The BBC planned a ‘Stravinsky Day’ on Radio 3 to mark the occasion, with over five hours of programming and features on the Saturday after the anniversary. In the event, the programming was delayed for two weeks as the news came in of the death of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. All BBC schedules were turned over to playing solemn music and identical news reports, a move which attracted the largest number of complaints the BBC has ever received. There is some faint poetry to discern in the parallels between the death and funerals of the Duke of Edinburgh and the death of Stravinsky back in 1971. Both occasions elicited very public outpourings of grief and various commentators marking the ‘end of an era’; on Stravinsky’s death, musicians, composers, and even politicians made press releases to express their sympathies, including the White House. Both deaths invited reflections on the direction and very existence of their respective spheres: contemporary composition and the monarchy. With the Stravinsky quinquagenary falling this year, it is perhaps inevitable that we would see several new publications released to coincide. One of these, Stravinsky in Context, edited by GrahamGriffiths, is a remarkable taking of the pulse of Stravinsky Studies over the last few years. There has been no shortage of books on Stravinsky, of course: there is perhaps no other twentieth-century composer who has received more scholarly attention. Edited essay volumes have been plentiful in recent years, including Stravinsky and His World; the 2013 anniversary of The Rite of Spring brought about at least two essay collections dedicated to that infamous piece alone. Unlike most other edited collections, however, Stravinsky in Context contains many essays: thirty-five, to be exact. Such a quantity might instantly make one think of large tomes along the lines of Routledge Companions, but that is not the case here; indeed, Stravinsky in Context barely tips over 300 pages. Instead, each contribution is a micro-essay, barely numbering 10 pages or so. For some authors, this clearly provides remarkable freedom while for others it evidently means limitations.","PeriodicalId":43259,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth-Century Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48959885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

My name is Jessica Bissett Perea and I am Upper Tikahtnu (Cook Inlet) Dena’ina and an enrolled member of the Knik Tribe from southcentral Alaska. I was born in Dgheyaytnu, or what is currently known as Anchorage, and raised on my ancestral homelands. I currently live on Chochenyo Ohlone lands or Xučyun (currently known as Berkeley, California). I currently work on Patwin lands or Putah-toi (currently known as Davis, California). In academic contexts, I identify as an interdisciplinary musician-scholar. I am a double bassist and vocalist with earned degrees in Music Education (BME from Central Washington University), Music History (MA from the University of Nevada), and Musicology (PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles). I am currently an Associate Professor and Graduate Advisor in Native American Studies at the University of California, Davis, and my three core areas of research expertise include: (1) Indigenous-led research methodologies and theories, including writing and editorial praxes; (2) Indigeneitycentred approaches to performance, improvisation, media, and sensory studies; and (3) arts and activism in North Pacific and Circumpolar Arctic communities specifically, and between Indigenous, Black, and Peoples of Colour communities more broadly. To contextualize this review of Dylan Robinson’s Hungry Listening: Resonant Theory for Indigenous Sound Studies (2020), it is important that I begin with the preceding explanations of (some of) the relationalities I bring to this work. In theorizing ‘a range of encounters between Indigenous song and Western art music (also called classical music or concert music)’ (1) more broadly, or Native North American song and European art music more specifically, Hungry Listening traces a multitude of encounters that require new forms of attention to better account for ‘aesthetic and structural encounters that take place within music composition and performance; listening encounters that take place between the listening","PeriodicalId":43259,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth-Century Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42840051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
