This exploratory study measured the generic music style preferences of urban South African adolescents living in Johannesburg. It also aimed to establish the extent to which certain variables affected preference. The authors tested 568 students in grade 9. The stimuli consisted of 15 one minute excerpts of generic styles of music, selected from popular, classical and indigenous music traditions. 3 broad categories of variables pertaining to preference were delineated and discussed within the study. These encompassed listener, music and environmental variables. Learner variables included: music training, gender (sex), ethnic group (race and language), socio-economic status, and age. Music variables pertaining to preference included: physiological properties of the stimulus [music], complexity of the stimulus [music], and referential meaning of the stimulus [music]. Environmental variables pertaining to preference included media, peer influence, family influence, and the influence of teachers and authority figures. ····· 1036121413

Jazz Talks

Although jazz talks through the music itself, the representation of jazz largely depends on who talks about it. The main focus of this book is the representation of jazz music and its musicians, and the ways in which American (black and white) critics, novelists, and musicians interpret this music from the development of bebop to free jazz revealing the complexities of the dialogue between white and black representations of jazz, as well as among the self-representations of African American musicians. Alper Mazman explores the discourses of jazz that are embedded within the broader cultural, political and ideological debates in this specific period, illustrating how the meaning of jazz is mediated through these conversations. The book refers to a broad range of texts and debates, from earlier African American writings on music to Harlem Renaissance, from James Baldwin to `hip` and `cool`, from black liberation to Charles Mingus. Through these cases, Mazman unpacks the ways in which power is embedded in representations of jazz. ····· 1036121199

Felip Pedrell A pioneer of his time

Against the background of the regeneracionist movement that aspired to place late nineteenth-century Spain back on the European map for the fullest manifestation of its plenitud cultural, this study portrays Pedrell (1841-1922) as the first regeneracionist to create a historiographic documentation of Spanish music, using research standards that were innovative, qualitative and critical for his own time. The historiographic turn about in the study of Spanish music in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, through the efforts of Felipe Pedrell, is presented here in relation to political and cultural changes that Spain underwent in the second half of the nineteenth century. The interpretation of Pedrell s image as a regeneracionist historiographer enabled a dialectic vision of the two philosophical positions rampant in Europe, clearly distinct from each other and not at all given to fusion: the scholarly, rational and abstract approach to culture and the sciences the tendency towards cultural relativism that focuses upon the particular element in the nature of nations and cultures. ····· 103611012
