Böcker av Robert Adlington

This book offers the first in-depth study of how musicians have sought to embody democracy through musical processes and relationships. Author Robert Adlington uses modern democratic theory to explore what he terms 'musical modelling of democracy' as manifested in modern and experimental music of the global North, and interrogates the contingencies and interests on which such visions of democracy are premised.

Louis Andriessen is one of the foremost living composers in the world today. De Statt (The Republic) brought Andriessen to international attention in 1976, and it remains his best known work. This book is the first extended, single-author study of Andriessen in any language. CD recording of the work is also included.
