Arvo Prt: Sounding the Sacred by Peter C. Bouteneff (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Arvo Prt by Peter C. Bouteneff, Jeffers Engelhardt, Robert Saler, Andrew Albin, Maria Cizmic, Adriana Helbig, Paul Hillier, Kevin Karnes Scholarly writing on the music of Arvo Part is situated primarily in the fields of musicology, cultural and media studies, and, more recently, in terms of theology/spirituality. Arvo Part: Sounding the Sacred focuses on the representational dimensions of Parts music (including the trope of silence), writing and listening past the fact that its storied effects and affects are carried first and foremost as vibrations through air, impressing themselves on the human body. In response, this ambitiously interdisciplinary volume asks: What of sound and materiality as embodiments of the sacred, as historically specific artifacts, and as elements of creation deeply linked to the human sensorium in Part studies? In taking up these questions, the book "de-Platonizes" Part studies by demystifying the notion of a single "Part sound." It offers innovative, critical analyses of the historical contexts of Parts experimentation, medievalism, and diverse creative work; it re-sounds the acoustic, theological, and representational grounds of silence in Parts music; it listens with critical openness to the intersections of theology, sacred texts, and spirituality in Parts music; and it positions sensing, performing bodies at the center of musical experience. Building on the conventional score-, biography-, and media-based approaches, this volume reframes Part studies around the materiality of sound, its sacredness, and its embodied resonances within secular spaces.

It is likely to set new directions in studies of this beguiling composer, and open up fresh avenues in the wider field of music and theology.---Jeremy Begbie, Duke University Review Quote This is a thorough and impressive attempt to challenge de-materialised readings of P Competing Titles Esolen, Real Music: A Guide to the Timeless Hymns of the Church (2016, TAN Books; Har/Com edition) Bouteneff, Arvo Part: Out of Silence (2015, St. Vladimirs Seminary Press) Shenton, Arvo Parts Resonant Texts: Choral and Organ Music 1956-2015 (2019, Cambridge University Press) Feature An international group of leading P Description for Sales People An international group of leading P Details ISBN0823289753 Pages 256 Publisher Fordham University Press Language English Year 2020 ISBN-10 0823289753 ISBN-13 9780823289752 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2020-12-01 Subtitle Sounding the Sacred Short Title Arvo Pärt UK Release Date 2020-12-01 Imprint Fordham University Press Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2020-12-01 NZ Release Date 2020-12-01 US Release Date 2020-12-01 Illustrations 2 b/w illustrations Author Kevin Karnes Edited by Robert Saler DEWEY 781.7119092 Audience Professional & Vocational We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
