The book offers global critical perspectives on a wide range of conceptual and practical issues in music education as they apply to various forms of feminist perspectives in music teaching and learning within schools and communities.

Music Performers' Lived Experiences
The two volumes on Music Performers' Lived Experiences seeks to widen this research area through close investigations of a variety of rich, complex and nuanced experiences classical music performers have qua performers, as they interact with musical scores, instruments, performance traditions, other musicking individuals, wider artistic and cultural discourses, norms and beliefs.The two volumes aim to "humanise" music performers and contribute towards shaping a more performer-centred discipline of Music Performance Studies. The first volume, Music Performers' Lived Experiences: Theory, Method, Interpretation, brings together internationally renowned scholars, who capture and scrutinise, through a variety of methods, a wide range of experiences performers have--as well as the personally meaningful lived experience narratives performers construct--presenting vivid portraits of music performers as artists situated in unique socio-cultural, historical, embodied and discursive contexts. The topics discussed include the construction of the idea of "the composer" from lived experiences of performing, manifestations of wisdom in the ways performers make sense of their experiences, joys of sight-reading, performer agency, lived experience as the basis of performance analysis, emotional labour of working with controversial repertoire, performance anxiety dreams of music performers, experience of working across musical genres, the nature of intersubjective experiences in music-making, absorption, and subjective bodily sensations in performance.Readers will come away from the book with fresh insights about and an enhanced understanding of the infinitely rich lifeworld of music performers.Chapter 9 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http: //www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons (CC BY) 4.0 license.
Psychological and Social Aspects of the Tragedy of Suicide
This scholarly monograph, Psychological and Social Aspects of the Tragedy of Suicide in English and Uzbek Literature, offers a comprehensive and methodologically grounded investigation into the representation of suicide as a multifaceted phenomenon within two distinct yet dialogically interconnected literary traditions. By drawing on a diverse corpus of texts-from canonical English works to emblematic Uzbek literary narratives-the study elucidates how suicide is constructed not only as a deeply personal and psychological experience but also as a socially mediated and culturally encoded act. It positions suicide within a complex matrix of literary aesthetics, sociocultural discourse, and human existential reflection.
Reforming Community
Ebook available to libraries exclusively as part of the JSTOR Path to Open initiative.The religious reforms of the mid-sixteenth century raised important questions about what it meant to be English in the Tudor period--after all, the medieval liturgy had been one of the few constants for English people of all ages and classes for centuries. Reforming Community examines the key role religious music played in the formation of English identity in the nation's capital as the governments of Edward VI and Mary I imposed competing religious agendas on a populace whose members held a plurality of views about reform. The book begins by examining the relationship between the "official" liturgical policies of Edward VI and Mary I and the practices of London's parish churches, demonstrating that those across the confessional spectrum relied on links to the Henrician past to redefine their worship spaces. In the public sphere, however, supporters of the Edwardine and Marian governments sometimes differed; though both turned to the new genre of godly ballads, the former shaped discourses around Englishness and religion by promoting scripture-based song, while the latter relied heavily on public processions to reinforce an explicitly Catholic identity. Reforming Community thus argues that in using specific music to assert confessional preferences, Londoners sought to forge their own understanding of their identities separate from Catholic (and Protestant) Europe.
The Karl Muck Scandal
The demonization, internment, and deportation of celebrated Boston Symphony Orchestra conductor Dr. Karl Muck, finally told, and placed in the context of World War I anti-German sentiment in the United States. BEST CLASSICAL MUSIC BOOK RELEASE OF 2019 by Classical-music.com, the official website of BBC Music Magazine. 2019 SUMMER READS ABOUT CLASSICAL MUSIC by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. 2019 BEST BOOK AWARD FINALIST in both the History and Performing Arts categories, sponsored by American Book Fest. 2019 SUBVENTION AWARD by the American Musicological Society, funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. One of the cherished narratives of American history is that of the Statue of Liberty welcoming immigrants to its shores. Accounts of the exclusion and exploitation of Chinese immigrants in the late nineteenth century and Japanese internment during World War II tell a darker story of American immigration. Less well-known, however, is the treatment of German-Americans and Germannationals in the United States during World War I. Initially accepted and even welcomed into American society at the outbreak of war, this group would face rampant intolerance and anti-German hysteria. Melissa D. Burrage's book illustrates this dramatic shift in attitude in her engrossing narrative of Dr. Karl Muck, the celebrated German conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, who was targeted and ultimately disgraced by a New York Philharmonic board member and by capitalists from that city who used his private sexual life as a basis for having him arrested, interned, and deported from the United States. While the campaign against Muck made national headlines, and is the main focus of this book, Burrage also illuminates broader national topics such as: Total War; State power; vigilante justice; internment and deportation; irresponsible journalism; sexual surveillance; attitudes toward immigration; anti-Semitism; and the development of America's musical institutions. The mistreatment of Karl Muck in the United States provides a narrative thread that connects these various wartime and postwar themes.

Joni Mitchell - Chords of Inquiry
A lyrical, research-driven portrait of Joni Mitchell that explores her music, words, and inner life through her own voice.Joni Mitchell, Chords of Inquiry is not just another biography--it's a lyrical, investigative journey into the mind and music of one of the most influential and enigmatic artists of our time. While countless writers have chronicled Joni Mitchell's life through the lens of fame, romance, or scandal, this book takes a radically different approach: it listens.Drawing from six decades of interviews, lyrics, public statements, and archival context, Chords of Inquiry weaves together Mitchell's own words to construct a narrative that is as complex, poetic, and fiercely honest as the artist herself. Rather than retelling her life in neat chapters, the book mirrors the rhythm of her creative evolution--unfolding like a Joni Mitchell album: rich with contradiction, beauty, heartbreak, and defiance.Through meticulous research and immersive storytelling, the book places Joni's personal journey within the larger cultural and political movements that shaped her, offering new insight into how she both influenced and resisted the times she lived through. From the windswept prairies of Saskatchewan to the smoky coffeehouses of Toronto and the rebellion of Laurel Canyon, this is the first biography that attempts to understand not just what Joni Mitchell did, but how she felt.No sensationalism. No filters. Just Joni--through her chords, her poetry, and the lens she gave us all along.
Joy Division and New Order
A definitive album-by-album history of Joy Division and New Order, tracing their evolution from post-punk darkness to pioneering pop innovation and enduring cultural legacy.Coming out of northern England in the late 1970s, few bands have had the impact and influence of Joy Division and New Order. Joy Division were formed in the slipstream of punk but, thanks to frontman Ian Curtis's singular voice and Martin Hannett's ambitious production, soon stretched beyond the genre's sonic limits to create something dark and new. After Curtis's heartbreaking suicide, the surviving members picked themselves up and created the future as New Order. Written by music critic and journalist Mayer Nissim (Digital Spy, Gold Radio, NME), Joy Division and New Order: Album by Album deep dives into both groups' studio albums, pulling together a comprehensive narrative of two of the most vital bands in pop history. From their rehearsals at TJ Davidson's in Manchester to their number one records, it takes you through their fallouts, reunions and fragmentations to their lasting legacy. This book includes extensive interviews with singer and guitarist Bernard Sumner and estranged bass player Peter Hook, alongside conversations with six key band collaborators: graphic designer Peter Saville, Scissor Sisters frontwoman Ana Matronic, producer Stephen Street, recording engineer Michael Johnson and filmmakers Charles Sturridge and Grant Gee. It also features photographs by Anton Corbijn and official group snapper Warren Jackson, as well as full colour reproductions of all Peter Saville's groundbreaking album sleeves and a complete discography of both bands.
Georadar Diagnostics of Road Pavement Condition
The monograph presents the theoretical foundations, methods, and practical approaches to processing ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey data for solving the problem of defectoscopy in flexible pavement, considered as a plane-layered structurally heterogeneous medium, and for further evaluation of its condition.The methods for assessing the structural reliability and risk of failure of flexible pavement based on GPR diagnostics involve incorporating GPR survey results into the calculations of the stress-strain state of the structure while accounting for its structural heterogeneity. This heterogeneity is associated with localized material discontinuities, statistical and probabilistic methods, and risk theory, allowing for the determination of structural reliability considering variations in geometric and physico-mechanical parameters.The practical defectoscopy methodology addresses the task of positioning subsurface cracks within the structure. The reliability and failure risk assessment methodology substantiates the parameters of the computational model and regulates the calculation procedures for structures with subsurface heterogeneities.
Characteristics of Ischemic Heart Disease in Men of Working Age
This monograph includes the latest modern data on coronary heart disease, the peculiarity of its course, etiopathogenetic risk factors predisposing to the development or progression of this disease, especially in men of working age. The literary review was compiled on the basis of modern literary sources from the CIS countries and foreign countries. When analyzing the literature, the authors were able to identify several predisposition factors for the development of coronary heart disease in working-age men, including dyslipidemia and cytokine imbalance. Based on our own clinical, laboratory, and immunological studies, we describe the characteristics of the clinical course and treatment strategies for coronary heart disease in working-age men, depending on etiopathogenetic risk factors.

Tales from Topographic Oceans - Yes Album Listening Guide
Tales from Topographic Oceans has been described as progressive rock's biggest and most difficult work. The story that surrounds its creation, challenging reception and troublesome but ground-breaking tour deserves careful and painstaking attention. In this book, Kevin Mulryne delves more deeply than ever before into the world of Yes in 1973. Combining original research with interviews of band members and technical staff, he has discovered myriad fascinating stories.Jon Anderson and Steve Howe steered the band to create this masterwork but Rick Wakeman, Chris Squire and Alan White added their own unique and essential ingredients to elevate the music into the stratosphere. From its mystical conceptual basis to its breathtaking instrumental, vocal and arranging virtuosity, Tales from Topographic Oceans stands as the pinnacle of Yes' progressive achievements.Over the four sides of this epic album, beautifully illustrated by Roger Dean, Yes achieved a work of musical creativity rarely if ever matched, before or since. Once the album was finished, the band went on the road to support it with a huge tour, featuring the first large-scale Roger and Martyn Dean stage scenery that paved the way for the concert spectaculars of the late 20th and 21st Century. The technical team Yes surrounded themselves with proved to be some of the greatest innovators of live music and many of them continue to break barriers today. This is a listening guide that places the iconic album in its true context for the first time - prepare to be amazed!
Van der Graaf Generator On Track
No progressive rock band could ever be said to be a household name, but Van der Graaf Generator, who celebrated their fiftieth anniversary in 2018, rarely enjoyed that distinction even in the households of many prog fans. VdGG, and the band's main creative force, Peter Hammill, only really had one foot in prog - the other pivoted between more straight-ahead rock, wild experimentation, and at times, brutal noise. While VdGG's initial run ended prematurely, the band eventually came full-circle, reforming in 2005 and still going strong. Both Hammill and VdGG have been lauded as musicians' musicians by such luminaries as Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Julian Cope, Mark E. Smith, and Johnny Rotten.This book will explore what these musicians, and legions of dedicated fans, found so inspiring over the years: all of the VdGG albums, including Pawn Hearts and Godbluff as well as several solo Hammill albums crucial to the VdGG story, are discussed in these pages, including a handful of essential live recordings, experiments, and collaborations. Nothing like this analysis of the band has been published before, and this book will prove an invaluable guide for navigating the Van der Graaf Generator sonic labyrinth.Dan Coffey is a librarian, critic, and poet. He has written extensively on experimental and avant-garde music for Avant Music News, Stereo Embers and Perfect Sound Forever, as well as publishing numerous book reviews for Foreword Magazine. He once interviewed VdGG in an electrical storm! Coffey lives in Iowa with his wife and son, and his ever-growing record collection.
