Williams Wu Fei What happens when extraordinary creative
spirits-musicians, poets, critics, and scholars, as well as an
architect, a visual artist, a filmmaker, a scientist, and a
legendary Supreme Court justice-are asked to reflect on their
favorite music? The result is Ways of Hearing, a diverse collection
that explores the ways music shapes us and our shared culture.
These acts of musical witness bear fruit through personal essays,
conversations and interviews, improvisatory meditations, poetry,
and visual art. They sound the depths of a remarkable range of
musical genres, including opera, jazz, bluegrass, and concert music
both classical and contemporary. This expansive volume spans styles
and subjects, including Pico Iyer's meditations on Handel, Arnold
Steinhardt's thoughts on Beethoven's Grosse Fuge, and Laurie
Anderson and Edgar Choueiri's manifesto for spatial music. Richard
Powers discusses the one thing about music he's never told anyone,
Daphne Brooks draws sonic connections between Toni Morrison and
Cecile McLorin Salvant, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg reveals what she
thinks is the sexiest duet in opera. Poems interspersed throughout
further expand how we can imagine and respond to music. Ways of
Hearing is a book for our times that celebrates the infinite ways
music enhances our lives.
