Concert Music, Rock, and Jazz since 1945: Essays and Analytical Studies - Eastman Studies in Music Elizabeth West Marvin

Marc Notes: Bibl. ref. & index; Paperback reprint of the 1995 cloth ed., with no new material. Publisher Marketing: Modern musical-analytical techniques are applied to a wide range of Western music, disregarding barriers between different kinds of music. Topics discussed fall into three sections: compositional poietics (poietics being the pre-compositional activities of composer theorists); structuralist approaches, extending musical-theoretical research to new repertoires; and musical-analysis employing techniques from other disciplines. The essays in this volume present current research into a wide range of Western music, disregarding barriers between different kinds of music, and drawing on modern musical-analytical techniques to draw together the varied subjects they explore.
