Book Description
La música latinoamericana es apasionada y rítmica, pero también triste y reflexiva. En este libro, el musicólogo Juan Pablo González busca articular un pensamiento desde lo que nos ofrece la música, los músicos, las audiencias y las industrias culturales en América Latina. Un pensamiento que permita acercarse a América Latina desde dentro, desde sus venas cerradas, desde aquellas que marcan su pulso y donde circula lo más íntimo de su identidad diversa y dinámica.

Book Description
"This book reconstructs the transnational history of the category "Latin American music" during the first half of the 20th century, from a longer perspective that begins in the 19th century and extends the narrative until the present. It analyzes intellectual, commercial, state, musicological and diplomatic actors that created and elaborated this category. It shows music as a key field for the dissemination of a cultural idea of Latin America in the 1930s. It studies multiple music-related actors, such as intellectuals, musicologists, policy-makers, popular artists, radio operators, and diplomats in Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, the United States, and different parts of Europe. It proposes a regionalist approach to Latin American and global history, by showing individual nations as both agents and result of transnational forces-imperial, economic, and ideological. It argues that Latin America is the sedimentation of over two centuries of regionalist projects, and studies the place of music regionalism in that history"--

Book Description
Central to the repertoire of Western art music since the 1700s, the symphony has come to be regarded as one of the ultimate compositional challenges. In his series The Symphonic Repertoire, the late A. Peter Brown explored the symphony in Europe from its origins into the 20th century. In Volume V, Brown's former students and colleagues continue his vision by turning to the symphony in the Western Hemisphere. It examines the work of numerous symphonists active from the early 1800s to the present day and the unique challenges they faced in contributing to the European symphonic tradition. The research adds to an unmatched compendium of knowledge for the student, teacher, performer, and sophisticated amateur. This much-anticipated fifth volume of The Symphonic Repertoire: The Symphony in the Americas offers a user-friendly, comprehensive history of the symphony genre in the United States and Latin America.

Book Description
Widely known for his novels El reino de este mundo and Los pasos perdidos, the Swiss-born Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier incorporated music in his fiction extensively, for instance in titles, in analogies with musical forms, in scenes depicting performances, recordings and broadcasts, and in characters’ discussions of musical issues. Chornik’s study focuses on Carpentier’s writings from a musicological perspective, bridging intermediality and intertextuality through an examination of music as formative, as form, and as performed. The emphasis lies on the novels Los pasos perdidos, El acoso, Concierto barroco and La consagración de la primavera, and on his unknown essay Los orígenes de la música y la música primitiva, the repository of ideas for Los pasos perdidos, included here for the first time as facsimile and in English translation. Chornik’s study will appeal to scholars and students in literary studies, cultural studies, musicology and ethnomusicology, and to a specifically interdisciplinary readership.

Book Description
¿Es posible que el campo de los estudios del discurso aporte conceptos novedosos y herramientas analíticas específicas a la investigación sobre músicas populares? El presente volumen gira alrededor de esa pregunta y pone en evidencia que la relación música/discurso está siendo largamente transitada en América Latina por investigadores que abordan el tema desde diversas tradiciones, incluyendo la musicología, la etnomusicología, las ciencias sociales en general y la semiótica y el análisis del discurso en particular. Este libro es resultado de un intenso debate entre colegas de diferentes países, en el marco de la Rama Latinoamericana de IASPM (International Association for de Study of Popular Music) y busca un doble resultado. Por un lado, bucear en un primer mosaico de investigaciones relativas al campo de estudios sobre discurso y músicas en la región. Por el otro, y a partir de la puesta en común de las perspectivas teóricas que circulan en el continente, profundizar la producción de conocimiento autónomo y localizado, un objetivo siempre deseable dadas las asimetrías del mercado mundial de conocimiento. Por ese motivo, estos trabajos abordan una amplia diversidad de fenómenos musicales, situados en diferentes momentos y espacios culturales de nuestro continente (aunque no exclusivamente), y, al mismo tiempo, proponen diversas conceptualizaciones de los fenómenos discursivos. Pero más allá de esas divergencias hay una convergencia en cuanto a la convicción de que estudiar una obra musical implica ponerla en relación con algo que está fuera de ella, porque es en esa relación y sólo en ella donde se articula eso que podemos llamar "sentido". Los estudios del discurso aportan las herramientas conceptuales para pensar esa articulación de la música con un conjunto de relaciones sociales, como quiera que sean pensadas, dando así lugar a la pregunta por la dimensión del poder. Si algo caracteriza las diferentes matrices teóricas en las que se fundan los análisis aquí presentados, es la consideración de las músicas y los discursos como un aspecto central de las disputas por el poder. Es esa politicidad que tiene que ver con los condicionamientos complejos y heterogéneos de las músicas populares tanto en producción como en recepción, lo que emerge cuando se las interroga en términos de discurso. Y ese es, tal vez, el desafío más interesante que proponen los trabajos de este volumen.

Book Description
Composer, pianist, editor, writer, and pedagogue Mario Lavista (1943-2021) was a central figure of the cultural and artistic scene in Mexico and one of the leading Ibero-American composers of his generation. His music is often described as evocative and poetic, noted for his meticulous attention to timbre and motivic permutation, and his creative trajectory was characterized by its intersections with the other arts, particularly poetry and painting. Lavista was a relational composer; he did not write music as a private enterprise but for and alongside people with whom he established close relations. Understanding analysis as an affective practice, author Ana R. Alonso-Minutti explores the intertextual connections between the multiple texts--musical or otherwise--that are present in Lavista's music. Alonso-Minutti argues that, through adopting an interdisciplinary and transhistorical approach to music composition, Lavista forged a cosmopolitan imaginary that challenged stereotypes of what Mexican music should sound like. This imaginary becomes a strategy of resistance against imperialist agendas placed upon postcolonial peripheries. Departing from traditional biographical and chronological frameworks that exalt masters and masterworks, the author offers a nuanced, personal narrative informed by conversations with composers, performers, artists, choreographers, poets, writers, and filmmakers. Through an innovative mosaic of methodologies, from archival work, to musical and intertextual analysis, oral history, and (auto)ethnography, this book is the first in-depth study of Lavista's compositional career and offers a contextual panorama of the contemporary music scene in Mexico
