Musical Creativity Musical Creativity This collection initiates a resolutely multidisciplinary research dynamic specifically concerning musical creativity. Creativity is one of the most chal- lenging issues currently facing scientific psychology and its study has been relatively rare in the cognitive sciences, especially in artificial intelligence. This book will address the need for a coherent and thorough exploration. Musical Creativity: Multidisciplinary Research in Theory and Practice comprises seven sections, each viewing musical creativity from a different scientific vantage point, from the philosophy of computer modelling, through music education, interpretation, neuroscience, and music therapy, to experi- mental psychology. Each section contains discussions by eminent inter- national specialists of the issues raised, and the book concludes with a postlude discussing how we can understand creativity in the work of eminent composer, Jonathan Harvey. This unique volume presents an up-to-date snapshot of the scientific study of musical creativity, in conjunction with ESCOM (the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music). Describing many of the different aspects of musical creativity and their study, it will form a useful springboard for further such study in future years, and will be of interest to academics and practi- tioners in music, psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, neuro- science and other fields concerning the study of human cognition in this most human of behaviours. Irène Deliège obtained her qualifications at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. After a twenty-year career as a music teacher, she retrained in psychology and obtained her PhD in 1991 from the University of Liege. A founding member of ESCOM, she has acted since its inception as permanent secretary and Editor of its journal, Musicae Scientiae. She is the author of several articles and co-edited books dedicated to music perception. Geraint A. Wiggins studied at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge and at Edinburgh’s Artificial Intelligence and Music Departments. He is Professor of Computational Creativity in the Department of Computing at Goldsmiths College, University of London, where he leads the Intelligent Sound and Music Systems (ISMS) group. He is a past chair of SSAISB, the UK learned society for AI and Cognitive Science, whose journal he co-edits, and is also an Associate Editor of Musicae Scientiae, the journal of ESCOM.

One or other dimension might be lacking, but the possibil- ity of all three, and of music that develops simultaneously along each of the axes that they define, is both distinctive of Western art music and respon- sible for its many aesthetic triumphs.

Contents Acknowledgements Abstract Introduction 1: Fragments 2: Chora 3: The Technological Body Conclusion Appendix: Song Lyrics Transcription Bibliography Acknowledgements The bulk of the many thanks owed by me goes first to the University of Leeds, for the provision of a University Research Scholarship, without which I would have been unable to undertake the studies presented here, and the many library and computing facilities that have been essential to my research. A debt of gratitude is also owed to my supervisor Dr. Barbara Engh, whose encouragement and erudition, in a field of interdisciplinary research that demands a broad range of expertise, and I have frequently demanded it, has been invaluable. Mention here should also be made of Professor Adrian Rifkin, whose input at the earliest stage of my research has done much to steer the course of this work in directions that only a man of his breadth of knowledge could have imagined. Thanks also to the administrative staff of the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies, in particular Gemma Milburn, whose ever available assistance has helped to negotiate the many bureaucratic hurdles of the last four years, and kept me in constant touch with a department that has undergone considerable upheaval during recent years.

Nietzsche sets his sights on absolute music, music that perpetuates religious values inherited from Christianity and renders the modern listener unable to affirm life. Drawing from various sources in nineteenth- century Germany, including his former friend Richard Wagner, Nietzsche demonstrates that rather than relying on absolute music to

  • Reflections on Roger Scruton's the Aesthetics of Music
    The Question of Music: Reflections on Roger Scruton's The Aesthetics of Music Goetz Richter Preliminary Reflections Music remains a puzzle to the philosopher. This is the case despite countless philosophical investigations and discussions. The presence of the puzzle appears unsatisfactory. Naturally, the puzzle calls for a solution. The philosopher remains doubtful about providing a solution to the puzzle. He fears that a solution will only move the puzzle out of view and hide it. The continued presence of the puzzle is vital to him provided the puzzle remains a genuine puzzle because the puzzle may say more about music than any of its solutions. The genuine puzzle does not just exist. It is brought to light by the proper questions. The puzzle appears in the questions of the philosopher; the philosopher appears in the puzzle. To lose sight of the puzzle of music is to lose sight of the philosopher. Music is made and heard. The musician, the person hearing and making music, hears and knows the difference between mere noise and music. Music does not just exist. The hearing and making of music leads to its appearance; in turn the musician appears through music. However, what is music? The musician need not concern himself with this question; he makes and hears and in this making and hearing remains within immediate understanding. Music becomes a question to the observer of the musician and music. How can music be observed? If it is observed as music the observer will need to know what he is looking for. The way in which music is observed may decide if it is questioned.

As a basic compositional device, repetition affects memory for music and is structured by composers in very different ways across tonal and post-tonal musical repertoires. Of particular concern is whether post-tonal music exhibits mnemonic Edited by: Mark Reybrouck, affordances that allow listeners to experience a sense of global coherence, and whether KU Leuven, Belgium repetition correlates strongly with aesthetic judgment. Although previous research suggests Reviewed by: that repetition impacts aesthetic preference, empirical research has not mapped out the Erkki Huovinen, Royal College of Music in Stockholm, relationship between repetition and aesthetic judgments across a broad set of post-tonal Sweden music.
