Hal Leonard Corporation You Are Ketchup
Book SynopsisMusic artists, as perceived by the music industry, are akin to a condimentto be easily replicated, sold in high volume, and enjoyed by the masses.

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Music Composition in the 21st Century
Book SynopsisThe state of contemporary music is dizzyingly diverse in terms of style, media, traditions, and techniques. How have trends in music developed over the past decades? Music Composition in the 21st Century is a guide for composers and students that helps them navigate the often daunting complexity and abundance of resources and influences that confront them as they work to achieve a personal expression.From pop to classical, the book speaks to the creative ways that new composers mix and synthesize music, creating a music that exists along a more continuous spectrum rather than in a series of siloed practices. It pays special attention to a series of critical issues that have surfaced in recent years, including harmony, the influence of minimalism, the impact of technology, strategies of openness, sound art, collaboration, and improvisation. Robert Carl identifies an emerging common practice that allows creators to make more informed aesthetic and technical decisions and also fostTrade Review[A] recent, though-provoking, collection of essays ... * Gramophone *Robert Carl picks up the past century’s musical threads and weaves a rich tapestry by connecting them with the new trends impacting modern composition. His view of the cultural scene is essential for anyone hoping to understand 21st-century composition. * S. Andrew Granade, Professor of Musicology, University of Missouri-Kansas City, USA *With profound insight and sense of history, Carl’s Music Composition in the 21st Century examines all aspects of ‘new common practice’ of music composition. An intriguing book for anyone who cares for exploring music composition in our own time. * Ping Jin, Professor of Music, China Conservatory of Music, China *Robert Carl is one of those writers who is able to transcend both the pitfall of trying to be cool at the expense of being thorough, as well as the pitfall of trying to be academically airtight at the expense of being readable. Young American composers will want this book. * Joel Hoffman, Special Professor, China Conservatory of Music, Beijing, China, and Professor Emeritus, College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati, USA *Vital, personal, and as effortlessly informative as it is humorous, Robert Carl’s Music Composition in the 21st Century is chock full of compelling opinions and clear definitions. From serialism and indeterminacy to minimalism and new media, Carl knits together the common threads of music using vastly different materials, celebrating multiplicities as a “practice of openness.” As he so aptly summarizes the scene, ‘sophistication comes in many forms.’ With Carl deftly leading the way, the unsuspecting reader will find much of the 21st-century music he addresses not only survivable but heartening and heartwarming. So read this book to expand your taste and embolden your ears! * John McDonald, Composer and Pianist, Professor of Music Director of Graduate Music Studies, Tufts University, USA *Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements 1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Contexts for Music Learning and Participation:
Book SynopsisThis book sets out a contemporary perspective on music education, highlighting complex intersections between informal, non-formal and formal practices and contexts. At a time when the boundaries between music learning and participation are increasingly blurred, this volume is distinctive in challenging a ‘siloed’ approach to understanding the diverse international music education landscape. Instead, the book proposes a multi-layered continuum of practices that can be applied across a range of formal, informal or non-formal concepts to support the development of musical possible selves. It challenges existing conceptions of learning in music education in part by drawing on research in adult learning, but also by considering the contexts in which learning takes place, and the extent to which this learning can be classified as formal, informal or non-formal. Table of ContentsChapter 1. Introduction.- Chapter 2. Shaping musical possible selves in the Early Years.- Chapter 3. Emergent musical possible selves in primary school.- Chapter 4. Secondary schools and their role to play in musical possible selves.- Chapter 5. The role of further and higher education in shaping musical possible selves.- Chapter 6. Musical possible selves in extra-curricular ensembles and instrumental and vocal tuition.- Chapter 7. Lifelong musical possible selves: Adult music learning and participation.- Chapter 8. Supporting musical possible selves in programmes with social aims.- Chapter 9. The emergence of musical possible selves through musical learning in the home.- Chapter 10.
