Description

Song Means explores the theoretical foundations and practical applications of popular music analysis, addressing a critical gap in musicological scholarship. As popular music study has matured into an established discipline over the past twenty years, this volume moves beyond surface-level musical detail to answer the larger question: so what? The book examines the consequences of music theory and analysis in popular song, providing scholars and students with frameworks to understand how analysis translates into meaningful interpretation. Part of the respected Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series, it bridges the divide between descriptive musicology and interpretive scholarship, offering both established academics and emerging researchers the tools to engage critically with recorded popular music and its cultural significance.

Part of the Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series, a recognised academic resource for popular and folk music studies.

Designed for both established scholars and students seeking frameworks for interpreting popular music critically.
