Series: Musical Cultures of the Twentieth Century

Music-Dance explores the identity of choreomusical work, its complex authorship and its modes of reception as well as the cognitive processes involved in the reception of dance performance. Scholars of dance and music analyse the ways in which a musical score changes its prescriptive status when it becomes part of a choreographic project, the encounter between sound and motion on stage, and the intersection of listening and seeing. As well as being of interest to musicologists and choreologists considering issues such as notation, multimedia and the analysis of performance, this volume will appeal to scholars interested in applied research in the fields of cognition and neuroscience. The line-up of authors comprises representative figures of today’s choreomusicology, dance historians, scholars of twentieth-century composition and specialists in cognitive science and performance studies. Among the topics covered are multimedia and the analysis of performance; the notational practice of choreographers and the parallel attempts of composers to find a graphic representation for musical gestures; and the experience of dance as a paradigm for a multimodal perception, which is investigated in terms of how the association of sound and movement triggers emotions and specific forms of cognition.

Reviews for Music-Dance: Sound and Motion in Contemporary Discourse

On dealing with many of the current questions about the relationship between music and dance, this book spurs a large number of reflections on the topic. Historical and aesthetical approaches, essays analysing the field through the tools provided by neuroscience, and others considering the choreomusical performance in its entirety, all contribute to take into consideration and prompt new choreomusical collaborations between dance scholars and music scholars, and this in parallel to what currently happens with dancers and musicians, choreographers and composers.
