Twentieth-Century Music in the West : An Introduction PDF
by Tom Perchard, Stephen Graham, Tim Rutherford-Johnson, Holly Rogers
- Information
Description
This is the first introductory survey of western twentieth-century music to address popular music, art music and jazz on equal terms.
It treats those forms as inextricably intertwined, and sets them in a wide variety of social and critical contexts.
The book comprises four sections - Histories, Techniques and Technologies, Mediation, Identities - with 16 thematic chapters.
Each of these explores a musical or cultural topic as it developed over many years, and as it appeared across a diversity of musical practices.
In this way, the text introduces both key musical repertoire and critical-musicological approaches to that work.
It historicises music and musical thinking, opening up debate in the present rather than offering a new but closed narrative of the past.
In each chapter, an overview of the topic's chronology and main issues is illustrated by two detailed case studies.
