Awoke today with a persistent question in mind -
I'd really like to gather some objective literature on the nature of beauty as it applies to the arts and music. Surely elements of beauty are both inherent and learned, as perception of beauty varies by the individual or society, while other mathematical elements such as the golden mean suggest beauty can be an intrinsic value as well.
A quick Googling turned up citations from Listening to Popular Music, Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Led Zeppelin by Theodore Gracyk, University of Michigan Press, 2007. The book examines:
- Separating Aesthetics from Art
- Taste and Musical Identity
- Aesthetic Principles and Aesthetic Properties
- Appreciating Valuing and Evaluating Music
Readings like these will help me become a more objective and critical music journalist.
Happy Sunday everyone.
