Music represents one of humanity's most vivid contemplations on the
nature of time itself. The ways that music can modify, intensify,
and even dismantle our understanding of time's passing is at the
foundation of musical experience, and is common to listeners,
composers, and performers alike. The Oxford Handbook of Time in
Music provides a range of compelling new scholarship that examines
the making of musical time, its effects and structures. Bringing
together philosophical, psychological, and socio-cultural
understandings of time in music, the chapters highlight the act of
'making' not just as cultural construction but also in terms of the
perceptual, cognitive underpinnings that allow us to 'make' sense
of time in music. Thus, the Handbook is a unique synthesis of
divergent perspectives on the nature of time in music. With its
focus on contemporary music (while paying attention to some of the
generative temporalities of the nineteenth century), the volume
establishes the richness and complexity of so much current
music-making and in the process overcomes historic demarcations
between art and popular musics.
