Music On the Move. E-book, Ann Arbor, MI: University of Michigan Press, 2020, https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.9853855. Downloaded on behalf of Unknown Institution Revised Pages Preface In this book I aim to work out some of the ways in which human connections made through migration and media have shaped music-making. Arjun Appa- durai has observed that “any book about globalization is a mild exercise in megalomania,” and I am well aware that this project can never be complete.1 I do not have a “god’s-eye view” of the world or its music; I have not even been to all the places discussed in these pages. Yet in an age where the movement of people and music is evident all around us, it seems important to try to think about music in a connected way, tracking not only music that stays in one place but also music that moves. Although this book undoubtedly re ects my perspective as a college teacher from the United States, I have tried to make the viewpoint inclu- sive—to frame the discussion so that people who come from many back- grounds will fnd something here they might relate to. Te broad scope of this book means that no topic is treated in full: there is always more to the story than I can tell here. My training in the United States and Europe concentrated on concert music and, to a lesser extent, jazz. My subsequent growth has been shaped by engagement with many friends and scholars and the music they love and study. Tis is personal work: I have drawn on the enthusiasm of my colleagues as well as their expertise. Te National Endowment for the Humanities Sum- mer Institute on Ethnomusicology and Global Culture, led by Eric Charry, Mark Slobin, Sumarsam, and Su Zheng in June 2011, taught me a great deal and helped me begin to turn my Music on the Move course into this book. When Emily Erken, Alison Furlong, and Austin McCabe Juhnke taught the course, they too made improvements, as did guest lecturers Tracie Parker and Nicholas Poss. Te undergraduate students who took the course between 2005 and the present have also assisted in the development of this project—most of all, by bringing me music they cared about and asking me to listen. I owe a great deal to generous people who have shared their perspectives Fosler-Lussier, Danielle. Music On the Move.

To Lynn Hooker I owe particular thanks: without her research and teaching, chapter 2 could not have been written, and her willingness to use this book with her students helped me refne it. Courtney Bryan, Samantha Ege, and Asha Srinivasan were generous in sharing insights, scores, and recordings with me; Soojin Kim allowed me to use a photograph from her research. Louis Epstein’s innovative thinking and technical knowledge about digital mapping has shaped this work. Jane Harrison, Dan Jurafsky, Lijuan Qian, Ali Sait Sadıkoğlu, Johanna Sellman, Henry Spiller, and Janet Yu graciously helped with selection, translation, and interpretation of sources. I appreciate Julian Halliday’s assistance with the images. And conversations with Gabriel Solis and Olivia Bloechl, who are bringing a global music history into being, helped me adjust my frame of reference. For partnership in this work I am deeply grateful to Eric Fosler-Lussier, who not only authored the digital maps but also urged me to think about my data in new ways and helped me secure the practical conditions necessary for a phase of intensive writing. His confdence and his sacrifces of time and energy made this book possible. My writing and teaching are further sustained by a network of wonderful colleagues, many more than I can name here.

Funding from the College of Arts and Sciences at Ohio State University helped me acquire the rights to images and audiovisual materials, and a sab- batical in 2017–18 allowed me to fnish writing the text. For a subvention that allowed the University of Michigan Press to publish this as an open-access book, I am grateful to the Ohio State University Libraries and the TOME initiative (Toward an Open Access Monograph Ecosystem), a collaboration of the Association of American Universities, the Association of University Presses, Fosler-Lussier, Danielle.

  • The Javanese Language in Relation to the Newly Legalized Law
    The Javanese Language in Relation to the Newly Legalized Indonesian Law of Pornography Endang S. Soemartono and Pininto Sarwendah Javanese language often uses sensual and sexuality in conversation and written text. This can be seen from the Javanese oral and written expressions used in daily conversation, songs, traditional plays and dances. To express endearment and something very pleasant and enjoyable the words are connected with sensual organs especially the genital organs and other sensual organs. For example we call a son lovingly with tole /toule/ shortened from the word kontole /k nt le/- a male genital organ, and a daughter/ with wuk /wu?/ from bawuk /bawu?/or gawuk /gawu?/ - a female genital organ. We use similar words for food such as peli gudigen /pəli: gu:digən/ and turuk bintul /turu? bi:ntul/ expressed metaphorically from the shape of the organ or the appearance of the food. Other metaphors in form or movement used in songs, dances, and traditional play are often used for example wulu /wu:lu:/ - for ‘feather’ for ‘fur’, buntut - for ‘tail’ ‘ser ser’ for feeling engkol and dongkrak – for instruments, menthek /məntək/ - plump in a nice way, kebayak Meduro sing ketok pusere lan kurang bakal ben gampang oncek-oncekane – a Madurese kebaya or blouse the stomach of which is seen and not sufficiently made not because of not having sufficient material but it is tailored in order it can be easily opened. The planned bill and law of pornography was influenced by a certain Puritanism group, however, the attitude of the Indonesian societies to sensuality and sexuality was quite open for sensual and sexual activities were considered normal and natural.

  • Music of Ghana and Tanzania
    MUSIC OF GHANA AND TANZANIA: A BRIEF COMPARISON AND DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS AFRICAN MUSIC SCHOOLS Heather Bergseth A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTERDecember OF 2011MUSIC Committee: David Harnish, Advisor Kara Attrep © 2011 Heather Bergseth All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT David Harnish, Advisor This thesis is based on my engagement and observations of various music schools in Ghana, West Africa, and Tanzania, East Africa. I spent the last three summers learning traditional dance- drumming in Ghana, West Africa. I focus primarily on two schools that I have significant recent experience with: the Dagbe Arts Centre in Kopeyia and the Dagara Music and Arts Center in Medie. While at Dagbe, I studied the music and dance of the Anlo-Ewe ethnic group, a people who live primarily in the Volta region of South-eastern Ghana, but who also inhabit neighboring countries as far as Togo and Benin. I took classes and lessons with the staff as well as with the director of Dagbe, Emmanuel Agbeli, a teacher and performer of Ewe dance-drumming. His father, Godwin Agbeli, founded the Dagbe Arts Centre in order to teach others, including foreigners, the musical styles, dances, and diverse artistic cultures of the Ewe people. The Dagara Music and Arts Center was founded by Bernard Woma, a master drummer and gyil (xylophone) player. The DMC or Dagara Music Center is situated in the town of Medie just outside of Accra. Mr. Woma hosts primarily international students at his compound, focusing on various musical styles, including his own culture, the Dagara, in addition music and dance of the Dagbamba, Ewe, and Ga ethnic groups.

Stylistically, southern rap relies on exuberant production and direct lyrics typically about the southern lifestyle, trends, attitudes. Hill's brilliant songwriting flourished from song to song, whether she was grappling with spirituality "Final Hour," "Forgive Them, Father" or stroking sexuality without exploiting it "Nothing Even Matters". According to a TIME magazine article, Wrangler was set to launch a collection called "Wrapid Transit," and Van Doren Rubber was putting out a special version of its Vans wrestling shoe designed especially for breaking [source: Koepp ]. Another key element that's helping spread the hip-hop word is the Internet. Late Edition East Coast. Most hip-hop historians speak of four elements of hip-hop: tagging graffiti , b-boying break dancing , emceeing MCing and rapping. Taking Hip-Hop Seriously. Related Content " ". Regardless, the Bay Area has enjoyed a measurable amount of success with their brainchild. And then, in the mid to late s, there was a resurgence in the popularity of breaking in the United States, and it has stayed within sight ever since. Depending on how old you are, when someone says "hip-hop dance," you could picture the boogaloo, locking, popping, freestyle, uprocking, floor- or downrocking, grinding, the running man, gangsta walking, krumping, the Harlem shake or chicken noodle soup. Another thing to clear up is this: If you think hip-hop and rap are synonymous, you're a little off the mark.

  • The Four Paths to Publishing
    THE FOUR PATHS TO PUBLISHING Revolutionary changes and unprecedented opportunities in publishing have established four clear paths that authors follow to achieve their publishing goals. by Keith Ogorek Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Development Author Solutions, Inc. The past four years have brought about more upheaval in the publishing industry than the previous 400 years combined. From the time Gutenberg invented the printing press until the introduction of the paperback about 70 years ago, there weren’t many groundbreaking innovations. However, in the last few years, the publishing world has undergone an indie revolution similar to what occurred in the film and music industries. With the introduction of desktop publishing, print-on-demand technology, and the Internet as a direct-to-consumer distribution channel, publishing became a service consumers could purchase, instead of an industry solely dependent on middlemen (agents) and buyers (traditional publishers). In addition, the exponential growth of e-books and digital readers has accelerated change, because physical stores are no longer the only way for authors to connect with readers. While these changes have made now the best time in history to be an author, they have also made it one of the most confusing times to be an author. Not that long ago, there was only one way to get published: find an agent; hope he or she would represent you; pray they sell your book proposal to a publisher; trust the publisher to get behind the book and believe in the project; and hope that readers would go to their local bookstore and buy your book.

  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.
