By introducing the contemporary notion of 'artificial' composition - in which the composer incorporated intricate imitative devices to provide creative satisfaction for both composer and performer - Howard unravels with remarkable clarity the hidden compositional techniques lying behind Purcell's inventive strategies in both his instrumental chamber music and his later large-scale vocal works.

S. Bach. Alan Howard brings similar insights to the music of Henry Purcell, and proposes the first analytical approach to his music to examine compositional methods alongside historically contemporary theory, focusing particularly on Purcell's 'artificial' approach to imitative counterpoint. Through this methodology Howard challenges previous responses to Purcell's music that portrayed him as fundamentally conservative. This study offers fresh insights into the musical world in which Purcell lived and worked and situates Purcell's compositional concerns in the broader context of notions of artifice in Restoration culture. Howard thereby offers both a fresh analytical approach - to Purcell's early instrumental works and to his later concerted vocal music - and a critique of the reception history surrounding the fantazias and sonatas in particular.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Part I.

From the rise of digital music making to digital dissemination, these changes have attracted considerable academic attention across disciplines,within, but also beyond, established areas of academic musical research. Through chapters by scholars at the forefront of research and shorter 'personal takes' from knowledgeable practitioners in the field, this Companion brings the relationship between digital technology and musical culture alive by considering both theory and practice. It provides a comprehensive and balanced introduction to the place of music within digital culture as a whole, with recurring themes and topics that include music and the Internet, social networking and participatory culture, music recommendation systems, virtuality, posthumanism, surveillance, copyright, and new business models for music production.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction Nicholas Cook, Monique M.

Boss creates an analytical model that links Schoenberg's tonal, atonal, and serial compositions, demonstrates the processes found in his tonal works continue albeit transformed by new structural resources in the atonal works, and demonstrates the organicism and applicability of pitch-class set analysis as a consequence of Schoenberg's method of working with and transforming small intervallic patterns.'

This book shows how Schoenberg's atonal music can be understood in terms of successions of pitch and rhythmic motives and pitch-class sets that flesh out the large frameworks of 'musical idea' and 'basic image'.  It also explains how tonality, after losing its structural role in Schoenberg's music after 1908, begins to re-appear not long after as an occasional expressive device. Like its predecessor, Schoenberg's Atonal Music contains close readings of representative works, including the Op. 11 and Op. 19 Piano Pieces, the Op. 15 George-Lieder, the monodrama Erwartung, and Pierrot lunaire.  These analyses are illustrated by richly detailed musical examples, revealing the underlying logic of some of Schoenberg's most difficult pieces of music.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.

En route it investigates the objections to all-sung drama in English that were articulated in the decades around 1700, various proposed solutions, the importation of Italian opera, and the creation of the dramatic oratorio - English drama, all-sung but not staged. Most of the constituent essays take an in-depth look at a particular aspect of the process, while others draw attention to dramatic qualities in non-dramatic works that also were performed in the theatre. The journey from Purcell to Handel illustrates the vigour and vitality of English theatrical and musical traditions, and Handel's dramatic oratorios and other settings of English words answer questions posed before he was born.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of figures\u003cbr\u003e Music examples\u003cbr\u003e Authors and editors\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Part I.

This interpretation leads to the characterization of music through perceiving, remembering, creating, performing, and responding to music.   In particular, the book provides an overview of the perception of musical tones by discussing different sound characteristics, like loudness, pitch and timbre, together with interaction between these attributes. It also discusses the effect of computer resources on the psychological study of music through computational modeling. In this way, models of pitch perception, grouping and voice separation, and harmonic analysis were developed. The book further discusses musical development in social and emotional contexts, and it presents ways that music training can enhance the singing ability of an individual.  The book can be used as a reference source for perceptual and cognitive psychologists, neuroscientists, and musicians. It can also serve as a textbook for advanced courses in the psychological study of music.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1: The Perception of Musical Tones 2: Musical Timbre Perception 3: Perception of Singing 4: Intervals and Scales 5: Absolute Pitch 6: Grouping Mechanisms in Music 7: The Processing of Pitch Combinations 8: Computational Models of Music Cognition 9: Structure and Interpretation of Rhythm in Music 10: Music Performance: Movement and Coordination 11: Musical Development 12: Music and Cognitive Abilities 13: The Biological Foundations of Music: Insights from Congenital Amusia 14: Brain Plasticity Induced by Musical Training 15: Music and Emotion 16: Comparative Music Cognition: Cross-species and Cross-Cultural Studies 17: Psychologists and Musicians: Then and Now\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Cognition \u0026amp; cognitive psychology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Cognition \u0026amp; cognitive psychology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Cognition%20\u0026amp;%20cognitive%20psychology%20%5BJMR%5D%22\"\u003eJMR\u003c\/a\u003e], Physiological \u0026amp; neuro-psychology, biopsychology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Physiological \u0026amp; neuro-psychology, biopsychology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Physiological%20\u0026amp;%20neuro-psychology,%20biopsychology%20%5BJMM%5D%22\"\u003eJMM\u003c\/a\u003e], Psychology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Psychology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Psychology%20%5BJM%5D%22\"\u003eJM\u003c\/a\u003e], Theory of music \u0026amp; musicology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Theory of music \u0026amp; musicology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Theory%20of%20music%20\u0026amp;%20musicology%20%5BAVA%5D%22\"\u003eAVA\u003c\/a\u003e], Music [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Music\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Music%20%5BAV%5D%22\"\u003eAV\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648331534616,"sku":"9780123814609","price":45.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780123814609.jpg?v=1695014022"}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/collections\/theory-of-music-musicology.oembed?page=4","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
