Visualizing Music
Eric Isaacson
To feel the emotional force of music, we experience it in performance, but how can we visually share a piece of music?
Visualizing Music explores how to communicate effectively about music through images. Eric Isaacson argues that musical images leverage the metaphors that help us understand music-for instance, pitches as objects and time flowing left to right. In studying these symbolic musical representations and a wide variety of individual musical parameters, depictions of musical spaces, stylistic influences, and more, Isaacson offers a guide to understanding what makes them effective or ineffective. He presents over 300 images from historical sources and recent scholarship, with examples and theories from Western art music, world music, and popular music, and explores the decisions made around their creation. What pertinent information was included or omitted and at what cost? What technical strengths are in the design? What alternatives were there?
Visualizing Music allows music scholars to better understand the power of musical images to fix the ephemeral into something concrete. -- Indiana University Press
