This investigation aims to demonstrate how it is much more rewarding to view quintessential Western composers in a culturally non-purist and non-exclusive context, rather than insist on incongruity of independent cultural experiences. It has customarily been hard to overcome the divisions between the mind of a highly sophisticated art-musician and the mind of an aboriginal maker of music, myth, and ritual. Both neo-mythologism and neo-ritualism of the twentieth century clearly provide foundations for transcending the cultural borders. The role of mythification in compositional processes has remained outside the main focus of musicology. This book examines the different aspects of composers' thoughts from philosophical views and theoretical systems to operatic librettos and the musical fabric itself, including form, pitch organization, and instrumentation.

"Myths and stories offer a window onto medieval and early modern musical culture. Far from merely offering material for musical settings, authoritative tales from classical mythology, ancient history and the Bible were treated as foundations for musical knowledge. Such myths were cited in support of arguments about the uses, effects, morality and preferred styles of music in sources as diverse as theoretical treatises, defences or critiques of music, art, sermons, educational literature and books of moral conduct. Newly written literary stories too were believed capable of moral instruction and influence, and were a medium through which ideas about music could be both explored and transmitted. How authors interpreted and weaved together these traditional stories, or created their own, reveals much about changing attitudes across the period. Looking beyond the well-known figure of Orpheus, this collection explores the myriad stories that shaped not only musical thought, but also its styles, techniques and practices. The essays show that music itself performed and created knowledge in ways parallel to myth, and worked in tandem with old and new tales to construct social, political and philosophical views. This relationship was not static, however; as the Enlightenment dawned, the once authoritative gods became comic characters and myth became a medium for ridicule. Overall, the book provides a foundation for exploring myth and story throughout medieval and early modern culture, and facilitating further study into the Enlightenment and beyond."-- Page [4] of cover.

Where does music come from? What kind of agency does a song have? What is at the root of musical pleasure? Can music die? These are some of the questions the Greeks and the Romans asked about music, song, and the soundscape within which they lived, and that this book examines. Focusing on mythical narratives of metamorphosis, it investigates the aesthetic and ontological questions raised by fantastic stories of musical origins. Each chapter opens with an ancient text devoted to a musical metamorphosis (of a girl into a bird, a nymph into an echo, men into cicadas, etc.) and reads that text as a meditation on an aesthetic and ontological question, in dialogue with 'contemporary' debates - contemporary with debates in the Greco-Roman culture that gave rise to the story, and with modern debates in the posthumanities about what it means to be a human animal enmeshed in a musicking environment.

Die Zusammenarbeit eines Komponisten mit einem Maler, die beide auch bemerkenswerte Schriftsteller, also Doppelbegabungen waren, zeugt von einem Kunstwillen, der - geradezu >postmodern< - herkömmliche Spartengrenzen durchbrach. Die Oper >Orpheus und Eurydike<, 1926 höchst erfolgreich in Kassel uraufgeführt, steht im Mittelpunkt dieser Betrachtung und stellt die Frage, wie sich Literatur, Theater und Musik kreativ und innovativ begegnen und durchdringen können. Dieses Werk des 23jährigen Krenek, das auf einem 1915 geschriebenen Text Oskar Kokoschkas basiert, ist in seiner wilden und unmittelbaren Expressivität heute erstaunlich aktuell. Aber wie wäre Kokoschkas und Kreneks Interpretation des alten Orpheus-Mythos aus den zwanziger Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts auf der Bühne des 21. Jahrhunderts zu realisieren? Das Buch versucht, Antworten auf diese Frage zu geben. Weitere Informationen finden Sie im Internet unter www.editionargus.de
