Thought and Play in Musical Rhythm offers a fresh perspective on musical rhythm by examining and contrasting diverse repertoires, performance practices, and theories as they are formulated and communicated through speech or writing. The editors, Richard K. Wolf, Stephen Blum, and Christopher Hasty, address a productive tension in musical studies between universalistic and culturally relevant approaches to rhythm. In response to common notions in Western music pedagogy, the essays explore a wide range of perspectives on rhythm, including its status as an element of music that can be meaningfully abstracted from timbre, tone, and harmony; its associations with regularity (or, by contrast, its perception as what we hear against the backdrop of background regularity); and its unique embodiment in percussion parts.
Unique among studies of musical rhythm, this collection pays close attention to how performers and listeners conceptualize aspects of rhythm and challenges many established categories for describing rhythm. By focusing on local concepts, the listener is enabled to dispel assumptions about how music generally works and to perceive tensions, distinctions, and aesthetic principles that might otherwise go unnoticed. Readers can expect to be surprised, become more aware of their assumptions, and/or develop new approaches to challenge their students and shake them out of complacency.
