Book synopsis

In this doctoral dissertation, originally from 2001,§Björn Heile analyses Mauricio Kagel s groundbreaking§cycle Die Stücke der Windrose für Salonorchester§(1989-95) by relating it to Mikhail Bakhtin s theory§of dialogics and the postcolonial criticism of Edward§Said. In a wide-ranging study, which includes§in-depth investigations of primary sources such as§the sketch materials and an interview with the§composer, Heile develops a typology of cross-cultural§musical representation which serves as the framework§for a discussion of the different ways Kagel engages§with his source materials. Throughout, the author§moves between such issues as compositional technique,§aesthetic questions, such as Kagel s challenge to§traditional notions of authorship, and the§ideological implications of cross-cultural musical§representation, which are interpreted in the light of§recent discourses. By developing pioneering§methodological approaches to cross-cultural§composition, which has become a prominent feature of§contemporary Western concert music, the book serves§as a significant and innovative contribution to§current discourses surrounding the musical§representation of otherness .
