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. Arguments are supported by 90 musical examples taken from such diverse sources as opera, symphonic music, jazz, and 19th- and 20th-century popular songs.
One of Scott's most noble achievements in this book is the recuperation of musical repertories that have been ignored or marginalized, perhaps suppressed by ideological forces such as the canonIn covering such a wide range of different musics and raising some fundamental issues about music and its interpretation, Derek Scott makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the interrelationships between style and ideology and, through his projection of a critical musicology, provides a timely, stimulating, and thought-provoking response to the endless discourse surrounding music and musicology. * Music and Letters *
