Concert Music, Rock, and Jazz Since 1945: Essays and Analytical Studies

The essays in this volume present current research into a wide range of Western music, disregarding barriers between different kinds of music, and drawing on modern musical-analytical techniques to draw together the varied subjects they explore. Topics discussed fall into three sections: `Compositional Poietics', poietics being the pre-compositional activities of composer theorists; `Structuralist Approaches', extending musical-theoretical research to newrepertoires; and `Insights from Other Disciplines', concerned to expand music analysis in ways hitherto employed in other disciplines.
