  • Music Making Politics: Beyond Lyrics
    Politik Nummer 1 | Årgang 23 | 2020 Music making politics: beyond lyrics M.I. Franklin, Professor of Global Media and Politics, Goldsmiths University of London In this article I argue that considering how any sort of music is made more closely - as sonic material, performance cultures, for whom and on whose terms, is integral to pro- jects exploring the music-politics nexus. The case in point is “My Way”, a seemingly apo- litical song, as it becomes repurposed: transformed through modes of performance, unu- sual musical arrangements, and performance contexts. The analysis reveals a deeper, underlying politics of music-making that still needs unpacking: the race, gender, and class dichotomies permeating macro- and micro-level explorations into the links between music, society, and politics. Incorporating a socio-musicological analytical framework that pays attention to how this song works musically, alongside how it can be reshaped through radical performance and production practices, shows how artists in diverging contexts can ‘re-music’ even the most hackneyed song into a form of political engage- ment. Introduction In 2016, Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In 2018 Kendrick Lamar became the first Rap artist to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music. Between these two medi- atized moments of public recognition, across the race and genre divides of contemporary culture lie many musico-political timelines, recording careers, playlists, and embodied musicalities. This article aims to show why, and how theory and research into the rela- tionship between (the study of) politics and music-making need to move beyond indica- tors of political relevance that are based on lyrics, an artist’s public persona, public profile or critical acclaim.

The Eastern Michigan University Choral Department and the Michigan American Choral Directors Association are so pleased to welcome you to Sing for Justice, Michigan! Music has always been way for people to express themselves and the call for justice is not new to our age. We each understand that the arts have a role to play, and that is why we are here. To understand and to maximize that role is critical to the artist and we are here to discuss the intersection of arts and justice issues. While we have differences among us, the arts can be a common ground for people of myriad backgrounds, whether those variations be political, religious, cultural, or otherwise. Today we celebrate these differences and we gather to examine how we can help inspire others to celebrate them, as well. EMU and ACDA-MI are thrilled to host renowned composer and arranger Stacey Gibbs, singer-songwriter Shara Nova from the band My Brightest Diamond, and a variety of other presenters and performing ensembles as they seek to find ways to use the arts for justice issues.

John Cage, We have seen multiple essays and a new book composer. describing Cage’s relationship to Zen Buddhism. We have seen exhibitions of his paintings, his poetry, his correspondence. We have focused on Cage’s personal relationship with Merce Cunningham and his aesthetic rapport with Rauschenberg and Duchamp. We have fêted his well-known interest in Thoreau, in Joyce and Satie. We have saluted the cross- cultural, and even countercultural impulses behind his devotion to chance procedures and the I Ching. A well-known composer, and good friend of mine, claims that Cage was a revolutionary theorist, “but not really a composer” – a view shared by Cage’s most famous teacher, Arnold Schoenberg, who while bemoaning Cage’s utter lack of sensitivity to harmony nevertheless proclaimed him to be, “an inventor of great genius.” Judging from the welcome outpouring of affection and attention this year’s centennial celebrations have presented, Cage is apparently “all of the above.” But is he a real composer?
