From the Erotic to the Demonic by Derek B. Scott (9780195151961)

Description - From the Erotic to the Demonic by Derek B. Scott

From the Erotic to the Demonic demonstrates how different musical styles construct ideas of class, sexuality, and ethnic identity. This book will serve as a model for musicologists who want to take a postmodern approach to their inquiries. The clear and lively arguments are supported by ninety musical examples taken from such diverse sources as opera, symphonic music, jazz, and nineteenth- and twentieth-century popular songs. Derek Scott offers new insights
on a range of "high" and "low" musical styles, and the cultures that produced them.
