The Hallelujah Effect: Philosophical Reflections on Music, Performance Practice, and Technology
ISBN: 9781409449607 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book studies the working efficacy of Leonard Cohen's song Hallelujah in the context of today's network culture. Especially as recorded on YouTube, k.d. lang's interpretation(s) of Cohen's Hallelujah, embody acoustically and visually/viscerally, what Nietzsche named the 'spirit of music'. Today, the working of music is magnified and transformed by recording dynamics and mediated via Facebook exchanges, blog postings and video sites. Given the sexual/religious core of Cohen's Hallelujah, this study poses a phenomenological reading of the objectification of both men and women, raising the...

Masculinity in Opera: Gender, History, and New Musicology
ISBN: 9780415640060 / Angielski / Twarda / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book addresses the ways in which masculinity is negotiated, constructed, represented, and problematized within operatic music and practice. Although the consideration of masculine ontology and epistemology has pervaded cultural and sociological studies since the late 1980s, and masculinity has been the focus of recent if sporadic musicological discussion, the relationship between masculinity and opera has so far escaped detailed critical scrutiny. Operating from a position of sympathy with feminist and queer approaches and the phallocentric tendencies they identify, this study offers a...

ISBN: 9780739167977 / Angielski / Twarda / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modernity, Complex Societies, and the Alphorn provides a fascinating examination of the musical instrument the alphorn, alphorn music and its performance. Indeed, it is the first book about this extraordinary instrument to appear in English.

How is it being negotiated?...

Klangfarbe: Vergleichend-Systematische Und Musikhistorische Perspektiven
ISBN: 9783631606636 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die Musiktheorie westlicher Pragung nahm lange Zeit auf die Klangfarbe wenig Bedacht. Komponisten konnten ihre klanglichen Intentionen vor allem durch die Wahl der Instrumente realisieren. Erst zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts wird in der seriellen Musik der Versuch unternommen, Klangfarbe zu einem der Tonhohe und der Tondauer gleichberechtigten Parameter zu erheben. In der Ethnomusikologie ist man seit jeher starker auf die Bedeutung der Klangfarbe eingegangen. Die Begrenztheit der fur die Beschreibung von Klangen verfugbaren Terminologie stellte sich jedoch stets als grosse Hurde dar. Die...

McDonald rethinks the conventional history of the Palestinian crisis through an ethnographic analysis of music and musicians, protest songs, and popular culture.

Migrating Music
ISBN: 9780415633598 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Migrating Music considers the issues around music and cosmopolitanism in new ways. Whilst much of the existing literature on 'world music' questions the apparently world-disclosing nature of this genre - but says relatively little about migration and mobility - diaspora studies have much to say about the latter, yet little about the significance of music. In this context, this book affirms the centrality of music as a mode of translation and cosmopolitan mediation, whilst also pointing out the complexity of the processes at stake within it. Migrating music, it argues, represents perhaps the...

Composing Japanese Musical Modernity
ISBN: 9780226085357 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When we think of composers, we usually envision an isolated artist separate from the orchestra someone alone in a study, surround by staff paper and in Europe and America this image generally has been accurate. For most of Japan s musical history, however, no such role existed composition and performance were deeply intertwined. Only when Japan began to embrace Western culture in the late nineteenth century did the role of the composer emerge. InComposing Japanese Musical Modernity, Bonnie Wade uses an investigation of this new musical role to offer new insights not just into Japanese...
