Showcases the energy and diversity of the young field of music
semiology, appealing to readers who want to explore the meaning of
music in our lives. The Dawn of Music Semiology showcases the work
of nine leading musicologists, inspired by the work of Jean-Jacques
Nattiez, the founding father of music semiology. Now entering its
fifth decade as Nattiez enters his eighth,music semiology, or music
semiotics, is still a young, vibrant field, and this book reflects
its energy and diversity. It appeals to readers wanting to explore
the meaning of music in our lives and to understand the ways of
appreciating the complexities that lie behind its simple beauty and
direct impact on us. Following a preface by Pierre Boulez and an
introduction by the editors, nine chapters discuss the latest
thinking about general considerations such as music and gesture,
the psychology of music, and the role of ethnotheory. The volume
offers new research on topics as diverse as modeling folk
polyphony, spatialization in the Darmstadt repertoire, Schenker's
theory of musical content, compositional modernism from Wagner to
Boulez, current music theory terminology, and Maderna's use of folk
music in serial composition. CONTRIBUTORS: Kofi Agawu, Simha Arom,
