Abstract

What is music, what is its value, and what does it mean? In this stimulating volume, Roger Scruton offers a comprehensive account of the nature and significance of music from the perspective of modern philosophy. The study begins with the metaphysics of sound. Scruton 7istinguishes sound from tone; analyzes rhythm, melody, and harmony; and explores the various dimensions of musical organization and musical meaning. Taking on various fashionable theories in the philosophy and theory of music, he presents a compelling case for the moral significance of music, its place in our culture, and the need for taste and discrimination in performing and listening to it. Laying down principles for musical analysis and criticism, this bold work concludes with a theory of culture--and a devastating demolition of modern popular music [Publisher description].

Abstract

Maakt muziek mens en maatschappij beter? In de loop der tijd hebben filosofen zich met grote scepsis over die vraag gebogen. Plato waarschuwde dat muziek gevaarlijke veranderingen in de samenleving kan veroorzaken. Eeuwen later wees Adorno op de schadelijke kracht van jazz, die ons tot tamme burgers zou maken. Alicja Gescinska is ervan overtuigd dat muziek eerder een verheffende dan een verderfelijke kracht bezit en een grote rol kan spelen in onze persoonlijke en morele ontwikkeling. Daar staan we vandaag de dag te weinig bij stil. In het onderwijs is muziek nauwelijks nog van belang, en in het dagelijks leven zien we het vooral als bron van ontspanning, ter verstrooiing of vertroosting. In dit heldere essay toont Gescinska op overtuigende wijze dat muziek eerder een fundament dan een ornament van ons bestaan is. Muziek laat ons thuiskomen in onszelf, en vormt ons thuis in de wereld. Als ik nadenk over herinneringen uit mijn kindertijd, blijkt hoe sterk klanken, geuren en beelden met elkaar verbonden zijn. Hoe ze me hebben gevormd tot wie ik nu ben. Een stem, een accent, een gepiep kan in een fractie van een seconde een hele keten van gedachten en gevoelens oproepen.

Abstract

This book is born out of two contradictions: first, it explores the making of meaning in a musical form that was made to lose its meaning at the turn of the nineteenth century; secondly, it is a history of a music that claims to have no history - absolute music. The book therefore writes against that notion of absolute music which tends to be the paradigm for most musicological and analytical studies. It is concerned not so much with what music is, but with why and how meaning is constructed in instrumental music and what structures of knowledge need to be in place for such meaning to exist. From the thought of Vincenzo Galilei to that of Theodore Adorno, Daniel Chua suggests that instrumental music has always been a critical and negative force in modernity, even with its nineteenth-century apotheosis as 'absolute music'.

Abstract

What is rhetorical music? In The Pathetick Musician, Bruce Haynes and Geoffrey Burgess illustrate the vital place of rhetoric and eloquent expression in the creation and performance of Baroque music. Through engaging explorations of the cantatas of J.S. Bach, the authors explode the conventional notion of historical authenticity in music, proposing adventurous new directions to reinvigorate the performance of early music in the modern setting. Along the way, Haynes and Burgess investigate intersections between music and oratory, dance, gesture, poetry, painting and sculpture, and offer insights into figural elaboration, articulation, nuance and temporality. Aimed primarily at performers of Baroque music, the book situates the study of performance practice in a broader cultural context, and as much as an invaluable resource for advanced study, it contains a wealth of information that pertains directly to anyone working in the field of early music. Based on a draft sketched by celebrated Baroque oboist and early music scholar Bruce Haynes before his death in 2011, The Pathetick Musician is the fruit of the combined wisdom of two musicians renowned equally for their contributions as performers and scholars. Drawing on an impressive array of Classical treatises on oratory, musical autographs and performance accounts, it is an essential companion to Haynes' controversial The End of Early Music. Geoffrey Burgess has taken up the broader claims of Haynes' philosophy to create a practical, accessible text that will be stimulating for all musicians interested in the rediscovery of early music. With copious musical examples, contemporaneous works of art, and a companion website with supplementary audio recordings, The Pathetick Musician is an invaluable resource for all interested in exploring new expressive possibilities in the performance and study of Baroque music.

Abstract

In this new book, Lydia Goehr focuses on the history of elective affinities between philosophy and music from German classicism, romanticism, and idealism to the modernist aesthetic theory of Theodor W. Adorno and Arthur C. Danto. Aesthetic theory, she argues, depends on a dynamic philosophy of history centered on tendencies, yearnings, needs, and potentialities. With this in mind, she recasts the theses of Adorno and Danto regarding the death or end of philosophy, art, music, and human experience as arguments for continuation and survival. Elective Affinities tracks the migration of aesthetic and critical theory from Germany to the United States following the catastrophic period of the twentieth century marked by the Second World War.

Abstract

In 1838 reisde Frédéric Chopin naar Mallorca om de winter te ontvluchten. Hij kreeg er ruzie met zijn minnares, de Franse schrijfster George Sand. Niet over het onverwacht barre weer op het Spaanse eiland, maar over de betekenis van muziek. Heeft muziek wel iets te betekenen? Wat vertellen de klanken van een muziekstuk? Kan een compositie opgevat worden als een verhaal? De vraag naar de betekenis van muziek loopt als een rode draad door de westerse muziekfilosofie. Terwijl Plato muziek zonder woorden nog uiterst verdacht vond, kwam in de 19de eeuw het idee van de 'absolute muziek' opzetten. Muziek verklaarde zichzelf onafhankelijk van het woord. De Munck schetst een fascinerend panorama van de denkers en muzikanten die zich hierover het hoofd braken. Ze betoogt dat luisteraars samen, tijdens de muzikale ervaring, betekenis produceren. Deze betekenis volgt rechtstreeks uit de manier waarop we over muziek denken.
