Abstract

The author reviews The Art of Songwriting, written by veteran songwriter Andrew West, who oversees a postgraduate course at Leeds College of Music. The book benefits greatly from the author’s encyclopaedic knowledge of songs and songwriters, and a rich variety of examples permeates the book. As a result, the book is not a simple ‘how-to’ volume, but rather captures the rich diversity of approaches and techniques professional songwriters employ. A different, tighter organizational scheme might help the book’s wisdom be digestible for the reader to consolidate and retain all the knowledge the book has to offer. Still, the book is a welcome contribution to an understudied field, especially as music education scholars seek to diversify the musics that define school music teaching and learning.
《歌曲创作的艺术》,安德鲁·韦斯特(2016)
作者回顾了资深词曲作者安德鲁·韦斯特所著的《歌曲创作的艺术》,他在利兹音乐学院监督一门研究生课程。这本书得益于作者对歌曲和词曲作者的百科全书式的知识,书中充斥着丰富多样的例子。因此,这本书不是一本简单的“如何”的书,而是捕捉了专业词曲作者使用的丰富多样的方法和技术。一个不同的、更紧密的组织方案可能有助于读者理解书中的智慧,从而巩固和保留书中所提供的所有知识。尽管如此,这本书对一个研究不足的领域是一个受欢迎的贡献,尤其是在音乐教育学者试图使定义学校音乐教学的音乐多样化的时候。
