Opis
'A sensational book. Chan roves across her vast subject with confidence and grace, thrilling the reader with one eye-opening insight after another. I will never see art, and hear music, in quite the same way again' - James Fox, author of The World According to Colour
An ancient shaman raises a conch shell to her lips in a painted cave. A Benedictine monk maps musical pitch on his hand. A scholar in a Shaolin monastery bends over a manuscript and invents a musical scale. A twenty-first century pop star takes her seat at a candy-floss pink piano.
Music is interwoven into the fabric of our lives. We listen to it. Some of us play it. And from the earliest traces of human existence, we have attempted to capture it – in the instruments we decorate, the spaces we perform in, in kaleidoscopic paintings, medieval illuminated manuscripts and haute couture.
In this startlingly original history of music, classically trained musician, art historian and BBC Next Generation Thinker Dr Eleanor Chan takes us on an unforgettable journey through sound and vision that will forever change the way we see music.
PRAISE FOR DUET
'Scholarly, moving and with an epic scope, Chan's work shows why music is at the core of what it means to be human' - Paul Cooper, author of Fall of Civilizations
'A mind-expanding exploration of music as a history of human interactions with the world... Erudite, beautifully written and bursting with ideas, Chan’s Duet opens our ears and eyes to the deep, creative entanglements of music and the visual arts' - Dr Jill Burke, author of How to be a Renaissance Woman
'A swooping, capacious and beautiful history of how we see music, of the intrinsic connection of eye and ear. The scope is breathtaking: no genre, context, or artefact seems out of bounds for Chan’s brilliant and insightful analysis... Duet is a testament to the musicality and artistry of the human experience and, frankly, I wish there were more books like this' - Emily MacGregor, author of While the Music Lasts
