Download or read book Music in the Words Musical Form and Counterpoint in the Twentieth Century Novel written by Alan Shockley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a strong tradition of literary analyses of the musical artwork. Simply put, all musicology - any writing about music - is an attempt at making analogies between what happens within the world of sound and language itself. This study considers this analogy from the opposite perspective: authors attempting to structure words using musical forms and techniques. It's a viewpoint much more rarely explored, and none of the extant studies of novelists' musical techniques have been done by musicians. Can a novel follow the form of a symphony and still succeed as a novel? Can musical counterpoint be mimicked by words on a page? Alan Shockley begins looking for answers by examining music's appeal for novelists, and then explores two brief works, a prose fugue by Douglas Hofstadter, and a short story by Anthony Burgess modeled after a Mozart symphony. Analyses of three large, emblematic attempts at musical writing follow. The much debated 'Sirens' episode of James Joyce's Ulysses, which the author famously likened to a fugue, Burgess' largely ignored Napoleon Symphony: A Novel in Four Movements, patterned on Beethoven's Eroica, and Joyce's Finnegans Wake, which Shockley examines as an attempt at composing a fully musicalized language. After these three larger analyses, Shockley discusses two quite recent brief novels, William Gaddis' novella Agap?gape and David Markson's This is not a novel, proposing that each of these confounding texts coheres elegantly when viewed as a musically-structured work. From the perspective of a composer, Shockley offers the reader fresh tools for approaching these dense and often daunting texts.

And laughter of virgins; I blew the light, And followed her, heedless of the ending, Into the carnival of that night. Make haste, beloved! the night passes, The day breaks, the cock crows, Mist slinks away in the sunlight, And the thin blood drips from the rose. Black stallions rushed us through the air, Their hooves upon the wind struck fire; Rivers, and hills, and a moonlit spire Glided beneath us, and then a flare Of gusty torches beckoned us down To a palace-gate in a darkened town. She took my hand and led me in Through walls of basalt and walls of jade, And I wondered, to hear a violin Sweetly within that marble played. I heard it sing, a wandering tone, Imprisoned forever in that deep stone. And then upon a coach we lay. And heard invisible spirits play A ghostly music; the candles muttered, Rose-leaves trembled upon the floor, Lay still, or rose on the air and fluttered; And while the moon went dwindling down Poisoning with black web the skies, She narrowed her eyelids, and fixed her eyes, Fiercely upon me; and searched me so With speeding fire in every shred That I, consumed with a witching glow, Knew scarcely if I were alive or dead: But lay upon her breast, and kissed The deep red mouth, and drank the breath, And heard it gasping, how it hissed To mimic the ecstasy of death. Above us in a censer burning Was dust of lotos-flowers, and there Ghosts of smoke were ever turning, And gliding along the sleepy air, And reaching hands, and showing faces, Or coiling slowly like blue snakes, To charm us moveless in our places... But then she softly raised her head And smiled through brooding eyes, and said 'O lover, I have seen you twice. You changed my veins to veins of ice. The first time, it was Easter Eve, --By the church door you..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sherrill Grace shows how Malcolm Lowry's theme of a cyclical pattern of initiation, repeated ordeals with failure and retreat, followed by success and development, which in turn gave way to fresh defeat, influenced the structure, narrative style, and the symbolic pattern in his writing. The author also includes an appendix in which she examines the elements of Conrad Aiken's fiction and prose that had a significant impact on Lowry's work.
