The Hidden Musicians

The Hidden Musicians PDF Author: Ruth Finnegan
Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
ISBN: 0819574465
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 407

Book Description
A landmark in the study of music and culture, this acclaimed volume documents the remarkable scope of amateur music-making in the English town of Milton Keynes. It presents in vivid detail the contrasting yet overlapping worlds of classical orchestras, church choirs, brass bands, amateur operatic societies, and amateur bands playing jazz, rock, folk, and country. Notable for its contribution to wider theoretical debates and its influential challenge to long-held assumptions about music and how to study it, the book focuses on the practices rather than the texts or theory of music, rejecting the idea that only selected musical traditions, "great names," or professional musicians are worth studying. This opens the door to the invisible work put in by thousands of local people of diverse backgrounds, and how the pathways creatively trodden by amateur musicians have something to tell us about both urban living and what it is to be human. Now with a new preface by the author, this long-awaited reissue of The Hidden Musicians will bring its insights and innovations to a new generation of students and scholars.

Book Description
The ability to experience beauty in life is normal and natural. Unfortunately, few people are able to experience it due to the difficulties and personal issues in our lives. This book is about recognizing these problems and providing solutions so that life can be experienced in its natural and most beautiful state. Music is beauty. I have been a professional musician most of my life; therefore I have a great well of information to draw from. This book will open your mind to the unlimited sources of beauty available by taking you through an intensive journey into beliefs, the inner world of perception, the nature of reality and the nature of change, all done through unique methods and philosophies. I have had two major open-heart surgeries, the most recent one while writing this book. My aorta ruptured because of a weakness caused by the first surgery and almost killed me requiring extensive recovery time. Having gone through this, I decided to let the words in this book help me by approaching it as if it were written by someone else. With the help this book has given me, I feel confident that it can help others as well. I have chosen subjects that I believe are the most important to gaining personal satisfaction, finding peace and placing readers in a state of mind that enables them to experience beauty in life. I hope you will enjoy it!
