| Summary: | This is the first introductory survey of twentieth-century music in the West 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 sixteen 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--back cover. |
