Used Music Book

When William Malm published his wide-ranging study of traditional Japanese music in 1959, it was the first time in the twentieth century that such work had been carried out in a Western language. Malm's book has still not been replaced as the single most interesting and authoritative text on the subject. But until now it was never revised or updated, nor were its illustrations ever changed. With the present publication, however, an extensively improved edition that includes a CD of sample music has been made available. Professor Malm's aim has always been to attract the layman reader as well as the musicologist, which has given this book its strength and durability. The writing is lively and personal, and is accompanied by a generous number of drawings and photos of players and their instruments. The book opens with a historical outline of Japan's musical life, then moves on to its religious music, Shinto and Buddhist; its court music; the music of the Noh drama; and the music of specific instruments: biwa, shakuhachi, koto, and shamisen. After examining the components of Kabuki music, it closes with a chapter on folk music and the music of other cultures in Japan. And to put all this in a practical context, a CD is provided, giving examples of these different forms. Whether your interest is in a particular form of Japanese music -- the marvelous sonority of the bamboo flute, for example -- or in music in general, Malm's book will more than satisfy your curiosity.

This far-ranging book shows how human memory influences the organization of music. The book is divided into two parts. The first part presents basic ideas about memory and perception from cognitive psychology and, to some extent, cognitive linguistics. Topics include auditory processing, perception, and recognition. The second part describes in detail how the concepts from the first part are exemplified in music. The presentation is based on three levels of musical experience: event fusion (the formation of single musical events from acoustical vibrations in the air, on a time scale too small to exhibit rhythm), melody and rhythm, and form. The focus in the latter is on the psychological conditions necessary for making large-scale--that is, formal--boundaries clear in music rather than on traditional musical forms. The book also discusses the idea that much of the language used to describe musical structures and processes is metaphorical. It encourages readers to consider the possibility that the process of musical composition can be "a metaphorical transformation of their own experience into sound."The book also touches on unresolved debates about psychological musical universals, information theory, and the operation of neurons. It requires no formal musical training and contains a glossary and an appendix of listening examples.
