Music Studies and Its Moment of Truth: Leading Change through America's Black Music Roots CMS Emerging Fields in Music

Music Studies and Its Moment of Truth: Leading Change through America's Black Music Roots CMS Emerging Fields in Music

Music Studies and Its Moment of Truth: Leading Change through America’s Black Music Roots presents a new framework for racial justice discourse in the context of music studies and education. Centering on Black American Music the book issues challenges to both the conventional music studies paradigm and decades-old reform efforts. While Black American Music ranks high among America’s contributions to world culture and offers musicians powerful tools for musical practice and understanding this musical legacy remains remarkably marginalized even in activist conversations. The author argues that this reflects lingering and unexamined racist patterns that persist even among the most fervent voices for anti-racist interventions and addresses the need for a higher-order activist framework within music studies. Delving further into the transformative changes needed to pursue racial justice the short pieces collected in this book discuss topics including a shift from multicultural ideology to a transcultural model of musical pluralism analysis of the multi-tiered nature of musical racism the whitewashing of music studies activism K-12 music teacher education as the locus for paradigmatic change and the potential for a transformed model of music studies to catalyze an overarching revolution in creativity and consciousness in both education and society at large. Critiquing the failures of progressive reform efforts and conventional reaction this book argues that major changes are needed to the discourse on racism in music studies and envisions new paradigms for the future. | Music Studies and Its Moment of Truth: Leading Change through America's Black Music Roots CMS Emerging Fields in Music

John Birchensha: Writings on Music

John Birchensha: Writings on Music

John Birchensha (c. 1605-?1681) is chiefly remembered for the impression that his theories about music made on the mathematicians natural philosophers and virtuosi of the Royal Society in the 1660s and 1670s and for inventing a system that he claimed would enable even those without practical experience of music to learn to compose in a short time by means of 'a few easy certain and perfect Rules'-his most famous composition pupil being Samuel Pepys in 1662. His great aim was to publish a treatise on music in its philosophical mathematical and practical aspects (which would have included a definitive summary of his rules of composition) entitled Syntagma music¦. Subscriptions for this book were invited in 1672-3 and it was due to be published by March 1675; but it never appeared and no final manuscript of it survives. Consequently knowledge about his work has hitherto remained extremely sketchy. Recent research however has brought to light a number of manuscripts which allow us at last to form a more complete view of Birchensha's ideas. Almost none of this material has been previously published. The new items include an autograph treatise of c. 1664 ('A Compendious Discourse of the Principles of the Practicall & Mathematicall Partes of Musick') which Birchensha presented to the natural philosopher Robert Boyle and which covers concisely much of the ground that he intended to cover in Syntagma music¦; a detailed synopsis for Syntagma music¦ which he prepared for a meeting of the Royal Society in February 1676; and an autograph notebook (now in Brussels) containing his six rules of composition with music examples presumably written for a pupil. Bringing all this material together in a single volume will allow scholars to see how Birchensha's rules and theories developed over a period of fifteen years and to gain at least a flavour of the lost Syntagma music¦. | John Birchensha: Writings on Music

Music and Gender in English Renaissance Drama

Music and Gender in English Renaissance Drama

This book offers a survey of how female and male characters in English Renaissance theatre participated and interacted in musical activities both inside and outside the contemporary societal decorum. Wong’s analysis broadens our understanding of the general theatrical representation of music or musical dramaturgy and complicates the current discussion of musical portrayal and construction of gender during this period. Wong discusses dramaturgical meanings of music and its association with gender love and erotomania in Renaissance plays. The negotiation between the dichotomous qualities of the heavenly and the demonic finds extensive application in recent studies of music in early modern English plays. However while ideological dualities identified in music in traditional Renaissance thinking may seem unequivocal various musical representations of characters and situations in early modern drama would prove otherwise. Wong building upon the conventional model of binarism explores how playwrights created their musical characters and scenarios according to the received cultural use and perception of music and at the same time experimented with the multivalent meanings and significance embodied in theatrical music. | Music and Gender in English Renaissance Drama

Musical Pathways in Recovery Community Music Therapy and Mental Wellbeing

Musical Pathways in Recovery Community Music Therapy and Mental Wellbeing

Music triggered a healing process from within me. I started singing for the joy of singing myself and it helped me carry my recovery beyond the state I was in before I fell ill nine years ago to a level of well-being that I haven't had perhaps for thirty years. This book explores the experiences of people who took part in a vibrant musical community for people experiencing mental health difficulties SMART (St Mary Abbotts Rehabilitation and Training). Ansdell (a music therapist/researcher) and DeNora (a music sociologist) describe their long-term ethnographic work with this group charting the creation and development of a unique music project that won the 2008 Royal Society for Public Health Arts and Health Award. Ansdell and DeNora track the 'musical pathways' of a series of key people within SMART focusing on changes in health and social status over time in relation to their musical activity. The book includes the voices and perspectives of project members and develops with them a new understanding of how music promotes their health and wellbeing. A contemporary ecological understanding of 'music and change' is outlined drawing on and further developing theory from music sociology and Community Music Therapy. This innovative book will be of interest to anyone working in the mental health field but also music therapists sociologists musicologists music educators and ethnomusicologists. This volume completes a three part 'triptych' alongside the other volumes Music Asylums: Wellbeing Through Music in Everyday Life and How Music Helps: In Music Therapy and Everyday Life. | Musical Pathways in Recovery Community Music Therapy and Mental Wellbeing
