Power and life are dynamic in nature, they can take forms that are oddity in our sight if viewed with uncommon perspective and rapt attention. Such is the case of music which has become our generic wonder, likened to the sun whose radiance has been scorching and finding inevitable expression in our daily existence, connoting power penetration through the windows and curtains of our homes calling on us to come and behold the extent of its magnificence. It is commonality of archaic and modern existence that music and power work hand-in-hand. In fact, music creates an atmosphere of power and meaning, enabling places to wear unfamiliar appearances. The germane enquiry is: how does music create an atmosphere of power and meaning, causing interrelations? It does when we acknowledge the fact that music, power and some of the factors associated with them can lead to the creation of wonderful experiences and they are one of the subjects of power dynamism the world is yet to take a wide glance at, be wowed by the discoverable factors one can gain and the prestige they can confer on mankind. The unravelling of these dynamic factors that will be thoroughly explicated has never been combined before, let alone have the opportunity of being encapsulated in a compendium like this. This book is about merging minute concept of power and little concept of music to expose depths that control and affect mankind generally but in musical parlance, which is designed to help man navigate his path towards power derivation. This exposition portrays the fact that music is powerful and power to a large extent has become the rhythm (music in form of instructions/machinery of control) people have been dancing (adhered) to before now and hitherto. The inquisitiveness about little knowledge of music being one of the peculiarities of power dynamism that exist in the world is evident in this volume 1 exhibition!

Embodiment of Musical Creativity offers an innovative look at the interdisciplinary nature of creativity in musical composition. Using examples from empirical and theoretical research in creativity studies, music theory and cognition, psychology and philosophy, performance and education studies, and the author’s own creative practice, the book examines how the reciprocity of cognition and performativity contributes to our understanding of musical creativity in composition. From the composer’s perspective the book investigates the psychological attributes of creative cognition whose associations become the foundation for an understanding of embodied creativity in musical composition. The book defines the embodiment of musical creativity as a cognitive and performative causality: a relationship between the cause and effect of our experience when composing music. Considering the theoretical, practical, contextual, and pedagogical implications of embodied creative experience, the book redefines aspects of musical composition to reflect the changing ways that musical creativity is understood and evaluated. Embodiment of Musical Creativity provides a comparative study of musical composition, in turn articulating a new perspective on musical creativity.

This book recreates an exciting and productive period in which creative artists felt they were witnessing the birth of a new age. Aaron Copland, Henry Cowell, George Gershwin, Roy Harris, and Virgil Thomson all began their careers then, as did many of their less widely recognized compatriots. While the literature and painting of the 1920's have been amply chronicled, music has not received such treatment. Carol Oja's book sets the growth of American musical composition against parallel developments in American culture, provides a guide for the understanding of the music, and explores how the notion of the concert tradition, as inherited from Western Europe, was challenged and revitalized through contact with American popular song, jazz, and non-Western musics.

The Ministry of Music explores liturgical music from the perspective of liturgy as a ritual enactment of the paschal mystery. How do the acclamations, the hymns and songs, the responsorial psalm, and the litanies enable the assembly to participate in this enactment? What musical and pastoral choices best enable music to fulfill this role? And how does the music form us in a paschal mystery spirituality that shapes daily Christian living and makes the relationship between liturgy and life tangible. Book jacket.
