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. -

His sophisticated Romanticism has a universal quality that is related to the European tradition and yet remains distinctly American. Perhaps this is why his soaring lyricism, rhythmic complexity, and harmonic language appealed to early–and mid–20th- century luminaries such as Fritz Reiner, Arturo Toscanini, Vladimir Horowitz, and Dimitri Mitropoulos. He achieved success early in his career, writing his first opera at age 10, and, at 14, entering Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music, where he excelled in composition, piano, and voice. At 18, he won the Joseph H.
