Arts Music Instrument

This collection of essays by musicologists and art historians explores the reciprocal influences between music and painting during the nineteenth century, a critical period of gestation when instrumental music was identified as the paradigmatic expressive art and theoretically aligned with painting in the formulation ut pictura musica (as with music, so with painting). Under music's influence, painting approached the threshold of abstraction; concurrently many composers cultivated pictorial effects in their music. Individual essays address such themes as visualization in music, the literary vs. pictorial basis of the symphonic poem, musical pictorialism in painting and lithography, and the influence of Wagner on the visual arts. In these and other ways, both composers and painters actively participated in interarts discourses in seeking to redefine the very identity and aims of their art.

When William Malm published his wide-ranging study of traditional Japanese music in 1959, it was the first time in the twentieth century that such work had been carried out in a Western language. Malm's book has still not been replaced as the single most interesting and authoritative text on the subject. But until now it was never revised or updated, nor were its illustrations ever changed. With the present publication, however, an extensively improved edition that includes a CD of sample music has been made available. Professor Malm's aim has always been to attract the layman reader as well as the musicologist, which has given this book its strength and durability. The writing is lively and personal, and is accompanied by a generous number of drawings and photos of players and their instruments. The book opens with a historical outline of Japan's musical life, then moves on to its religious music, Shinto and Buddhist; its court music; the music of the Noh drama; and the music of specific instruments: biwa, shakuhachi, koto, and shamisen. After examining the components of Kabuki music, it closes with a chapter on folk music and the music of other cultures in Japan. And to put all this in a practical context, a CD is provided, giving examples of these different forms. Whether your interest is in a particular form of Japanese music -- the marvelous sonority of the bamboo flute, for example -- or in music in general, Malm's book will more than satisfy your curiosity.
