Music'S Fourth Wall And The Rise Of Reflective Listening

de Mark Evan Bonds

~~70,66€~~ 56,53€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 We've all heard some version of the line: "I enjoy classical music but don't know anything about it." Why but? Why and when did listeners begin to accept the idea that knowledge was needed to enjoy this particular repertory? Music's Fourth Wall and the Rise of Reflective Listening traces fundamental changes in the way listeners perceived instrumental music in European concert halls over the course of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Like the theater, the concert hall has its own fourth wall, an imagined barrier that allows audiences to forget that what they are experiencing is a carefully crafted artifice, which in turn allows them to lose themselves in the music and resonate with it in a way that is immediate and direct. But when composers like Joseph Haydn began to violate music's fourth wall--most spectacularly in the finale of the "Joke" String Quartet (1782), with its repeated false endings--lay listeners were compelled to listen reflectively. They could not lose themselves in what they were hearing when it kept reminding them that they were listening to a work of music. Author Mark Evan Bonds uses the concepts of resonant and reflective listening as coordinates for tracing this important change in the history of concert-hall listening. By 1850, reflective listening--once limited largely to professional musicians and connoisseurs--had become the aspirational norm for lay listeners. Contemporary developments in the philosophy of art accelerated the growing status of instrumental music by promoting a mode of perception that went beyond the merely sensory to incorporate the intellectual as well: Beethoven famously thought of himself as a "tone poet," someone who not only moved listeners but also challenged them to think and reflect. Lay audiences thus gradually accepted the idea of listening as a skill that could be learned and cultivated. Bonds shows how music appreciation texts, composer biographies, program notes, and pre-concert lectures, all new during this period, helped reinforce a growing distinction between classical and popular repertories. For better or worse, the ideal of reflective listening has prevailed ever since.

Where Sight Meets Sound - The Poetics Of Late-Medieval Music Writing

de Emily Zazulia

~~41,06€~~ 32,85€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The main function of western musical notation is incidental: it prescribes and records sound. But during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, notation began to take on an aesthetic life all its own. In the early fifteenth century, a musician might be asked to sing a line slower, faster, or starting on a different pitch than what is written. By the end of the century composers had begun tasking singers with solving elaborate puzzles to produce sounds whose relationship to the written notes is anything but obvious. These instructions, which appear by turns unnecessary and confounding, challenge traditional conceptions of music writing that understand notation as an incidental consequence of the desire to record sound. This book explores innovations in late-medieval music writing as well as how modern scholarship on notation has informed?sometimes erroneously?ideas about the premodern era. Drawing on both musical and music-theoretical evidence, this book reframes our understanding of late-medieval musical notation as a system that was innovative, cutting-edge, and dynamic?one that could be used to generate music, not just preserve it.

Healing For The Soul - Richard Smallwood, The Vamp, And The Gospel Imagination

de Braxton D. Shelley

~~42,39€~~ 33,91€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Between the first and last words of a black gospel song, musical sound acquires spiritual power. During this unfolding, a variety of techniques facilitate musical and physical transformation. The most important of these is a repetitive musical cycle known by names including the run, the drive, the special, and the vamp. Through its combination of reiteration and intensification, the vamp turns song lyrics into something more potent. While many musical traditions use vamps to fill space, or occupy time in preparation for another, more important event, in gospel, vamps are the main event. Why is the vamp so central to the black gospel tradition? What work-musical, cultural, and spiritual-does the gospel vamp do? And what does the vamp reveal about the transformative power of black gospel more broadly? This book explores the vamp''s essential place in black gospel song, arguing that these climactic musical cycles turn worship services into transcendent events. A defining feature of contemporary gospel, the vamp links individual performances to their generic contexts. An exemplar of African American musical practice, the vamp connects gospel songs to a venerable lineage of black sacred expression. As it generates emotive and physical intensity, the vamp helps believers access an embodied experience of the invisible, moving between this world and another in their musical practice of faith. The vamp, then, is a musical, cultural, and religious interface, which gives vent to a system of belief, performance, and reception that author Braxton D. Shelley calls the Gospel Imagination. In the Gospel Imagination, the vamp offers proof that musical sound can turn spiritual power into a physical reality-a divine presence in human bodies.
