Musical Inspiration As Seen Through The Artist's Eyes, Antoni Pizà
Musical Inspiration As Seen Through The Artist's Eyes, Antoni Pizà
Publications and Research
The role of inspiration in the creation of a musical work has been a matter for conjecture and research by musicians and psychologists. But the realm of inspiration belongs to the creators themselves, who supply mythology, religion, and science to account for the source of an artwork. Throughout history, painters, too, have given their version of musical inspiration and the process of the creation of the work of art. What is musical inspiration? Where does it come from? What are its effects? The following essay explores some painters' responses by surveying some representative works of art.
Modal Harmony In Andalusian, Eastern European, And Turkish Syncretic Musics, Peter L. Manuel
Modal Harmony In Andalusian, Eastern European, And Turkish Syncretic Musics, Peter L. Manuel
Publications and Research
This article examined, in a cursory form, the standardized ways of harmonizing predominantly modal melodies in the contexts of a set of interrelated urban folk and popular musics of the Mediterranean area. Insofar as these music employ a harmonic-melodic system qualitatively distinct from that of Western common practice, they are worthy of scholarly attention in themselves. This article further seeks to revive the spirit of "Comparative Musicology" and to suggest ways in which cross-cultural comparison of selected musical parameters may reveal new sorts of pan-regional music areas.

Andalusian, Gypsy, And Class Identity In The Contemporary Flamenco Complex, Peter L. Manuel
Andalusian, Gypsy, And Class Identity In The Contemporary Flamenco Complex, Peter L. Manuel
Publications and Research
This article endeavors to illustrate the important role played by flamenco and related subgenres in expressing and, to a considerable extent, helping to shape modern Andalusian identity. In this way we will attempt to demonstrate how musical style as well as text content can function not merely as passive reflections of broader sociocultural phenomena that shape them, but also as active contributors to the processes of cultural change.
