Editorial Review Product Description Harvey explores aspects of music that he connects with spirituality:self-identity, ambiguity, unity, stasis, and silence. In the course ofhis explorations he offers corroborating statements about music andspirituality from sources ranging from Nietzsche to Oliver Sacks. Thebook and CD include samples of his own music as well as ofcompositions by Mozart, Scriabin, Stockhausen, and others that help toillustrate the profoundness of what Harvey deems "the good listeningexperience." For Harvey, composing is his way of trying to live a life"skillfully" in the Buddhist sense. In Quest of Spirit is awindow into his creative world and provides a sense of what music canmean at the moment of its inception. "An important contribution to a deeper understanding of the music ofJonathan Harvey, recognized as one of the leading composers activetoday. In Quest of Spirit offers important analytical guidanceand intriguing interpretive insight into Harvey's compositions."--Kent Nagano, Music Director and Conductor, Halle Orchestra, Opera deLyon, and Berkeley Symphony Customer Reviews (2)
Quite good...if you like this sort of thing... If you don't know his music, but are drawn here bythe general topic of music and spirituality, you need to know what sort ofbook this is, and what sort of music is on the CD. The book is more of asketch than a thoroughly worked out study of this topic. Excluding themusical examples and footnotes, it is only about 88 pages long, and itcovers a great many topics, so it can hardly be expected to do more thanbriefly scratch the surface of each of these topics. But in brieflyscratching the surface, he does offer provocative hints at ideas that thereader can then research or think through in greater detail. These littlehints at ideas are often very good--he has interesting insights into Wagnerand Mahler, for example, and other 'traditional' composers...it's not allStockhausen and IRCAM. But they are never more than just hints at ideas,except when he is talking about his own music, when he does get into moredetail. This reads something like a journal of an artist...today I jot downthis thought, tomorrow a different thought. The music on the CD is Harveyand other examples of what some have called, accurately I think, 'difficultlistening.' This is avant-garde stuff, and make no mistake. I'm afraid thatI am something of a philistine in this area, and sometimes I like thedescriptions of the music more than the music itself. But that might changeif I heard the pieces in their full development rather than these excerpts.At any rate, including a CD with the book was a wonderful thing to do.Since the CD consists of brief musical excerpts, it resembles the book in'hinting at' musical ideas, and that's what it's intended to do. Havingexpressed my reservations, let me just add that Harvey comes across in thisbook as an astute listener and thinker, and he doesn't hide behind jargonor ambiguous language. There is a lot of candor in his discussion of hisown work, and considerable insight in the nuggets of ideas that aresprinkled on every page. It's just that it's up to the reader to take thesenuggets and develop them on your own.

Editorial Review Product Description Those who know McClary only as a feminist writer will discover her many other sides, but not at the expense of gender issues, which are smoothly integrated into the general argument. In considering the need for a different way of telling the story of Western music, Conventional Wisdom bravely tackles big issues concerning classical, popular, and postmodern repertoires and their relations to the broader musical worlds that create and enjoy them.
