HOW THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF MUSIC CHANGED THE INDUSTRY Honors Thesis In the Department of Media & Communications at Salem State University By Ryan Feyre Dr. Peter Kvetko Faculty Advisor Department of Music and Dance *** Commonwealth Honors Program Salem State University 2020 i Abstract The music industry has witnessed a rise in democracy in the 21st century, both in terms of how artists write and record their content, and how we as listeners consume it. The growing affordability of music technology over the past ten years has allowed artists to work in the confines of their own homes. Many musicians are now granted the opportunity to build their own fanbase without the help of a label, mainly through music chat channels. As a result, consumers acquire music from a variety of places (Limewire, Napster, and now, Spotify). Corporations have now seemingly convinced customers that Spotify is the best place for acquiring any music one could want.

  • Cumulative Form in Pop-Rock Music
    twentieth-century music 1/1, 29–64 © 2004 Cambridge University Press DOI: 10.1017/S1478572204000052 Printed in the United Kingdom (Ac)cumulative Form in Pop-Rock Music MARK SPICER Abstract This article examines a variety of compositional procedures that give rise to what the author defines as ‘accumulative’ and ‘cumulative’ forms in pop-rock music, formal processes which are directly linked to the rapid advances in recording technology that occurred mainly from the late 1960s to the 1980s. The article includes detailed transcriptions and analyses of pop-rock music across a wide range of styles and genres, from progressive rock to post-punk to techno. J. Peter Burkholder has coined the term ‘cumulative form’ to describe an unusual com- positional strategy in selected late nineteenth-century works, particularly in the music of Charles Ives.1 In typical large-scale eighteenth- and nineteenth-century tonal pieces (those in sonata form, for example), we expect the main theme to be stated intact at the outset – most often in the tonic key – and then subjected to various processes of fragmentation and development as the piece unfolds. In a cumulative form this typical order is reversed: thematic fragments are gradually introduced and developed, only to crystallize into a full-fledged presentation of the main theme in a climactic pay-off at the end of the piece. As Burkholder shows, prototypes of cumulative form can be found in symphonic works from early in the nineteenth century. Probably the most famous example is the finale of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony (1823), where fragments of the ‘Ode to Joy’ are introduced long before the theme makes its first complete appearance.
