Presentation on World Music
Dear Visitors to My Blog,
Welcome! I'll be posting messages on a regular basis concerning World Music and what all music has in common--what makes people feel the beauty of music. As a first posting, I'd like you to know of a presentation I gave at a conference at the University of Graz in Austria last spring. It was a conference sponsored by ESCOM, and I co-authored this presentation with the anthropologist Arnold Perey. We titled it: "Aesthetic Realism: A New Foundation for Interdisciplinary Musicology." The reason for the fancy title is that it was a conference dedicated to "Interdisciplinary Musicology"--but I assure you Arnold Perey and I write plain English most of the time. I think you'll enjoy it; our purpose was to show that within the gorgeous and fascinating diversity of World Music, there is something that makes all music akin.

I teach at the Manhattan School of Music and the Aesthetic Realism Foundation.
