From the Erotic to the Demonic : On Critical Musicology Paperback / softback
by Derek B. (Chair of Music, Chair of Music, University of Salford) Scott
Paperback / softback
Description
From the Erotic to the Demonic demonstrates how different musical styles construct ideas of class, sexuality, and ethnic identity.
This book will serve as a model for musicologists who want to take a postmodern approach to their inquiries.
The clear and lively arguments are supported by ninety musical examples taken from such diverse sources as opera, symphonic music, jazz, and nineteenth- and twentieth-century popular songs.
Derek Scott offers new insights on a range of "high" and "low" musical styles, and the cultures that produced them.
