UniM Music 780.92 ADOR/ APPA
Apparitions : new perspectives on Adorno and twentieth century music / edited by Berthold Hoeckner.
New York : Routledge, 2006.
Series: Studies in contemporary music and culture
Contents: Preface : on apparition / Berthold Hoeckner -- 1. Drifting : the dialectics of Adorno's Philosophy of new music / Daniel K. L. Chua -- 2. Labor and metaphysics in Hindemith's and Adorno's statements on counterpoint / Keith Chapin -- 3. Dire cela, sans savoir quoi : the question of meaning in Adorno and in the musical avant-garde / Gianmario Borio -- 4. "The elliptical geometry of utopia" : new music since Adorno / Julian Johnson -- 5. Wolfgang Rihm and the Adorno legacy / Alastair Williams -- 6. Frankfurt school blues : rethinking Adorno's critique of jazz / James Buhler -- 7. "Die Zerstorung der Symphonie" : Adorno and the theory of radio / Larson Powell -- 8. Music, corporate power, and the age of unending war / Martin Scherzinger.
Summary: "Apparitions takes a new look at the critical legacy of one of the 20[superscript th] century's most important and influential thinkers about music, Theodor W. Adorno. Bringing together an international group of scholars, the book offers new historical and critical insights into Adorno's theories of music and how these theories, in turn, have affected the study of contemporary art music, popular music, and jazz." "The essays review the impact of Philosophy of New Music after World War II, examine Adorno's struggle to adapt his aging philosophy to the new music of the 1950s and 1960s, and trace his influence on recent composers. Several essays in this volume also re-evaluate Adorno's controversial contribution to the study of popular music and jazz, as well as his theories of mass media and mass culture in the context of an increasing consolidation of corporate and political power in the entertainment industry." "This volume will be indispensable for both scholars and students of Adorno, who seek a historical context and a critical assessment of some of his most influential as well as most contested writings on music."--BOOK JACKET.

Bertagnolli, Paul, 1956-
Prometheus in music : representations of the myth in the romantic era.
Aldershot, England ; Burlington, VT : Ashgate, c2007.
Contents: 1. Promethean Legacies: The Myth in Literature and Music Prior to the Romantic Era -- 2. Gesture and Convention in Beethoven's Ballet d'action -- 3. Three Settings or Goethe's Transgressive Ode -- 4. Toward a Philosophy of History: Liszt's Prometheus Music -- 5. The French Prometheus -- 6. Atheism, Wagnerism, and Eroticism in Parry's Scenes from Shelley's Prometheus Unbound -- 7. Conservatism Assimilates the Prometheus Myth: Concert Overtures by Bargiel and Goldmark.
Summary: "The ancient Greek myth of Prometheus, the primordial Titan who defied the Olympian gods by stealing fire from the heavens as a gift for humanity, enjoyed unprecedented popularity during the Romantic era. An international coterie of writers such as Goethe, Monti, Byron, the Shelleys, Sainte-Helene, Coleridge, Browning, and Bridges engaged with the legend, while composers such as Beethoven, Reichardt, Schubert, Wolf, Liszt, Halevy, Saint-Saens, Holmes, Faure, Parry, Goldmark, and Bargiel based works of diverse genres on the fable." "Paul Bertagnolli charts the progress of the myth during the nineteenth century, as it articulates an extraordinary variety of issues pertaining to culture, society, aesthetics, and philosophy. Drawing on archival research, dance history, sketch studies, literary theory, linear analysis, topos theory, and reception history, individual chapters demonstrate that the legend served as a vehicle to express opinions on subjects as diverse as aristocratic patronage, movements of the body on the public stage, rebellion against political and religious authority, outright atheism, humanitarianism of the German Enlightenment, interest in the music of Greek antiquity, industrialization, nationalism inflamed by war, populism, and the aesthetics of musical form."--BOOK JACKET.

Series: Ashgate contemporary thinkers on critical musicology series
Contents: 1. Musical form and the listener (1987) -- 2. The perception of large-scale tonal closure (1987) -- 3. Beethoven's unfinished piano concerto: a case of double vision? (1989) -- 4. Schenker's theory of music as ethics (1989) -- 5. The editor and the virtuoso, or Schenker vs. Bulow (1991) -- 6. Heinrich Schenker, polemicist: a reading of the ninth symphony monograph (1995) -- 7.

At the borders of musical identity: Schenker, Corelli and the Graces (1999) -- 10. Theorizing musical meaning (2001) -- 11. Form and syntax: a tale of two terms (2002) -- 12. The other Beethoven: heroism, the canon, and the works of 1813 14 (2003) -- 13. Performance writ large: desultory remarks on furnishing the abode of the retired scholar (2003) -- 14. In praise of symbolic poverty (2004) -- 15. Writing on music or axes to grind: road rage and musical community (2003) -- 16. Making music together, or improvisation and its others (2004).
Summary: "This selection of sixteen of Nicholas Cook's essays covers the period from 1987 to 2004 and brings out the development of the author's ideas over these years. In particular the two keywords of the title - Meaning and Performance - represent critical directions that expand to the point that, by the end of the book, they become coextensive: music is seen as social action and meaning as created by that action. Within this overall direction, a wide variety of topics is explored, ranging from Beethoven to Schenker, from Chinese qin music to jazz and rock, from perceptual psychology to sketch studies and analysis of record sleeves. A substantial introduction draws out the links (and differences) between the essays, sometimes critiquing them and always setting them into the developing context of the author's work as a whole."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: "This outstanding collection of Susan McClary's work exemplifies her contribution to a bridging of the gap between historical context, culture and musical practice. The selection includes essays which have had a major impact on the field and others which are less known and reproduced here from hard-to-find sources. The volume is divided into four parts: Interpretation and Polemics, Gender and Sexuality, Popular Music, and Early Music. Each of the essays treats music as cultural text and has a strong interdisciplinary appeal. Together with the autobiographical introduction they will prove essential reading for anyone interested in the life and times of a renegade musicologist."--BOOK JACKET.

Reid, Paul, 1949-
The Beethoven song companion.
Manchester : Manchester University Press, 2007.
Contents: Foreword / Barry Cooper -- Preface / Paul Reid -- Pt. I. The Songs -- Pt. II. The Poets -- Appendix I. Publication of the songs -- Appendix II. Der Gute Furst.
Summary: "This is the first full-length, published study of Beethoven's songs. All the composer's songs with piano are included, with full German texts and translations, together with comprehensive notes on the poetry and the music. The inclusion of unfinished songs gives a fascinating insight into Beethoven's compositional methods." "An introductory essay considers reasons for the relative neglect of the songs, the significance of Beethoven's choice of texts, his crucial role in the development of the German art-song and specific aspects such as choice of key. Throughout the book, poetic and musical texts are discussed in their historical context, and in the overall context of Beethoven's life and music." "This book will be of interest and value to singers and their accompanists, as well as to enthusiasts. The details on locations of autographs and the genesis of key works will also be an aid to further academic research."--BOOK JACKET.

UniM Music 780.899915 STUB
Stubington, Jill.
Singing the land : the power of performance in Aboriginal life.
Strawberry Hills, N.S.W. : Currency House, 2007.
Summary: For the Indigenous people of Australia, songs and dances, have encoded their history and religion, their social organisation, and their connectedness to the land for 60,000 years. As research assistant to the eminent musicologist Alice Moyle, and later on her own behalf, Jill Stubington spent many years between 1960 and 1980 in remote regions of Australia learning to listen to this music, to understand its complexity, its central role in identity, social cohesion, celebration and the resolution of family conflict. From 1960 new sound and film equipment widened the opportunities for recording; and soon the guitar and recorded popular music began to intermingle with the traditional styles. It became a matter of urgency to use the new technology to preserve the old culture. In three sections the book details the diverse culture, its musical instruments and practice; and provides listening guides to the available CDs and notations.

UniM Music 780.92 SCHU/ TUNB
Tunbridge, Laura, 1974-
Schumann's late style.
Cambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2007.
Contents Introduction: raising Schumann -- 1. Songs of farewell -- 2. The sound of legend -- 3. Collecting thoughts -- 4. Hearing voices -- 5. On a cracked bell -- 6. In search of Diotima -- App. Chronology of Schumann's compositions, 1850-1856.
Summary: "Schumann's Late Style is the first study in English devoted to Robert Schumann's little-known music from the 1850s. The reason most often given for these works having been considered lesser achievements than the earlier song and piano cycles is that Schumann's mental illness had a detrimental effect on his compositions. However, this study demonstrates that there were several other, still more complex reasons why the music from the 1850s sounded different. Schumann had started to compose 'in a new manner', depending more on preliminary sketches; he also began to write for larger forces (orchestra and chorus), which required a more 'public' style of music, as is also apparent in his works on nationalist themes, and in his more commercial pieces for children. This book thus attempts to disentangle assumptions about Schumann's late style from biographical interpretations, and to consider it in broader artistic, social and cultural contexts."--BOOK JACKET.
