Sinopsis
Excerpt from Our Marching Civilization: An Introduction to the Study of Music and Society
When I came to the history of the march, however, the materials available were so rich and as yet so unassembled that the temptation grew to devote a project to it. The march is not only a musical form; it is in itself suggestive of the condition we have set up for civilization. Mankind is civilized, we believe, when it shows capacity for progress, for getting out of the rut in which a vegetating culture is content, for lifting weaker members to their feet so they may go ahead with the strong to higher levels of living in thought and in action. We therefore speak automatically of the march of this or that whenever we mean that this or that has been improved or has itself improved the life of man.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of the history of the march and its profound influence over the development of societies throughout history. The author traces the origins of the march in ancient percussive instruments such as drums, which have been used to stir up excitement, signal commands, and provide a sense of communal rhythm since time immemorial. The book also explores the role of brass and reed instruments in military marches, which have historically been used to convey a sense of power and determination. The author discusses the evolution of the march in different cultural contexts, from the processional marches of the Middle Ages to the dance-marches of the Renaissance and the triumphant marches of the Baroque era. The book also examines the role of the march in shaping national identity and fostering a sense of progress and unity, especially during times of war and social upheaval. The author concludes by reflecting on the ways in which the march has been used as a tool for both oppression and liberation, and the complex relationship between music, power, and social change. This book offers valuable insights into the ways in which music has shaped the course of human history and continues to play a significant role in shaping our collective identities and aspirations.
