Editorial Reviews
Review
'... an excellent contribution to the debate surrounding the analysis of pop ... a useful collection for tertiary-level students and researchers alike ... the book would function well within undergraduate-level popular music or music analysis modules ...'. British Journal of Music
'This collection of essays, edited by Allan Moore, is a significant representation of the constellation of issues which revolve around the popular music text and its analytical interpretation. A wide range of authors encounter an equally wide range of musics and raise many important issues.' Journal of Popular Music
Book Description
How do we "know" music? We perform it, compose it, sing it in the shower; cook, sleep and dance to it. Eventually we think and write about it. This book represents the culmination of such shared processes. Portraying a wide range of genres (rock, dance, TV soundtracks, country, pop, soul, easy listening, Turkish Arabesk), the essays cover methodology, modernism, postmodernism, Marxism and communication.
