The Papers & the Papers (Paper) by S J Ungar
In this book brimming with great music and great ideas, Susan McClary takes us into the sensual, even bawdy world of the seventeenth century. Its musicians developed ways to express, through tones, the longings and pleasures that the nobility hoped to experience on earth and in heaven. With McClary as our guide, we can tour this sacred and profane landscape of desire and, in our own fashion, luxuriate in its musical beauties.--Robert O. Gjerdingen, author of Music in the Galant Style
In this ambitious study, Susan McClary boldly argues that the seventeenth century was far more than the period in which an emerging tonal practice can be charted in Western music, for it was precisely in this nascent tonality, she claims, that composers discovered affective sonic expression of modern notions of self, temporality, and bodily desire. Enriched by compelling analytic examples and enlivened by McClary's characteristically vivid prose, it is a book sure to arouse the interest of music historians and theorists alike.
--Thomas Christensen, general editor of Cambridge History of Western Music Theory
