Music historiography Donald Jay Grout Claude V Palisca J Peter Burkholder A History of Western Music pedagogy My dissertation plumbs the historiographical underpinnings, narrative strategies, and critical reception of Donald J. Grout, Claude V. Palisca, and J. Peter Burkholder's <i>A History of Western Music</i> (HWM) by employing Hans Kellner's theory of the <i>middleground</i>—that space between documents (<i>background</i>) and the fine tuned narrative (<i>foreground</i>)—and Hayden White’s system of epistemological analysis. Archival research at Cornell, Yale, and Indiana Universities has identified documents establishing each author’s <i>middleground</i>, disclosing his method for choosing subjects, exercising “objectivity,” and narrating music history. The historiographical and pedagogical writings of Grout, Palisca, and Burkholder, in addition to a diachronic study of HWM’s eight editions, reveal each author’s use of language as evinced by emplotment, formal argument, ideological implication, and trope. “Getting the story crooked” about a textbook that has served the discipline since 1960 reveals fault lines within the development of American musicology at large and HWM in particular. 2013-09-30 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1367943430 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1367943430 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
