Feminist Theories—Process and Continua
Year: 1994
Type: article
Abstract: Feminist music theories can usefully include concepts of relationship, reflexivity, contextuality and subjectivity. These theories can support diversity and individual experience through celebrating performance and ritual, and can explore process along with structure. Two songs of Parton illustrate relationships of modality and tonality. The songs support comparison and contrast of culturally-accepted means of expansions of tonal centers. Twentieth-century poets such as Frost and Rushin illuminate relationships and the stress they can bring to the originators. Recent compositions and writings of Larsen and Tower add to our music theoretic concepts.
