  • Music As Evil: Deviance and Metaculture in Classical Music*

    Music As Evil: Deviance and Metaculture in Classical Music*

    Music and Arts in Action | Volume 2 | Issue 1 Music as Evil: Deviance and Metaculture in Classical Music* NATHAN W. PINO Department of Sociology | Texas State University – San Marcos | USA* ABSTRACT This paper aims to apply the sociology of deviance and the concept of metaculture to the sociology of high-art and music. Examples of classical music criticisms over time are presented and discussed. Music critics have engaged in metaculture and norm promotion by labeling certain composers or styles of music as negatively deviant in a number of ways. Composers or styles of classical music have been labeled as not music, not worthy of being considered the future of music, a threat to culture, politically unacceptable, evil, and even criminal. Critics have linked composers they are critical of with other deviant categories, and ethnocentrism, racism, and other biases play a role in critics’ attempts to engage in norm promotion and affect the public temper. As society changes, musical norms and therefore deviant labels concerning music also change. Maverick composers push musical ideas forward, and those music critics who resist these changes are unable to successfully promote their dated, more traditional norms. Implications of the findings for the sociology of deviance and the sociology of music are discussed. *The author would like to thank Erich Goode, David Pino, Aaron Pino, Deborah Harris, and Ian Sutherland for their comments on an earlier version of this paper. *Texas State University - San Marcos, 601 University Drive, San Marcos, Texas 78666, USA © Music and Arts in Action/Nathan W. Pino 2009 | ISSN: 1754-7105 | Page 37 http://musicandartsinaction.net/index.php/maia/article/view/musicevil Music and Arts in Action | Volume 2 | Issue 1 INTRODUCTION The sociology of deviance has generated a large number of ideas, concepts, and theories that are used in other concentration areas within sociology, such as medical sociology, race, ethnicity, and gender studies, criminology, social problems, and collective behavior, among others (Goode, 2004).

  • The Story of the Symphony, Part 2: Beethoven and His Legacy

    The Story of the Symphony, Part 2: Beethoven and His Legacy

    KS4/5KS5 The story of the symphony, part 2: Beethoven and his legacy Jonathan James by Jonathan James is a freelance music educator and conductor who presents and leads workshops for orchestras and INTRODUCTION venues across the UK. In the second of this three-part resource (for part one, see Music Teacher, February 2019), we will be joining the story of the symphony at its heyday in the 19th century, where the form expanded and evolved at dizzying speed. By the end of the century, symphony orchestras were up to ten times the size of their 18th-century predecessors, playing works of double the length to much larger, more discerning audiences. As before, the aim of this resource is to use the story of the symphony to give a context for analysing instrumental writing in the wider listening questions at GCSE and beyond. It gives a historical framework for set works and outlines the creative principles of key composers, questioning the choices they made as they crafted their symphonies and, in so doing, giving inspiration for the students’ own compositional thinking. The resources should broaden the vocabulary and analytical thinking required for the higher-scoring evaluative answers in the listening papers in Key Stages 4 and 5. A Spotify playlist accompanies each resource, to use for musical illustrations and listening exercises. This second part takes us from the symphonic revolutions of Beethoven in the early 1800s through the diverse response to that impressive legacy by some of the main symphonists of the Romantic era, including Berlioz, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Dvorˇák.
