Theory : 20th Century

The Music of John Cage (Music in the Twentieth Century) by James Pritchett, Arnold Whittall click to enlarge

The Music of John Cage (Music in the Twentieth Century)

James Pritchett, Arnold Whittall
Providing a historical account of John Cage's musical concerns and changing style, James Pritchett describes just what it was Cage did and why and how he did it. The book is centred around extensive descriptions of the most important works and compositional techniques, including in-depth explanations of the role of chance and indeterminacy in Cage's music. Dr Pritchett also considers the relationship of Cage's musical thought to his interests in such diverse subjects as Eastern philosophy and religion, Marshall McLuhan, and anarchism (among many others).
