Music and Familiarity
Familiarity underpins our engagement with music. This book highlights theoretical and empirical considerations about familiarity from three perspectives: listening, musicology and performance. Part I, ’Listening’, addresses familiarity as it relates to listeners’ behaviour and responses to music, specifically in regulating our choice and exposure to music on a daily basis; how we get to know music through regular listening; how comfortable we feel in a Western concert environment; and music’s efficacy as a pain-reliever. Part II, ’Musicology’ exposes the notion of familiarity from varied stances, including appreciation of music in our own and other cultures through ethnomusicolog...
Musical Rhythm in the Age of Digital Reproduction
Musical Rhythm in the Age of Digital Reproduction presents new insights into the study of musical rhythm through investigations of the micro-rhythmic design of groove-based music. The main purpose of the book is to investigate how technological mediation - in the age of digital music production tools - has influenced the design of rhythm at the micro level. Through close readings of technology-driven popular music genres, such as contemporary R&B, hip-hop, trip-hop, electro-pop, electronica, house and techno, as well as played folk music styles, the book sheds light on how investigations of the musical-temporal relationships of groove-based musics might be fruitfully pursued, in particular with regard to their micro-rhythmic features. This book is based on contributions to the project Rhythm in the Age of Digital Reproduction (RADR), a five-year research project running from 2004 to 2009 that was funded by the Norwegian Research Council.

The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics
Celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the most popular and enduring band ever: “Even the most hardcore Deadheads will be impressed by this obsessively complete look at the Grateful Dead’s lyrics” (Publishers Weekly). The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics is an authoritative text, providing standard versions of all the original songs you thought you knew forwards and backwards. These are some of the best-loved songs in the modern American songbook. They are hummed and spoken among thousands as counterculture code and recorded by musicians of all stripes for their inimitable singability and obscure accessibility. How do they do all this? To provide a context for this formidable bod...
Handbuch der Chormusik
Das Repertoire für Chor ist äußerst facettenreich – es variiert je nach Epoche und persönlichem Stil des Komponisten, je nach Besetzung und je nach dem, ob geistliche oder weltliche Texte gesungen werden. Das Handbuch stellt über 800 Chorkompositionen für A-cappella- oder kammermusikalische Besetzungen in einzelnen Werkporträts vor. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die musikalische Gestalt: Was ist das ganz Eigene dieses Werkes? Was daran ist typisch für seinen Komponisten, und was für seine Zeit? Auch Entstehungsgeschichte und vertonter Text kommen zur Sprache. Konkrete praktische Hinweise machen deutlich, worauf es bei der Einstudierung ankommt. Die alphabetische Anordnung nach Komponist sowie die präzisen Angaben zu jedem Stück (Entstehungsjahr, Textgrundlage, Besetzung, Dauer, Schwierigkeitsgrad, Ausgaben) machen das Buch zu einem praktischen Nachschlagewerk. Verschiedene Verzeichnisse und Register (chronologisch, nach Textquellen etc.) runden den Band ab. Ein Buch, das zugleich inspiriert: Enthalten sind nicht nur wichtige Werke der Chorliteratur, sondern auch solche, die eher unbekannt, aber unbedingt lohnend sind.
