Description: Music of Michael Nyman : Texts, Contexts and Intertexts, Hardcover by Pwyll Ap Siôn, ISBN 1859282105, ISBN-13 9781859282106, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Siôn (music, U. of North Wales, UK) analyzes the works and compositional methods of composer Michael Nyman. Nyman's music is criticized for quoting too much, he says, and argues that it should be analyzed differently, not in terms of the traditional view of creative individuality but based on their context: his background and upbringing, student compositions, work as a critic, and general aesthetic and stylistic bases. The notion of intertextuality and how it relates to Nyman's music is discussed, focusing on specific areas, genres, and compositions, such as film collaborations with Peter Greenaway, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Facing Goya, string quartets, and the score for The Piano.
