The separation of science and music began with the scientific revolution during the Renaissance, and reached a peak with Romanticism, which celebrated what was human, individual and local. 20th-century science and music, argues Jamie James in this book, have rejected the Romantic ideal and placed the ultimate focus outside the reach of human reason once again. The book provides a survey of the history of science and music, a reassessment of Romanticism and the modernist reaction to it, and a radical intellectual journey.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Music Dance & Theatre, Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 1995 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
