The overriding aim of this groundbreaking volume--whether the
subject is vocal ornamentation in 19th-century opera or the
collective improvisation of the Grateful Dead--is to give new
recognition to performance as the core of musical culture. The
collection brings together renowned scholars from performance
studies and musicology (including Philip Auslander, David Borgo,
Daphne Brooks, Nicholas Cook, Maria Delgado, Susan Fast, Dana
Gooley, Philip Gossett, Jason King, Elisabeth Le Guin, Aida Mbowa,
Ingrid Monson, Roger Moseley, Richard Pettengill, Joseph Roach, and
Margaret Savilonis), with the intent of sparking a productive new
dialogue on music as performance. "Taking It to the Bridge" is on
the one hand a series of in-depth studies of a broad range of
performance artists and genres, and on the other a contribution to
ongoing methodological developments within the study of music, with
the goal of bridging the approaches of musicology and performance
studies, to enable a close, interpretive listening that combines
the best of each. At the same time, by juxtaposing musical genres
that range from pop and soul to the classics, and from world music
to games and web-mediated performances, "Taking It to the Bridge"
provides an inventory of contrasted approaches to the study of
performance and contributes to its developing centrality within
music studies.
