The works of eleven contemporary composers are analyzed: Daphne Oram (1925-2003), Beatriz Ferreyra (1937-), Hildegard Westerkamp (1946-), Nyokabi Kariuki (1998-), Laurie Anderson (1947-), Björk (1965-), Tanya Tagaq (1975-), Hildur Guðnadóttir (1982-), Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016), Pamela Z (1956-), and Matana Roberts (1975-). Written by outstanding music theorists and musicologists, the essays provide thought-provoking, in-depth explorations of representative compositions, often linking analytical observations with questions of meaning and socio-cultural context. Each essay is introduced by a brief biographical sketch of the composer, written by the editors. This collection--the final volume in an unprecedented, award-winning four-volume series of analytical studies on music by women composers--is designed to challenge and stimulate a wide range of readers. For academics, these thoughtful analytical essays can open new paths into unexplored research areas in the fields of music theory and musicology. Composers and composer-performers will appreciate the detailed exploration of technology-mediated compositional practices, including music for film. Post-secondary instructors may be inspired by the insights offered in these essays to include new works in music theory and history courses at both graduate and upper-level undergraduate levels, or in courses on women and music.","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58509142393167,"sku":"9780190236908","price":168.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/analytical-essays-on-music-by-women-composers","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
