Topic: Richard Middleton (musicologist)


  
  Philip Tagg | Review of 'Music and Cultural Theory' by John Shepherd and Peter Wicke (1998)
In chapter one, the authors basically argue that the few musicologists to have dealt with 'the problem of affect and meaning in music', have, in one way or another, misrepresented the nature of musical communication.
Kristeva's notion of the chora3 is presented with some enthusiasm as a key concept which, we are told a few pages later, leads her to deduce that music 'is not a system of signs' because its 'constitutive elements do not have a signified' (p.
Consequently, we move to other authorities, in particular Middleton, and to the question of 'primary' and 'secondary' signification, because it is now emerges that the authors intend to concentrate on a 'second semiology' of music related to 'primary signification', a semiology in which 'the characteristic mode of operation of'...

At the beginning of Voicing the Popular Richard Middleton asks of the British chartists’ 1848 proclamation “the voice of the people is the voice of God” the following question: ‘Where was this voce to be located, who owned it’?
When Middleton asks who owns the voice of the people, he is asking about the very terms on which modernity constructs political agency.
The terms of that agency, its complex mediation and distribution across a number of medialities and cultural fields, are inextricably linked to the necessity for a grit or friction in the system that gives traction.

 Musicology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Music theory is a field of study that describes the elements of music and includes the development and application of methods for composing and for analyzing music through both notation and, on occasion, musical sound itself.
According to Richard Middleton, the strongest criticism of musicology has been that it by and large ignores popular music.
Academic and conservatory training typically only peripherally addresses this broad spectrum of musics, and many musicologists who are "both contemptuous and condescending are looking for types of production, musical form, and listening which they associate with a different kind of music...'classical music'...and they generally find popular music lacking" (Middleton 1990, p.103).

In America, during the 1930s and 1940s, the Library of Congress worked through the offices of musicologist Alan Lomax and others to capture as much American field material as possible.
Later, in the 1930s and 1940s, Guthrie both collected folk music and also composed his own songs, as did Pete Seeger, who was the son of a professional musicologist.
Through dissemination on commercial recordings, this vein of music became popular in the United States during the 1950s, through singers like the Weavers (Seeger's group), Burl Ives, Harry Belafonte and the Kingston Trio, who tried to reproduce and honor the work that had been collected in preceding decades.

 Term Papers on What, If Anything, Can The Study Of Popular Music Contribute To Musicology - Term Papers Lab
Joseph Kerman, in his 1985 book Musicology, stated that musicology had "come to mean the study of the history of Western music in the high-art tradition…musicology is perceived as dealing essentially with the factual, the documentary, the verifiable, the analysable, the positivistic.
Richard Middleton defines musicology as "the scientific study of music.

For those who are interested in everyday life in France, the significance of this book is not to be underestimated: Dauncey cites a 1996 survey identifying popular music as the principle non-elite leisure activity in France, over television, sports, and cinema (p.
A cultural studies approach to the question of popular music in France is thus highly appropriate: less a sociology of music than a “musicology of society,” as musicologist Richard Middleton writes in his introduction (p.
Despite these weaknesses, Popular Music in France is an immensely valuable collection of essays, enriched by a jewel of a bibliography that will surely inspire scholars in the interdisciplinary field of French cultural studies, where history and sociology come together with high, low, and middlebrow forms of expression.

 Feminism and Musicology
However, the debates among these musicologists raise some very important questions about what a feminist musicology could and should be.
Biddlecombe may be basing this criticism on knowledge of the elaborate efforts towards a semiology of popular music by Richard Middleton and Philip Tagg, both of whom have published in Popular Music but whose books are not available in the US.

Equally, it is time to recognise that performers are worth listening to by musicologists, and that means listening not only to their musical performances but also to what they have to say about their musical performances.
Music­ologists should resist any temptation to dictate, and should never presume that a given fact or finding has to dominate a performer’s reading of a piece or passage—just as performers should remain open-minded to the possibility of ‘different, better’ performances (Janet Schmaldfeldt) which might well be informed by what scholars have to tell them.
Musicologists typically find themselves apologising for ‘knowing’ rather than ‘doing’, and for being less ‘relevant’ to real music-making than might be desired by some.

 Philip Tagg | Popular Music Studies versus the 'Other' (Cascais 1996)
I am grateful to Richard Middleton (Newcastle), Dave Harker (Manchester) and Margit Kronberg (Göteborg) for help and criticism while writing this paper.
Some German musicologists swear that there are no negative values in the term U-Musik (ostensibly an abbreviation of Unterhaltungsmusik = ‘entertainment music’) despite the existence of clear ‘unter=under=lower’ parallels like U-Bahn, U-Boot, and U-Mensch (not to mention Unterleib, Unterwelt, Unterstufe, Unterhose, Unterbewusstsein).
From Olofsson’s text it is possible to interpret Primal Fantasy as imagination of ideal states of total bliss — the ultimately Good and Beautiful, heaven, paradise, nirvana, Eden etc. It is not unreasonable to view this ability to imagine such states as an existential, anthropologically universal human experience based on our life in the womb.

Jazz musicians were among the protestors critically appraising our institutions and demanding, both with their voices and with their instruments, equal rights for all citizens, and, in most cases, a withdrawal of our combat troops from the Far East (Tirro 1993: 371).
Rather, primary signification in music "has to do with the manner in which individual notes relate to one another melodically, harmonically and rhythmically" – something that Richard Middleton calls "the syntactical level of music" (Sheppard and Wicke 1993: 103).
Despite emphasizing this dual structure, it seems crucial to point out that any production of primary signifying chains in music is always already connotated to a certain extent, although these existing connotations do not fully determine possible future connotations.

My detailed readings of some those works serve to explain their ideological and musical meaning in a much more complete manner than would be possible if I had never been a fan of this music in the first place.

It draws on approaches from musical interpretation, cultural history, social theory and psychoanalysis to explore key topics in the field, including race, gender, authenticity and repetition.
Taking most of his examples from across the past hundred years of popular music development – but relating them to the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century “pre-history” – Richard Middleton constructs an argument that relates “the popular” to the unfolding of modernity itself.
Voicing the Popular renews the case for ambitious theory in musical and cultural studies, and, against the grain of much contemporary thought, insists on the progressive potential of a politics of the Low.

 Tillman: Writing Twentieth-Century Music History in Postmodern Times
According to Dahlhaus one main cause was the ideas of Theodor W. Adorno, which not only influenced critics and musicologists, but also the composers and thus governed not only writing about music, but the development of the music itself.
Central to Adorno’s thought was the belief that there was one history and that this history developed with necessity according to certain laws.
Dahlhaus’s reflections have many similarities with Richard J. Evans’s attempt at navigating a safe course between the grounds of traditional, neoconservative and postmodern historiography.

The British musicologist Richard Middleton once even described music as "the art of iteration." In modern pop music the importance of repetition still has grown because the success of a song depends on the ease with which it can be memorized.
Most people memorize songs by the inner vocalizing of — parts of — the lyrics and, more often, by humming melody lines.
Many deep reflections about repetition in music have been written down by the British musicologist Richard Middleton.
