Description

Postmodernism is a term that has been used extensively to describe general trends and specific works in many different cultural contexts, including literature, cinema, architecture and the visual arts. This introduction clarifies the term and explores its relevance for music through discussion of specific musical examples from the 1950s to the present day, providing an engagement between theory and practice. Overall, this book equips students with a thorough understanding of this complex but important topic in music studies. It: * outlines and addresses the problems of defining what we mean by postmodernism * explores when postmodernism begins * engages with a broad range of literature and reference sources, inviting wider reading and thinking * uses specific musical examples to present ways of interpreting music that can be defined as postmodernist

What is postmodernism? How does it relate to music? This introduction clarifies the concept, providing ways of interpreting postmodern music.

Reviews
"The book is carefully documented, with an extensive bibliography for those seeking more in-depth study. It would be very suitable for courses surveying epochs of 20th-century music, and it would be a good addition to music library collections." --Journal

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
