David Lewin's Generalized Musical Intervals and Transformations is recognized as the seminal work paving the way for current studies in mathematical and systematic approaches to music analysis. Lewin, one of the 20th century's most prominent figures in music theory, pushes the boundaries of the study of pitch-structure beyond its conception as a static system for classifying and inter-relating chords and sets. Known by most music theorists as "GMIT", the book is by far the most si...

Throughout his career, David Lewin labored to make even the most abstract theory speak to the experience of the ordinary listener. This book combines many of Lewin's classic articles on song and opera with newly drafted chapters on songs of Brahms, Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, and Milton Babbitt. Bound together by Lewin's cogent insight, the resulting collection constitutes a major statement concerning the methodological problems associated with interpretation of texted music.

Du är mer än du anar. Och du kommer att bli förundrad. Denna tidlösa berättelse om människorna i en dal vid Medelhavet är ingen vanlig roman, även om det på ytan kan förefalla så. Berättelsen är ett holistiskt pussel där svaren på livets frågor visar sig hänga ihop när alla bitarna lagts på plats. Det förälskade paret Amare och Alejo, den filosofiske trädgårdsmästaren och före detta sjömannen Vide, den obeveklige entreprenören Maius, den vetenskapligt hängivne läkaren Medicus, den unge, ob...

Educational Philosophy for a Post-secular Age reinterprets post-secular insights for educational theory by recognising that the persistence of religion in contemporary life raises new questions about the place of religion in education. Two common assumptions are critically examined: first, that the better educated a society becomes, the more secular it becomes, and second, that religion can and should be separated from public education. For too long, religion has had an uneasy rel...

Arguably one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music theory, David Lewin (1933-2003) revolutionized the field through his work on transformational theory and theoretical methodology.

The essay was central to Lewin's graduate teaching, and copies of it ...
