Lexington Books Andreas Werckmeisters Musicalische
Book SynopsisAndreas Werckmeister (1645 1706), a late seventeenth-century German Lutheran organist, composer, and music theorist, is the last great advocate and defender of the Great Tradition in music, with its assumptions that music is a divine gift to humanity, spiritually charged yet rationally accessible, the key being a complex of mathematical proportions which govern and are at the root of the entire universe and all which that embraces. Thus understood, music is the audible manifestation of the order of the universe, allowing glimpses, sound-bites of the very Creator of a well-tempered universe, and of our relationship to each other, our environment, and the divine powers which placed us here. This is the subject matter of the conversation which Werckmeister wishes to have with us, his readers, particularly in his last treatise, the Musicalische Paradoxal-Discourse. But he does not make it easy for today's readers. He assumes certain proficiencies from his readers, including detailed bibliTrade ReviewIn his last writing, Musicalische Paradoxal-Discourse (1707), Andreas Werckmeister, one of the great minds of musical aesthetics and theory, confronts a series of paradoxes at the interfaces between faith and reason, mind and body, speculation and experience. The author, himself, presents us, today, with a further paradox: he was one the last exponents of an ancient cosmological understanding of music—a number-based conception in the tradition of Pythagoras and Plato—yet he was also one of the first to advocate for major-minor tonality, equal temperament, and a notation system that would treat each of the twelve pitch classes and all enharmonically equivalent intervals in a like manner. Dietrich Bartel’s translation renders Werckmeister’s notoriously difficult and often obscure German in clear and precise English, making it truly accessible to an international readership for the first time. Bartel’s magisterial introduction places this publication an illuminating context, and traces, with precision and nuance, the evolution of Werckmeister’s thinking about temperament. -- John Walter Hill, professor emeritus, University of Illinois, Urbana-ChampaignTable of ContentsTable of Contents Series Editor’s Foreword Preface Part I Introduction to the Musicalische Paradoxal-Discourse Werckmeister Biography Werckmeister Treatises Contents and Sources of the Musicalische Paradoxal-Discourse Part II Translation of the Musicalische Paradoxal-Discourse Title page and dedicatory comments Preface Index and contents of the chapters Chapter 1 An introduction to this work: the division of the musical proportions Chapter 2 A testimonial through mathematics and Holy Scriptures themselves, that the course of the heavens are harmonic Chapter 3 How the mortal body and soul are harmonically created, and furthermore, on the influence of the stars Chapter 4 Why humans find such pleasure in music, and whence composers and musicians arise Chapter 5 As the image of God, humans are to praise the Creator with music.

Poetic Pastel Press Petit Oiseau: JATINDER SINGH DURHAILAY & SUREN
Book SynopsisEdited by Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck, designed by 75W Studio. Including an essay by Harr-Joht Kaur Takhar and the participation of Sarah Gissinger. Published by Poetic Pastel Press. Limited edition of 500 copies, including a CD. Packed in biodegradable clear cases. Sounds are swollen, expanded and layered, steadily unfolding through time. However, these smooth resonances are also disrupted through Jatinder's attempts to imitate the synthesiser by plucking the smaller strings of the dilruba. Though an unusual method to adopt, plucking demonstrates Jatinder's concern to create intimate dialogues between both instruments. This is also matched by Suren, who at points attempts to mimic the dilruba using the synthesiser's palette. Such exchanges, occurring at a sonic level, are made visible in this publication through measured textual and visual offerings. The choice to accompany their debut album with a design-led publication highlights how Petit Oiseau isn't merely a musical project, but an artistic one too. Harr-Joht Kaur Takhar After their 2012 inaugural performance at Tate Modern The Tanks, the duo Jatinder Singh Durhailay and Suren Seneviratne returns to its fruitful collaboration with a new experimental and sonic musical endeavour titled Petit Oiseau. The duo has in 2019 performed in venues including the V&A Museum and The Design Museum London. The project brings together rare classical Indian string instruments played by Durhailay known as the Dilruba and the Taus, unusually combined with Seneviratne's interests in alternate tunings and numerology through custom patches built on a E- MU Command Station digital synthesiser. Printed in the United Kingdom in October 2019.

GIA Publications The Transposed Musician: Teaching Universal
Book SynopsisMusic teachers know their students don’t just learn to play music; they are also exposed to universal life skills along the way. But that’s just part of the story. Currently, most students are largely left to learn these universal skills—like problem-solving, patience, focus, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and communication—on their own and often not very effectively. The Transposed Musician not only empowers students to better confront the challenges of the twenty-first century, they will also significantly improve musicianship—a double benefit. Author Dylan Savage spent two decades refining his approach to teaching universal skills through music, and he shares them in this book. Each of the eight chapters of The Transposed Musician focuses on a specific universal skill and shows how students can apply that skill to music. He then shows how teachers can guide those students to “transpose” that skill to life and back again to music with far deeper understanding and musicianship. With practical examples and clear writing, this book is for music educators wishing to help their students become both better musicians and also better-equipped citizens of the world. Students truly become “transposed musicians” for life and for music.

Book SynopsisMusic and sound shape the emotional content of audio-visual media and carry different meanings. This volume considers audio-visual material as a primary source for historiography. By analyzing how the same sounds are used in different media contexts at different times, the contributors intend to challenge the linear perspective of (music) history based on canonic authority. The book discusses AV-Documents (analysis in context), methodological questions (implications for research, education, and popularization of knowledge), archives of cultural memory (from the perspective of Cultural Studies) as well as digitalization and its consequences (organization of knowledge).

Transcript Verlag Hearing Sexism: Gender in the Sound of Popular
Book SynopsisIf pictures can be sexist, can analysing sound reveal sexism, too? Where is the language to discuss sexism in music? L.J. Müller tackles these important questions in their 2018 German book titled Sound und Sexismus, which was awarded the IASPM 2019 book prize. Analysing the voices of Kurt Cobain, Kate Bush, Björk and others, Müller demonstrates how gender is performed vocally and interacts with gendered aspects of embodiment and affect. The book is written from a strongly positioned and personal feminist perspective and is appealing to readers from various backgrounds -- singers, producers, music lovers, as well as academics and anyone with an interest in feminist takes on pop culture.

Book SynopsisCan sound be perceived independently of its social dimension? Or is it always embedded in a discursive network?

The contributors have collected sound stories and sound knowledge from Brazil to Morocco, listened to resonances from the Underground and the Pacific Ocean, from Popular Music and speech recognition.

Oxford University Press Kodály Today A Cognitive Approach to Elementary Music Education Revised Kodaly Today Handbook Series
Book SynopsisIn this new edition of their groundbreaking Kodály Today, Mícheál Houlahan and Philip Tacka offer an expertly-researched, thorough, and -- most importantly -- practical approach to transforming curriculum goals into tangible, achievable musical objectives and effective lesson plans.Trade ReviewKodály Today is essential reading for music teachers seeking an approach that will provide their students with lifelong musical literacy and musicianship, while nurturing their love for music. This book offers a powerful, layered approach to the developmentally appropriate teaching of music by presenting the Kodály method in a way that is usable and understandable by music teachers. Houlahan and Tacka render Kodály more relevant than ever by presenting vivid practical models for classroom teachers supported by research on cognition and learning. Teachers of music and the university professors who prepare them for their craft should find this book extremely valuable. * Eileen M. Coppola, Center for Education, Rice University *An extremely valuable source for elementary music instructors, pre-service teachers, and methods teachers at the collegiate level. To say that Kodály Today is a thorough text would be an understatement. There are few Kodály-based resources that provide such a thorough overview of the philosophy behind the approach, a conceptual frame-work for teachers wishing to apply this philosophy, and detailed strategies for repertoire selection, curriculum development, and implementation. * General Music Today *The authors have developed a text that incorporates appropriate musical material and sound teaching strategies for presenting this material to students. Grade level goals, objectives, and strategies are outlined in great detail, and these materials would prove extremely valuable to a music teacher. I also appreciate the inclusion of learning theorists from the education community at large. All in all, this is a very practical text. * Brent M. Gault, Ph. D., Indiana University Jacobs School of Music *Kodály music training has shown that most if not all children entering elementary school can begin to learn immediately how to sing musically and with developing skill. Research is showing that such musical training can also stimulate and contribute to broader cognitive and emotional growth. This important detailed, scholarly and thoughtful examination and presentation of Kodály method now proposes further development to align with recent work in music pedagogy and cognitive learning. * Martin F. Gardiner, Center for the Study of Human Development, Brown University *A mammoth undertaking and a welcome addition to the body of literature on the Kodály concept of music education...This is a book worthy of thorough study and use as a text...A valuable teaching resource that is highly recommended! * Laurdella Foulkes-Levy, Kodály Envoy *This is an extremely comprehensive and exhaustive text which fills a gap in the current Kodály music teaching literature. It has enough information for an experienced teacher to improve their teaching and rethink their current teaching practices but at the same time manages to give the basic and necessary elementary knowledge a beginning Kodály teacher would need in their first venture into this type of music teaching. The relevance of the research undertaken by Houlahan and Tacka and the linking to current educational requirements and standards helps to bring this exceedingly valuable and successful method of music teaching into the 21st century. * Australian Journal of Music Education *This thorough, intensive and above all, elegantly practical approach to understanding and applying [the Kodály method's] tried-and-tested tenets will prove a boon to teachers and students alike...A clearly-signposted volume that succeeds in validating the self-enabling claims of Kodály's Method as an essential tool for teachers and their pupils. The inclusion of 140 pages of exhaustively detailed song lists and lesson and monthly plans is a reason in itself to buy this invaluable book. * Music Teacher *Table of ContentsIntroduction ; Chapter one: Building the Framework of a Music Curriculum Based on the Kodaly Concept ; Chapter two: Developing a Music Repertoire of Songs For The Elementary Music Classroom ; Chapter Three: Developing Creative Expression In The Elementary Classroom Through Singing Movement and ; Chapter Four, Teaching Tools and Techniques for Developing Audiation and Music Literacy Skills ; Chapter five: From Sound to Symbol: A Model of Learning and Instruction for Teaching Music Concepts and ; Chapter six: Grade One Through Five Teaching Strategies for Rhythmic and Melodic Concepts and Elements ; Chapter seven: Developing Musicianship Skills in the Classroom ; Chapter eight: Technology in the Kodaly Classroom ; Chapter nine: Applying the Kodaly Concept to the Elementary Choir ; Chapter ten: Sequencing and Lesson Planning ; Chapter eleven: Teaching Musicianship Skills Starting in the Upper Grades ; Chapter twelve: Evaluation and Assessment ; Chapter thirteen: Organizing Your Teaching Resources for Elementary Classroom

Oxford University Press Inc In the Process of Becoming Analytic and Philosophical Perspectives on Form in Early NineteenthCentury Music Oxford Studies in Music Theory
Book SynopsisWith their insistence that form is a dialectical process in the music of Beethoven, Theodor Adorno and Carl Dahlhaus emerge as the guardians of a long-standing critical tradition in which Hegelian concepts have been brought to bear on the question of musical form. Janet Schmalfeldt''s ground-breaking account of the development of this Beethoven-Hegelian tradition restores to the term form some of its philosophical associations in the early nineteenth century, when profound cultural changes were yielding new relationships between composers and their listeners, and when music itself-in particular, instrumental music-became a topic for renewed philosophical investigation. Precedents for Adorno''s and Dahlhaus''s concept of form as process arise in the Athenäum Fragments of Friedrich Schlegel and in the Encyclopaedia Logic of Hegel. The metaphor common to all these sources is the notion of becoming; it is the idea of form coming into being that this study explores in respect to music by BeTrade ReviewWinner of the Wallace Berry Award, Society for Music Theory Winner, ASCAP Deems Taylor AwardIt is hard to imagine a more generously inclusive approach to the various doings of composers, performers, analysts, and music-minded philosophers. Vivid strands of modern musical thought are brilliantly reflected and refracted throughout Janet Schmalfeldt's much awaited book. Upon reaching her moving final chapter, we realize that In the Process of Becoming has from the outset enacted a gratifying homecoming for both its subjects and its readers."-Scott Burnham, Princeton UniversityWhat stands out for me in reading Janet Schmalfeldt's In the Process of Becoming is the pleasure of experiencing canonic piece after canonic piece through the exceptionally insightful and musical mind of a seasoned musician - one who has lived with, pondered, taught, and in many cases, played these pieces for years."-Patrick McCreless, Yale UniversityWill make for a rewarding study, and one that brings us into intimate contact with the many wonders of nineteenth-century musical form and its expressive powers. * Society of Music Theory *Schmalfeldt's book is a glorious example of how to write animated analytical prose...the range of topics throughout the book is a profound statement about how early nineteenth-century music continues to ignite far-reaching questions in music theory. * Music Theory Spectrum *Table of ContentsPreface Chapter 1 Introduction: The Idea of Musical Form as Process Chapter 2 The Beethoven-Hegelian Tradition and the "Tempest" Sonata - Formation of the Tradition - Dahlhaus and the "Tempest" Sonata - Post-Dahlhausian Critiques - The question of a secondary theme - Introduction or main theme - ST2 and the final cadence of the exposition Chapter 3 The Processual Legacy of the Late Eighteenth Century - Haydn-String Quartet in C Major, Op. 33, No. 3 (Hob.

Oxford University Press Critical Nexus ToneSystem Mode and Notation in Early Medieval Music AMS Studies in Music
Book SynopsisThrough a detailed examination of the major musical treatises from the sixth through the twelfth centuries, this text establishes a central dichotomy between classical harmonic theory and the practices of the Christian church.Trade ReviewThe Critical Nexus is a milestone in every respect, which appeals to specialists and novices alike. It deserves to be ranked among the classic studies on the subject and will be of lasting value to anybody interested in the formation of music thought in the Middle Ages. * Fontes Artis Musicae *The Critical Nexus will become required reading for musicologists, music theorists, and medievalists interested in the reception of ancient texts. * Speculum *A meticulously researched survey of early medieval theory and its application to plainsong, it will form the starting point for future research in the field. * James Grier, Professor of Music History, University of Western Ontario *A comprehensive study, fine-tuning our understanding of the challenges faced by medieval theorists as they adopted terminology and concepts from Antiquity to make sense of the music of their own time - the chant repertory of the Christian church. Professor Atkinson brings a unique perspective to this history of tone-system, mode, and notation through his command of Greek and Latin text sources, combined with his forage into the chant repertory itself. The scholarly community will prize this contribution for years to come. * Dolores Pesce, Professor of Music, Washington University in St. Louis *In this meticulous examination of the texts on music that were the most widely read from the ninth to the eleventh century, Charles Atkinson reveals how medieval theorist musicians reinterpreted the tone systems of ancient Greece and the writings of Latin grammarians to explain and notate the new practice of plainchant. His elegant and remarkably lucid argument is the crowning achievement of decades of scholarship: it not only explains early medieval tonality but resolves the longstanding problem of the derivation of the earliest Carolingian notations. It truly transforms our understanding of medieval music. Every musician and medievalist will benefit from reading it. * Barbara Haggh-Huglo, Professor of Music, University of Maryland, College Park *This important book is of a kind to stimulate one's thoughts about the inherent nature of medieval chant and to provoke discussions about contested issues; above all, however, it presents in al its wealth of detail the evidence for the remarkable story of the earliest developments in the history of Western art music. * Music & Letters *All readers, regardless of their level of specialization, will find their understanding both broadened and deepened. To be sure, this is a work that merits to become a classic, that deserves to be read and reread, studied and discussed among students and scholars time and again, and is therefore highly recommended to all musicologists and libraries. * Notes *Table of ContentsNote on Abbreviations and Nomenclature for Ptich ; Prologue ; 1.

Oxford University Press Fantasies of Improvisation Free Playing in NineteenthCentury Music
Book SynopsisThe first history of keyboard improvisation in European music from the time of Beethoven through the later nineteenth century, Dana Gooley's Free Play: Fantasies of Improvisation in Nineteenth-Century Music describes the motives, intentions, and musical styles of the nineteenth century's leading improvisers, and traces the evolution of the performance practice into a glorified ideal.Trade ReviewThis is an extremely interesting book on a topic that has not received as much attention as it deserves ... Highly recommended. * W. E. Grim, CHOICE *Classical improvisation is making a comeback, and in timely fashion we can now read its remarkable history. Prof. Gooley has discovered lively contemporary accounts of pianists performing free fantasies on stage for the masses, in salons for elites, and in private for personal inspiration. The big names are all there - Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Mendelssohn - as are dozens of names less well known but hailed as great improvisors in their own day. Through diaries, reviews, letters, and biographies we can gauge the thoughts of both sides of what were by all accounts emotionally powerful interactions between musicians and their audiences. * Robert O. Gjerdingen, Northwestern University *Gooley's fascinating book sheds new light on the musical nineteenth century, illuminating unwritten histories of improvisation at the keyboard. By focusing on the contemporaneous renown of currently neglected figures such as Vogler, Hummel, Moscheles, and Loewe, Fantasies of Improvisation provides a richly textured account of how extemporization flourished and withered. Beyond that, Gooley elucidates the complex conversion of improvisation into discursive, rhetorical, pedagogical, and ethical terms. As a result, the book not only restores an element of the unexpected to over-determined historical narratives, but also suggests how the scores of Schumann and Liszt might be played and heard afresh. * Roger Moseley, author of Keys to Play: Music as a Ludic Medium from Apollo to Nintendo *Table of ContentsPrelude: The Virtue of Improvisation Chapter 1: The School of Abbé Vogler: Weber and Meyerbeer Chapter 2: The Kapellmeister Network and the Performance of Community: Hummel, Moscheles, and Mendelssohn Chapter 3: Carl Loewe's Performative Romanticism Chapter 4: Schumann and the Economization of Musical Labor Chapter 5: Liszt and the Romantic Rhetoric of Improvisation Chapter 6: Improvisatoriness: The Regime of the Improvisation Imaginary Postlude: Improvisation and Utopia

Oxford University Press The Guitar Workbook
Book SynopsisIncreasingly, guitar study is offered alongside band, orchestra, and chorus in school music programs. This development has drawn a new population of students into those programs but has left music educators scrambling to developing meaningful, sequential courses of study that both meet the needs of these new students and align with state, county, and national curricula. Few available guitar methods are designed with the classroom in mind, and fewer still take a holistic approach to teaching and learning the instrument. In short, teachers are left to navigate a vast array of method books that cover a variety of styles and approaches, often without the confidence and experience necessary to know ''what to teach when.'' The Guitar Workbook: A Fresh Approach to Exploration and Mastery addresses the needs of these educators. Throughout the book''s 20 lessons, students are encouraged to explore the ways various guitar styles and notation systems differ, as well as the ways they support and cTrade Review"The Guitar Workbook: A Fresh Approach to Exploration and Mastery is a unique and useful resource.

Oxford University Press Music and Belonging Between Revolution and Restoration Critical Conjunctures in Music and Sound
Book SynopsisHow is music implicated in the politics of belonging? Provocatively fusing recent European philosophy with music theory, Music and Belonging explores the instrumental music of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, reveals connections between listening and constructions of community, and testifies to Classical music's enduring political significance in an age of neoliberal exclusion.Trade ReviewWaltham-Smith's ingenious analysis opens up productive conversations between unlikely interlocutors (Deleuze and Caplin, Nietzsche and Mozart), prompting us to contend anew with what each can offer to our understanding of music and its value. And her insights into the musical creativity of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven offer a novel way to engage with the enduring value of this repertory, and the real possibility of hearing this music with a new ear. * Beth M. Snyder, Eighteenth-Century Music *Waltham-Smith's Music and Belonging Between Revolution and Restoration is an impressive, thought-provoking interpretation of works of the Austro-German canon as 'paradigmatic' of a politics of belonging and community * Jeremy Coleman, Marx and Philosophy Review of Books *
