Reading Music: Further Adventures in Creative Musicology

Kefala-Kerr, John (2010) Reading Music: Further Adventures in Creative Musicology. In: 42nd Baltic Musicology Conference, 28-29 Oct 2010, Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Music Academy, Riga, Latvia.

Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item (Paper)

Abstract

This paper considers words and music in close proximity: how ‘words about music’ might occupy themselves in ways other than as ‘mere’ exegesis, and how ‘music about words’ might challenge music’s assumed self-sufficiency. Through examples of my work in ‘creative musicology’, I explore that hinterland where literary-poetic writing borders musicology. An underlying premise of the article is that the products of musical creation are always already ‘critical work done’.
