Die Etablierung der Opera buffa veränderte die Opernlandschaft des 18. Jahrhunderts maßgeblich. Sie stellte einen inhaltlichen Kontrapunkt zur höfisch geprägten Opera seria dar und löste diese ...zunehmend in den Spielplänen ab. Wie aber ging die europaweite Verbreitung der komischen italienischen Oper vor sich? Wo konnte sie sich rascher als anderswo etablieren und wer waren die zentralen Akteurinnen und Akteure? Welche Rolle spielten mobile Operntruppen und wie verhielten sich die Höfe zu dem neuen Genre? Erstmals nehmen die Autorinnen in einer systematischen Analyse der Opera buffa in Europa Migration, Mobilität, Netzwerke und Transformationsprozesse zwischen 1740 und 1765 in den Blick. Mit einem Gastbeitrag von Tom Brökel und Heike Brökel.
Carl Stamitz (1745-1801), Johann Stamitz's eldest son, is well known for his works, as his compositions can be found on numerous recordings and concert programmes in today's music scene. ...Musicologists though do not pay the same attention to this composer, who came from the ranks of the court musicians of the Electoral Palatinate. The dissertation by Friedrich Carl Kaiser (1931-2008), submitted in 1962, is still the only monograph that systematically deals with his life and his orchestral music, which was a major part of his creative work. It is a standard work that rightly appears in every bibliography on the subject. Up to now it has only been possible to view the compulsory typescript copies of the dissertation, which are distributed among a few libraries and which differ in detail from one another. The reason for this is the somewhat unusual genesis of the text, as Kaiser repeatedly made changes and additions to his Stamitz monograph over a long period of time. The present edition, which also includes Kaiser's personal copy from his estate, now provides musicology researchers with a reliable edition of this fundamental text.
Carl Stamitz (1745–1801), der älteste Sohn von Johann Stamitz, ist durch seine Werke Musikinteressierten ein Begriff, finden sich seine Kompositionen doch auf zahlreichen Tonträgern und Konzertprogrammen im heutigen Musikbetrieb. Die Musikwissenschaft schenkt diesem Komponisten aus den Reihen der kurpfälzischen Hofmusiker nicht in gleicher Weise Aufmerksamkeit. Nach wie vor ist die 1962 eingereichte Dissertation von Friedrich Carl Kaiser (1931–2008) die einzige Monographie, die sich mit dem Leben und einem gewichtigen Teil seines schöpferischen Werkes, der Orchestermusik, systematisch beschäftigt. Sie ist ein Standardwerk, das zu Recht in jeder Bibliographie zum Thema erscheint. Bislang war es lediglich möglich, die auf wenige Bibliotheken verteilten Pflichtexemplare der Dissertation in Typoskriptform einzusehen, welche noch dazu im Detail voneinander abweichen. Als Ursache dafür ist die insgesamt ungewöhnliche Genese des Textes zu nennen: Kaiser hat über einen langen Zeitraum hinweg immer wieder Änderungen und Zusätze an seiner Stamitz-Monographie vorgenommen. Die vorliegende Ausgabe, die auch Kaisers Handexemplar aus dem Nachlass berücksichtigt, stellt nun der musikwissenschaftlichen Forschung eine verlässliche Leseausgabe dieses grundlegenden Textes zur Verfügung.
Musical Gentrification is an exploration of the role of popular music in processes of socio-cultural inclusion and exclusion in a variety of contexts. Twelve chapters by international scholars reveal ...how cultural objects of relatively lower status, in this case popular musics, are made objects of acquisition by subjects or institutions of higher social status, thereby playing an important role in social elevation, mobility and distinction. The phenomenon of musical gentrification is approached from a variety of angles: theoretically, methodologically and with reference to a number of key issues in popular music, from class, gender and ethnicity to cultural consumption, activism, hegemony and musical agency. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, empirical examples and ethnographic data, this is a valuable study for scholars and researchers of Music Education, Ethnomusicology, Cultural Studies and Cultural Sociology.

How can we better understand the past, present and future of Social Action for Music (ASPM)? This groundbreaking book examines the development of La Red de Escuelas de Música de Medellín, a network ...of 27 schools founded in 1996 in Colombia's second largest city in response to its reputation as the most dangerous city on Earth. Inspired by El Sistema, the founding Venezuelan music education program, La Red is, however, remarkably different: its history is one of multiple reinventions and a continuous search to improve its educational offer and better achieve its social objectives. His insights and attempts at transformation shed valuable light on ASPM's past, present, and future. Based on a year of intensive fieldwork in Colombia and written by Geoffrey Baker, author of El Sistema: Orchestrating Venezuela's Youth (2014), this important volume offers new perspectives on ASPM and its evolution both in academia and in practice. It will be of interest to a wide variety of audiences: employees and leaders of ASPM programs; music educators; sponsors and political leaders; and students and scholars from fields such as ASPM, music education, ethnomusicology, and other related fields.

dis/cord is an experiment in reading sound. Embarking from Karen Barad’s early work on agential realism, it diffracts quantum physics through sound art, finding the sympathetic resonances that allow ...them to speak together. dis/cord believes in the materialism of sound, and strives not to understand it, but to become entangled with it. It asserts that impartial observation is impossible and understands immersion as a participatory and collaborative act. Sound art pieces provide the backdrop for a series of reflections on space, time, and matter. They trace the “marks on bodies” that sound leaves behind in its ephemeral vibration, finding new forms of sensation and interpretation through the pain and hearing loss that a life devoted to sound can cause. Drifting between sound studies, artistic research, musicology, and craftsmanship, dis/cord uses agential realism as a platform to approach thinking with, through, and about sound. Following Barad’s commitment to diffraction as a form of critique, it superposes a variety of sounds and ideas in the hope that their consonances and dissonances can provoke new ways of engaging with sound as a cultural and material agent. It is neither an appeal to scientist positivism nor a mystical immersion in listening. Rather, it builds from the intertwined physical and metaphysical curiosities that characterize Barad’s work, proposing a corporeal engagement with the disjointed temporal and spacial (dis)continuities that sonic materialism helps to build, understand, and create.
"In the fall of 2015, a collection of faculty at liberal arts colleges began a conversation about the challenges we faced as instructors: Why were there so few course materials accessible to ...undergraduates and lay readers that reflected current scholarly debate? How can we convey the relevance of studying music history to current and future generations of students? And how might we represent and reflect the myriad, often conflicting perspectives, positions, and identities that make up both music’s history and the writers of history? Here we offer one response to those questions. Open Access Musicology is a collection of essays, written in an accessible style and with a focus on modes of inquiry rather than content coverage. Our authors draw from their experience as scholars but also as teachers. They have been asked to describe why they became musicologists in the first place and how their individual paths led to the topics they explore and the questions they pose. Like most scholarly literature, the essays have all been reviewed by experts in the field. Unlike all scholarly literature, the essays have also been reviewed by students at a variety of institutions for clarity and relevance. These essays are intended for undergraduates, graduate students, and interested readers without any particular expertise. They can be incorporated into courses on a range of topics as standalone readings or used to supplement textbooks. The topics introduce and explore a variety of subjects, practices, and methods but, above all, seek to stimulate classroom discussion on music history’s relevance to performers, listeners, and citizens."

A techno-cognitive look at how new technologies are shaping the future of musicking. “Musicking” encapsulates both the making of and perception of music, so it includes both active and passive forms ...of musical engagement. But at its core, it is a relationship between actions and sounds, between human bodies and musical instruments. Viewing musicking through this lens and drawing on music cognition and music technology, Sound Actions proposes a model for understanding differences between traditional acoustic “sound makers” and new electro-acoustic “music makers.” What is a musical instrument? How do new technologies change how we perform and perceive music? What happens when composers build instruments, performers write code, perceivers become producers, and instruments play themselves? The answers to these pivotal questions entail a meeting point between interactive music technology and embodied music cognition, what author Alexander Refsum Jensenius calls “embodied music technology.” Moving between objective description and subjective narrative of his own musical experiences, Jensenius explores why music makes people move, how the human body can be used in musical interaction, and how new technologies allow for active musical experiences. The development of new music technologies, he demonstrates, has fundamentally changed how music is performed and perceived.
This study investigated the emotional experiences of yodelers and listeners in relation to a specific type of yodeling, practiced in Unterwalden, a region in Central Switzerland. The yodels of ...Unterwalden are based on a local repertoire, sung with a complex vocal technique that focuses on syllabic pitch change. Across three consecutive studies was explored how yodelers and listeners experienced different evocations and felt emotions in connection with the yodels of Unterwalden. Reported are herein a) the characteristics of strong experiences with yodel including positive feelings, physiological reactions, a loss of control while being touched by the music, and aspects of enhanced socialization within the community, b) an evaluation of selected audio samples illustrating that the yodels of Unterwalden preferentially evoke certain sensations, such as a balanced relationship between sublimity and vitality, and c) that contextual and personal factors, as well as the musical structure, the type of polyphony, and the characteristic timbres of the yodel voices have a decisive influence on the emotional intensity experienced.
'Theory into Practice. Composition, Performance and the Listening Experience' is the second publication in the series 'Collected Writings of the Orpheus Institute'. The series comprises articles ...concerning the activities of the Orpheus Institute.
The centrale theme of this book is the relationship between the reflections about and the relization of a musical composition. In his paper Words about Music, or Analysis versus Performance, Nicholas Cook states that words and music can never be aligned exactly with one another. He embarks on a quest for models of the relationship between analytical conception and performance that are more challenging than those in general currency.
Peter Johnson's article Performance and the Listening Experience: Bach's 'Erbarme dich' shows that a performance is an element within the intentionality of the work itself. He looks for scientific methods capable of proving the artisticity of a performance.
The composer Hans Zender, in his A Road Map for Orpheus?, states that a composer must be capable of questioning obvious basic principles (such as equal temperament) and finding creative solutions.
