John Rahn's prolific activities as a composer-theorist-teacher,
inventor of computer sound-synthesis software, editor of
Perspectives of New Music during the 1980s and 90s, and author of
an exemplary text on atonal theory are conspicuously in the
foreground of the academic music-intellectual world.
This collection of essays charts Rahn's progression from the
construal of music's data structures to the articulation of its
experiential structures, leading to the question of its moral
infrastructures and its value systems of the internal and external
worlds. This book shows Rahn's remarkable intellectual evolution,
culminating in the recognition that the pressure bearing on
discourse can only be contained by thought formulated in the
non-referential language of the arts themselves. Also includes 18
musical examples.
