No music scholar has made as profound an impact on contemporary
thought as Susan McClary, a central figure in what has been termed
the 'new musicology'. In this volume seventeen distinguished
scholars pay tribute to her work, with essays addressing three
approaches to music that have characterized her own writings:
reassessing music's role in identity formation, particularly
regarding gender, sexuality, and race; exploring music's capacity
to define and regulate perceptions and experiences of time; and
advancing new modes of analysis more appropriate to those aspects
and modes of musicking ignored by traditional methods. Contributors
include, in overlapping categories, many fellow pioneers, current
colleagues, and former students, and their essays, like McClary's
own work, address a wide range of repertories ranging from the
established canon to a variety of popular genres. The collection
represents the generational arrival of the 'new' musicology into
full maturity, dividing fairly evenly between pre-eminent scholars
of music and a group of younger scholars who have already made
their mark in significant ways. But the collection is also, and
fundamentally, interdisciplinary in nature, in active conversation
with such fields as history, anthropology, philosophy, aesthetics,
media studies, film music studies, dramatic criticism, women's
studies, and cultural studies.
