Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This provocative study is situated at the intersection of the history, historiography, and aesthetics of twentieth-century music. It uses Benjamin Britten's operas to illustrate the ways in which composers, critics, and audiences mediated the 'great divide' between modernism and mass culture. Reviving midcentury discussions of the 'middlebrow,' Christopher Chowrimootoo demonstrates how these works allowed audiences to have their modernist cake and eat it too: to revel in the pleasures of consonance, lyricism, and theatrical spectacle even while enjoying the prestige that came from rejecting them. By focusing on key moments when reigning aesthetic oppositions and hierarchies threatened to collapse, Middlebrow Modernism offers a powerful model for recovering shades of gray in the previously black-and-white historiographies of twentieth-century music"--Provided by publisher.California studies in 20th-century music ;24.Music20th centuryPhilosophy and estheticsModernism (Music)History20th centuryOpera20th centuryMusicPhilosophy and esthetics.Modernism (Music)HistoryOpera782.1092Chowrimootoo Christopher1985-1023318MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910293134103321Middlebrow Modernism2430974UNINA
