This is the Sound of Irony: Music, Politics and Popular Culture
Author: Katherine L. TurnerPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317010531
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
The use of irony in music is just beginning to be defined and critiqued, although it has been used, implied and decried by composers, performers, listeners and critics for centuries. Irony in popular music is especially worthy of study because it is pervasive, even fundamental to the music, the business of making music and the politics of messaging. Contributors to this collection address a variety of musical ironies found in the ’notes themselves,’ in the text or subtext, and through performance, reception and criticism. The chapters explore the linkages between irony and the comic, the tragic, the remembered, the forgotten, the co-opted, and the resistant. From the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, through America, Europe and Asia, this provocative range of ironies course through issues of race, religion, class, the political left and right, country, punk, hip hop, folk, rock, easy listening, opera and the technologies that make possible our pop music experience. This interdisciplinary volume creates new methodologies and applies existing theories of irony to musical works that have made a cultural or political impact through the use of this most multifaceted of devices.

Not illustrated. 1876 edition. Excerpt: ...daurn my socks mysel'. Guid kens what can possess the craters, They cut at times sic funny capers, It's really hard tae tell. This a' proceeds frae eddication, It fosters insubordination In workshop or in pit. Ower the parlour, ower the kitchen, They maun ha'e the chief direction, The heid tae tak the fit. Some gang in for legislation, Tae guide the Cooncil o' the nation, An' Bradlaugh is the cry. The Hoose o' Lords may noo resign, .

Beneath the warmth of brighter skies, Cheered by thy stirring strain, Hopes, faint before, exulting rise--The future smiles again. Enraptured by thy melody, Downpouring like a flood, Thoughts, purged from earth's impurity, Are wafted up to God. The strains from earthly shrines that rise, Are tame compared with thine; Thy temple walls are sunlit skies, Thou worshipper sublime! While listening to the song he sings, Its burden seems to be: Aspire, young Hope, to lofty things! Rejoice, and climb like me! THE OLD ABBEY CHURCH, HADDINGTON.

Satire in the Songs of Renart Le Nouvel
Author: John Dickinson HainesPublisher: Droz Librairie
ISBN: 9782600013246
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
This book places the songs of Renart le nouvel in the broader context of this late medieval romance. As argued here, Renart le nouvel was written in two different stages, its first book around 1260 and its second around 1300. The first book presents situations and animals that stand for key events and characters in 1250s Flanders, mostly pertaining to the famous quarrel of the Avesnes and Dampierre families. The second book ushers in a more apocalyptic mood that reflects the deteriorating political situation in Flanders in the final decades of the thirteenth century. The songs of Renart le nouvel give voice both to a mounting apocalyptic mood and to a related cynicism towards courtly love. As the embodiment of duplicity, Renart the fox sings an especially cynical song, one that is ultimately passed on to an animal that makes a brief appearance in our romance but is soon destined for fame: Fauvel the ass. In particular, the emerging genre of the motet expresses the duplicitous and satirical spirits of the fox and the ass. French text.
