Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Musicology, grade: -,
University of West London, language: English, abstract: The essays
are divided into three sections: those featuring some of the
composers whose music has been of particular significance to me;
then a group of pieces on compositional matters including aspects
of style and form such as minimalism, improvisation and repeats;
and finally a miscellaneous group on diverse topics including
education, the sonic environment and the meaning of music and art
in general. The final essay entitled "Explorations" is a summary of
those many enthusiasms that I have indulged in over the years, but
actually, all the essays are attempts at sharing my love of music,
sound, literature and places without in any way pretending to be
authoritative. In fact I discovered that the more I try to write
about a subject dear to me, the more aware I am of not knowing
nearly enough about it. Therefore I plead guilty if it is levelled
at these pages that enthusiasm outpaces concrete knowledge,
although I would hope that it could not be said of them, as John
Butler Yeats once said of his more famous son's opinions, that they
are drawn "from the depths of (my) ignorance." I have tried not to
theorise, feeling that there are altogether too many theories in
the world. Some of these items celebrate, some explore. They are
simply the results of numerous interests which I just do not want
to keep to myself any longer. Whether this is wise or not - let the
reader judge. The least I can hope is that I might stimulate others
to explore some of the subjects which have inspired and indeed kept
me going (mentally that is) through six decades.
