AbstractThis article examines the music criticism of Nora Douglas Holt, an African American woman who wrote a classical music column for the Chicago Defender (1917–1923) and published a monthly magazine, Music and Poetry (1921–1922). I make two claims regarding the force and impact of Holt's ideas. First, by writing about classical music in the black press, Holt advanced a model of embodied listening that rejected racist attempts to keep African Americans out of the concert hall and embraced a communal approach to knowledge production. Second, Holt was a black feminist intellectual who refuted

Abstract:
Partant du constat que, dès ses origines, le ballet de music-hall a été basé sur des clichés, l’article s’interroge sur le rôle central de cette notion dans les circulations esthétiques entre ballets de music-hall et autres formes de danse spectaculaire. De ses débuts et jusqu’à la Première Guerre mondiale, le ballet de music-hall a été élaboré, à Londres comme à Paris, sur le modèle des ballets-pantomimes académiques. Il en reprend les thèmes et un certain nombre de codes et stéréotypes, mais poussé par la nécessité d’innover, disposant aussi de plus de moyens qui permettent d’engager des art

Abstract:
Until the world première of Joe Duddell's Ruby on 25 July, I had yet to hear a percussion concerto which didn't trip itself up. I thought it was in the nature of the beast: the orchestra develops some material, which is then passed to the percussion, at which point all development perforce stops. Duddell (b. 1972) solved the problem by turning it on its head, and limiting the orchestral material to what the solo percussionist could handle; the downside is that he necessarily limits the expressive scope of the orchestra. Ruby – the title is simply a rhyming-slang working label that stuck: it's

Abstract:
The Odeo Cornaro is a remarkable example of Renaissance architecture featuring an octagonal umbrella-vaulted hall surrounded by four adjacent barrel-vaulted spaces. According to the principles outlined by Vitruvius, the central octagonal hall was prized for its acoustical qualities, emphasizing sound propagation and vocal resonance. Due to its remarkably well-preserved condition, the structure continues to serve as a prestigious venue for musical and cultural events. This study investigates the acoustic of this remarkably preserved musical space, employing measurements and numerical models. Fi

This book addresses the question: how can the study of music contribute to the theological reading of modernity? It seeks to demonstrate that the making and hearing of music, and the discourses surrounding music, can bear their own particular kind of witness to the theological dynamics that have characterized and shaped modernity, and especially with respect to modernity’s ambivalent relation to the God of the Christian faith. Music can provide a distinctive ‘theological performance’ of some of modernity’s most characteristic impulses and orientations. The guiding theme of the book is freedom:

This chapter discusses the cultural undergirding that made the Jazz Age what it was. The performing arts—which included instrumental music, choral music, and individual vocal presentations—dominated creative performance in Chicago. Mastery of the voice heard in sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses accompanied widespread mastery of the piano. As a result, highly skilled musicians abounded. In the second decade of the century, ragtime, blues, and jazz emerged.

These contexts included 1860s free-and-easies and singing saloons where Burns songs and recitations offered both continuity with older Scottish song traditions and subjects for parodies and satirical updating; his championing by Scotch comics and concert singers of the 1880s, like J

In this movement Chelsea has played a most notable part. For long a centre of art, it was only perhaps to be expected that music would establish itself sometime.
