New Directions in Critical Criminology

Theorizing Resistance examines the extent to which music constructions provide windows for opposition and resistance to forms of state crime and violence such as war, human rights abuses, oppression, and corruption. Drawing on the work of Michel Maffesoli, the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies and more recently Jeff Ferrell, this book makes a unique and original contribution to ongoing academic debates about power, alienation and resistance and will be fascinating reading for courses in cultural and critical criminology, state crime, human rights and the sociology of popular music.

Theorizing Resistance examines the extent to which music constructions provide windows for opposition and resistance to forms of state crime and violence such as war, human rights abuses, oppression, and corruption. The analysis is based on rich ethnographic, documentary, and participant observation research with politically active independent punk rock musicians. Drawing on the work of Michel Maffesoli, the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies and more recently Jeff Ferrell, this book makes a unique and original contribution to ongoing academic debates about power, alienation and resistance and will be fascinating reading for courses in cultural and critical criminology, state crime, human rights and the sociology of popular music.

Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series

What musical elements define the unmistakable, yet constantly evolving, 'U2 sound'? This book addresses this question in a three-tiered music -theoretical dissection of the band's unique sound. Endrinal's analyses reach beyond the traditional focus on melody, harmony and rhythm, drawing on new computer assisted analytical techniques to explore texture, timbre and instrumentation. More than a study of one band, then, this book offers new analytical methods for the study of popular music.

What musical elements define the unmistakable, yet constantly evolving, 'U2 sound'? How is their enormously engaging music constructed? How have U2 maintained their prominent position in the  ever-shifting world of popular music? Let Me In The Sound: The Sonic Signature of U2 addresses  these questions in a three-tiered music-theoretical dissection of the band's unique sound. Endrinal begins by identifying the salient sonic characteristics that combine to form U2's distinctive musical autograph.  With those characteristics established, the book examines the various approaches to formal organization found in the band's oeuvre. Finally, detailed analyses of several songs from across the band's career demonstrate how U2 construct songs and how each member of the band contributes his own unique musical perspective to these formal designs. Endrinal's analyses reach beyond the traditional focus on melody, harmony and rhythm, drawing on new computer assisted analytical techniques to explore texture, timbre and instrumentation.  More than a study of one band, then, this book offers new analytical methods for the study of popular music.

Transnational Studies in Jazz

Jazz and the Digital Revolution: GNP Records captures a transformative time in music history, the period in which digital culture took hold in the production, distribution and consumption of jazz. At the forefront of this epoch was the jazz-fusion label, GRP Records. Founded in the 1990s, GRP was Billboard magazine's number one contemporary jazz label. It had organised its recording, marketing and distribution practices around a full-scale digital philosophy, embodying the notion of jazz as a lifestyle brand. This books makes a case study of GRP Records in order to explore the relationship between jazz and digital culture, how this confluence gave rise to the 'smooth jazz' format, and how the industry negotiated cultural and technological shifts.

Thomas Morley (1557/8-1602) has long been regarded as the most important English music theorist of the early modern period. His treatise, A Plaine and Easie Introduction to Practicall Musicke was published in a luxurious folio format in 1597 and a second edition appeared in 1608. The three parts of the treatise set forth elementary music ('teaching to sing') and beginning and advanced counterpoint ('treating of descant' and 'treating of composing or setting of songs'). The text, written in dialogue format, is enlivened by remarkable descriptions of music, musicians, musical performance and compositional practice. Jessie Ann Owens introduces the facsimile, explaining why the 1608 version has been chosen.

Music Theory in Britain, 1500–1700: Critical Editions

The critical edition of John Playford's Introduction to the Skill of Musick (1672, Sixth edition) represents the contents of Playford's seminal pedagogical treatise in the middle of its development. Although Playford's Introduction was one of the most famous music texts of the period, a satisfactory modern edition of its contents has not yet been published. This is due, in part, to the fact that the interior contents of the Introduction changed markedly throughout its publication run from 1654 to 1730 (though post-1694 changes are minimal). This edition addresses this issue by presenting not only the transcription of the 1672 edition, but detailed contents of the entire publication run to better understand the shifting contents of the major sections of the work from its beginnings to the turn of the century. The contents include an introductory essay concerning the development of the series, divided according to the main sections of the text: The Grounds and Rules of Musick, Instructions and Lessons for the Bass Viol, and The Art of Descant. The body is a full transcription of the 1672 edition with images. Two appendices contain 1) critical notes on the text and a comparison of the major changes-section changes, major wording and style changes, repertoire lists, along with significant codicological amendments-between editions using 1672 as the model, and 2) a list of all of the music in the different editions of the Introduction, including information regarding in which editions the pieces may be found and a reference to modern editions on those works.

Adolph Bernhard Marx (1795-1866) may be the single most influential music theorist before Heinrich Schenker; he is also among the least understood. Although he is chiefly known today as the first to codify the elements of sonata form, his four-volume Lehre von der musikalischen Komposition, praktisch-theoretish (1838-47) covered a wide range of subjects and was of enormous impact. But a full understanding of Marx's influence has been hampered by misinterpretation, often itself the result of mistranslation. Patrick Wood Uribe here offers close readings of Marx's writing as a corrective to these misapprehensions and re-evaluates the assumptions resting on previous readings.

Patrick Wood Uribe here offers close readings of Marx's writing as a corrective to these misapprehensions and re-evaluates the assumptions resting on previous readings.  Among the results of his careful assessment is a new understanding of the way in which Marx's theories have shaped our understanding of sonata form. Uribe also counters recent scholarship that finds, in Marx's writings, the roots of the uglier side of German nationalism. A closer examination of precisely what Marx had to say, placed in its proper political context, absolves the theorist of a modern label that is perhaps over-reliant on hindsight.

Discover John Kander and Fred Ebb, the most artistically and commercially successful musical theatre writing team since Rodgers and Hammerstein, in a brand new way. Identifying the theatrical approach that renders their musical dramaturgy unique, this book explores their importance within, and contribution to, musical theatre history. Through their biggest hits, Cabaret (1966) and Chicago (1975), Kander and Ebb have been performed on the stage more times both within and outside of the USA than any other American musical theatre writers. Unlike Sondheim, whose work from 1964 increasingly aspired towards the avant-garde. Kander and Ebb located their projects in a nexus between art and commercial entertainment, seeking to deconstruct popular forms in order to expose their ideological function. This book investigates the full range of Kander and Ebb's collaboration from the pure comic entertainment of 70, Girls, 70 (1971) and Curtains (2006) to more overtly serious musicals such as The Kiss of the Spiderwoman (1992), The Scottsboro Boys (2010) and The Visit (2014), which were less commercially successful precisely because they addressed disturbing subjects. It explores how the difficult material inspired beautiful, though challenging, scores. It also probes how the ironic counterpointing of luscious music with witty and demotic lyrics makes complex demands of a Broadway audience, challenging its desire for escapist entertainment, devoid of critical self-reflection, to becomes complex, yet popular, masterpieces of the genre. This is the first volume to explicitly analyse the recurrent theatrical tropes and dramaturgical forms in Kander and Ebb's musicals, offering an in-depth introduction to their oeuvre.

SEMPRE Studies in The Psychology of Music

The Body in Music is a groundbreaking music psychology text innovatively marrying perspectives from western music performance practice and pedagogy with those spanning experimental to social research. Founded on a significant heritage of artistic practice, it reinvigorates traditional ideas with fresh knowledge garnered from the burgeoning field of inquiry into the role of the body in generating, communicating, and perceiving performance. An exemplar vignette, crafted from the authors' shared performance experience, sets the tone for the work, embedding it in an established socio-cultural context. Case-study driven chapters strive to reconcile empirical work and performance practice. Woven together, they form a narrative journeying the multi-dimensional roles of bodily engagement with music performance. This text is timely in that it bridges a widening gap between disciplines, researcher, and practitioner offering pathways of convergence towards developing theory and understanding of the body in music performance.
