Andere tijden, andere leiders?

Een beschrijving en analyse van leiderschapspraktijken op het bovenschoolse niveau

Liesbeth Piot

Praktische gids over schoolleiderschap voor onderzoekers en directeurs In Andere tijden, andere leiders? gaat Liesbeth Piot in op de gevolgen van schaalvergroting voor schoolleiderschap, met name in scholengemeenschappen. Aan de hand van een uitgebreide literatuurstudie en enkele concrete situaties uit de praktijk concludeert de auteur dat het schoolleiderschap wel degelijk aan verandering onderhevig is. Directeurs van scholengemeenschappen dienen afwegingen te maken tussen wat in het belang is van hun school en in hoeverre dit te verenigen is met belangen van anderen. Terwijl tegengestelde belangen er soms toe leiden dat directeurs zich terugtrekken uit een samenwerking, biedt een scholengemeenschap hen tegelijkertijd ook een belangrijke bron van ondersteuning doordat ze deel uitmaken van een groep van gelijkwaardige collega’s waarmee ze hun (emotionele) ervaringen kunnen delen. Het boek biedt een overzicht van de factoren die een rol spelen bij het bovenschoolse leiderschap en wil zo een gids vormen voor onderzoekers en directeurs.

Unsayable Music

Six Reflections on Musical Semiotics, Electroacoustic and Digital Music

Paulo C. Chagas

Profound theoretical and philosophical approach to contemporary music Unsayable Music presents theoretical, critical and analytical reflections on key topics of contemporary music including acoustic, electroacoustic and digital music, and audiovisual and multimedia composition. Six essays by Paulo C. Chagas approach music from different perspectives such as philosophy, sociology, cybernetics, musical semiotics, media, and critical studies. Chagas’s practical experience, both as a composer of contemporary music and sound director of the Electronic Music Studio of Cologne, nourishes his observations on the specific creativity that emerges with the use of the technical apparatus, the development of the electronic music studio, the different aesthetics of electroacoustic music, and the forms of audiovisual and multimedia composition. The title Unsayable Music is a reference to Wittgenstein, who suggested that sound is only the surface of music and that the musical work conceals something more profound that can hardly be described by philosophical models or scientific theories. ‘Paulo C. Chagas is one of those remarkable composers well versed not only in the methods and means of musical creation but also in theoretical issues of aesthetics, semiotics, mathematics, and philology. This book displays an exceptional grasp of a wide range of complex theoretical and philosophical issues, all of them nonetheless directly connected to the act of composing music.’ – Walter Clark, University of California, Riverside

paulo c. chagas is Professor of Composition at the University of California, Riverside, member of the International Project on Music Signification, and composer of acoustic, electroacoustic, and audiovisual music. He is active in Europe, Brazil, and the United States.

Orpheus Institute 11 The history of musical improvisation from the late Middle Ages to the early Baroque Studying improvised music is always a challenge, due to its volatility and unpredictability. But what about studying musical improvisation from before the age of sound recordings? In this book three experts give their view on aspects of musical improvisation in the late medieval, renaissance, and early baroque periods. Historical sources show us how improvisation was an integral part of music education and how closely improvisation and composition were linked. This gives new insights into the way music was played in its original historical context and a new way to look at written scores from the past. Improvising Early Music will appeal to anyone interested in the historical background of our written musical heritage, and to musicians who want to gain a deeper insight in the way this music was created.

Ohne Worte

Vocality and Instrumentality in 19th-Century Music

Jean-Pierre Bartoli, Hubert Moßburger, Jeanne Roudet, Douglass Seaton, Edoardo Torbianelli Edited by William Brooks

The musical thought and practice of canonical composers What can music tell us – without words? Can it depict scenes, narrate stories, elucidate beliefs? And can it be an instrument through which we access the inner lives not only of musicians from the past but of ourselves, today? In Ohne Worte five scholars and performers probe these and related questions to illuminate both the experience and performance of nineteenthcentury music. Drawing on a rich range of sources, they reveal the musical thought and practice of canonical composers like Berlioz, Mendelssohn, and Schumann. Their work challenges us to reconsider our musical practices and the voices manifested in them, and it encourages the creation of an art that is both historical and transcendental.
