Psychological Perspectives on Musical Experiences and Skills
Psychology of Music is a flourishing area of research in the Western Balkans. However, much of its findings and insights have remained relatively unknown outside the region. Psychological Perspectives on Musical Experiences and Skills features recent research from the Western Balkans, foregrounding its specific topics, methods, and influences, and bringing it into productive conversation with complementary research from Western Europe and further afield. The essays in this collection investigate the psychology of listening and performance and their relevance to music practice. Employing a range of research methodologies, they address divergent themes, from a cross-cultural understanding of a...
Of Essence and Context
This book provides a new approach to the intersections between music and philosophy. It features articles that rethink the concepts of musical work and performance from ontological and epistemological perspectives and discuss issues of performing practices that involve the performer’s and listener’s perceptions. In philosophy, the notion of essence has enjoyed a renaissance. However, in the humanities in general, it is still viewed with suspicion. This collection examines the ideas of essence and context as they apply to music. A common concern when thinking of music in terms of essence is the plurality of music. There is also the worry that thinking in terms of essence might be an overl...

AD FONTEM MUSICAE
Ad fontem musicae – An der Quelle der Musik: das ist die Musiksammlung der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek. Ihrem langjährigen Leiter Thomas Leibnitz ist diese Festschrift zum 65. Geburtstag gewidmet. Sie versammelt musikwissenschaftliche Beiträge renommierter Autorinnen und Autoren, die den Jubilar nicht nur ehren, sondern auch auf seine zahlreichen Interessensgebiete in der Welt der Musik eingehen. Die Wiener Musikgeschichte – und hier vor allem Anton Bruckner – steht im Mittelpunkt der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit von Thomas Leibnitz, der seit 2005 auch Präsident der Internationalen Bruckner-Gesellschaft ist. Seine musikhistorischen Kenntnisse spiegeln sich nicht nur in Studien zur Haydn-Hymne, zu Mozarts Requiem und zu Hans Pfitzner wider, sondern auch in der Gestaltung von Ausstellungen und Katalogen zu Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Richard Strauss, Richard Wagner oder zuletzt Ludwig van Beethoven.
Sound Design Is the New Score
The practice of blurring the line between score and sound design has transformed contemporary film soundscape by challenging not only the long-established hierarchical relationships between dialogue, music, and sound effects, but also the modes of perception shaped by classical soundtrack practices. The methods of this new trend rely on the language of contemporary popular and art music, producing soundtracks in which it is difficult to tell the difference between score and ambient sound, where pieces of electroacoustic music are merged with diegetic sound, sound effects are absorbed into the score or treated as music, and diegetic sound is treated as musique concrète. In Sound Design is th...
The Tiberian Pronunciation Tradition of Biblical Hebrew, Volume 2
These volumes represent the highest level of scholarship on what is arguably the most important tradition of Biblical Hebrew. Written by the leading scholar of the Tiberian Masoretic tradition, they offer a wealth of new data and revised analysis, and constitute a considerable advance on existing published scholarship. It should stand alongside Israel Yeivin’s ‘The Tiberian Masorah’ as an essential handbook for scholars of Biblical Hebrew, and will remain an indispensable reference work for decades to come. —Dr. Benjamin Outhwaite, Director of the Taylor-Schechter Genizah Research Unit, Cambridge University Library The form of Biblical Hebrew that is presented in printed editions, wi...
