of his instrumental music and song. This volume highlights the complexity and diversity of Schubertian scholarship as well as the overarching concerns raised by discrete fields of research in this area.
