Refreshingly free of jargon and the abstruse mathematical equations that characterize so many works of a speculative nature, this insightful study utilizes masterworks of twentieth-century music as the bases for discussion and analysis.Analytic Approaches is organized into four units. The first focuses on aspects of musical structure other than pitch, such as rhythm, texture, timbre, form, and relationship of tonal music to the musics of our time. Units 2 and 3 deal with pitch structure: Unit 2 with pitch-class sets and Units 3 with serial music. Unit 4 contains a survey of music of the most recent generation.The author admits freely that the perception of a work of art is a personal matter. In this book, he does not pretend to teach "the" way to listen to or to analyze contemporary music. Rather, he seeks to lead the reader to more informed listening through an understanding of how musical materials are used achieve both sonic and expressive effects.

The idea that the twenty-first century will be "Asian" in the same way the twentieth century was "American" is widely repeated but rarely scrutinized. In fact, this assumption is not only overly simplistic--it may actually fuel the very geopolitical rivalry that poses the greatest risk to Asia's stability and prosperity: the strategic competition between the United States and China.While Asia is undoubtedly becoming more influential in global affairs--mirroring earlier eras of European dominance and America's continued global reach--the notion of an "Asian Century" obscures more than it reveals. This paper examines the many economic, political, demographic, and security complexities hidden within the phrase and argues that no single continent can define the future. Instead, the century ahead will be shaped by a dynamic interplay of regional and global forces that defies easy characterization.
