Black Music Matters - Ed Sarath - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Black Music Matters - Ed Sarath - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Black Music Matters: Jazz and the Transformation of Music Studies is one of the first books to promote the reform of music studies with a centralized presence of jazz and black music to ground American musicians in a core facet of their true cultural heritage. Ed Sarath applies an emergent consciousness-based worldview called Integral Theory to music studies while drawing upon overarching conversations on diversity and race and a rich body of literature on the seminal place of black music in American culture.Combining a visionary perspective with an activist tone, Sarath installs jazz and black music in as a foundation for a new paradigm of twenty-first-century musical training that will yield an unprecedented skill set for transcultural navigation among musicians. Sarath analyzes prevalent patterns in music studies change discourse, including an in-depth critique of multiculturalism, and proposes new curricular and organizational systems along with a new model of music inquiry called Integral Musicology. This jazz/black music paradigm further develops into a revolutionary catalyst for development of creativity and consciousness in education and society at large. Sarath’s work engages all those who share an interest in black-white race dynamics and its musical ramifications, spirituality and consciousness, and the promotion of creativity throughout all forms of intellectual and personal expression.

Analyzing NES Music - Andrew Schartmann - Bog - Intellect - Plusbog.dk

Analyzing NES Music - Andrew Schartmann - Bog - Intellect - Plusbog.dk

This study of five of Nintendo’s landmark music scores offers new insights into video game music composition and creativity with limited technology. Faced with severe technological constraints on system memory, composers of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) sought ways to disguise repetition in music that repeats extensively. Their efforts gave rise to a set of compositional techniques for creating the illusion of variety. Andrew Schartmann distills these techniques into a theory of harmony and form for the analysis of NES music. It then uses this theory to analyze five landmark scores of the NES era: Super Mario Bros., Dragon Warrior, Metroid, Mega Man 2, and Silver Surfer. Both theory and analysis are scaffolded by a detailed description of the NES hardware and its attendant constraints, highlighting the ever-evolving dialogue between technology, commercial demand, and artistic sensibility that characterizes video game music of the 1980s and 1990s.

Music Teacher as Music Producer - Clint Randles - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Music Teacher as Music Producer - Clint Randles - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Never has there been such an exciting time to be a music teacher. Band, choir, and orchestra are ubiquitous in schools and have come to be known as the primary mode that students experience music at the secondary level. Similarly, elementary school classrooms feature approaches by Orff, Kodaly, Dalcroze, and Music Learning Theory, among a host of others. But, what is next? In this enlightening guide, author Clint A. Randles provides music educators with the practical tools to turn their classrooms into student production studios. Addressing everything from a new conceptualization of the physical classroom space to the cables and other audio equipment no music educator should be without, Randles puts creativity, technology, recording arts, songwriting, music production, and live performance at the center of music classrooms.

Virtual Music - Professor Shara (assistant Professor In Music Rambarran - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Virtual Music - Professor Shara (assistant Professor In Music Rambarran - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Virtuality has entered our lives making anything we desire possible. We are, as Gorillaz once sang, in an exciting age where ‘the digital won’t let [us] go…’ Technology has revolutionized music, especially in the 21st century where the traditional rules and conventions of music creation, consumption, distribution, promotion, and performance have been erased and substituted with unthinkable and exciting methods in which absolutely anyone can explore, enjoy, and participate in creating and listening to music. Virtual Music explores the interactive relationship of sound, music, and image, and its users (creators/musicians/performers/audience/consumers). Areas involving the historical, technological, and creative practices of virtual music are surveyed including its connection with creators, musicians, performers, audience, and consumers. Shara Rambarran looks at the fascination and innovations surrounding virtual music, and illustrates key artists (such as Grace Jones, The Weeknd), creators (such as King Tubby, Kraftwerk, MadVillain, Danger Mouse), audiovisuals in video games and performances (such as Cuphead and Gorillaz), audiences, and consumers that contribute in making this musical experience a phenomenon. Whether it is interrogating the (un)realness of performers, modified identities of artists, technological manipulation of the Internet, music industry and music production, or accessible opportunities in creativity, the book offers a fresh understanding of virtual music and appeals to readers who have an interest in this digital revolution.

Guerrilla Music - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Guerrilla Music - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Guerrilla Music: Musicking as Resistance, Defiance, and Subversion provides a timely exploration of human initiations and responses to music as a process and product intrinsically part of our culture, history, place, time, and ecological musical worlds. The contributors challenge scholarly approaches wherein music is detached from the social relationships in which it is produced, transmitted, used, and judged. The notion of ‘guerrilla’ is a trope long applied to socio-political machinations, human conflict, and confrontation. Providing a provocative lens through which to view musicking, Guerrilla Music explores research involving human practices of music, stories, communities, and musickers worldwide that employ music to resist, defy, and subvert, whether by silence and non-compliance, reluctant subordination, subversive depowering, resistive counterpoint, or destructive, violent dismantling. The ambition of such musicking experiences resides in the richness of specific contexts spanning the subcultural local, glocal, and the universal. What better way to understand the potency of these passionate human traits than through interrogation and celebration of the life worlds of music, musicians, and those that become engulfed in musical maelstroms that incite change. Guerrilla Music both invigorates and advances scholarly debates about social power, colonisation, and difference by simultaneously exploring the social semiotics of music making and music communities, identifying powerful new ways of understanding human communication, the power of music, and what musicking means to people in the twenty-first century.

Handel: Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks - Christopher Hogwood - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Handel: Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks - Christopher Hogwood - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This handbook covers Handel''s best known public music, the Water Music, written at the outset of his English career, and the Music for the Royal Fireworks, the last and largest of his orchestral creations. The genesis of these two orchestral suites is examined in its political as well as musical context; practical questions of performance style and interpretation are balanced by an enquiry into Handel''s compositional processes, and the relationship of his other large-scale orchestral compositions, especially the Concerti a due cori, to these suites. Original source material is set alongside the most recent theories on Handel''s character and working methods. In particular the problem of ''borrowings'' is addressed with reference to most recent identifications of Handel''s sources, together with the later presentation of these works in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with an account of recordings, editions and a summary of performance questions.
