We are surrounded by sounds all the time, but we tend not to hear
them; our brains are very good at editing what our ears pick up. If we
stop for a moment to listen, there they are: the ticking clock, traffic
noise, fragments of conversation, a passing plane. These are examples of
what the American composer John Cage called “illegal harmony”.
In
response to the noisiest century in history, modern composers have
consistently flown in the face of musical orthodoxy. As technology has
changed at an unprecedented rate, so have musical styles – sometimes to
the dismay of audiences and critics.
In Illegal Harmonies,
Andrew Ford charts the course of music in the concert hall and opera
house over the last hundred years, linking it to developments in
literature, theatre, cinema and the visual arts, and to popular music
from Irving Berlin to the Beatles to rap. The result is a stimulating,
provocative and informative cultural history. This revised third edition
includes a new preface and extended epilogue, bringing the story into
the twenty-first century.
