A work-by-work guide to the composer's groundbreaking music Robert
Wannamaker's monumental two-volume study explores the influential
music and ideas of American composer, theorist, writer, performer,
and educator James Tenney. Delving into the whole of Tenney's
far-ranging oeuvre, Wannamaker offers close, aurally grounded
analyses of works linked to the artist's revolutionary theories of
musical form, timbre, and harmonic perception. Written as a
reference work, Volume 2, A Handbook to the Pieces, presents
detailed entries on Tenney's significant post-1959 experimental
works (excepting pieces covered in volume 1). Wannamaker includes
technical information, an analysis of intentions and goals, graphs
and musical examples, historical and biographical context, and
thoughts from Tenney and others on specific works. Throughout, he
discusses the striking compositional ideas found in Tenney's music
and, where appropriate, traces an idea's appearance from one piece
to the next to reveal the evolution of the composer's art and
thought. A landmark in experimental music scholarship, The Music of
James Tenney is a first-of-its-kind consideration of the
experimental music titan and his work.
