Granary Books is pleased to announce that ARCANA: MUSICIANS ON MUSIC
edited by John Zorn is back in stock after a two year hiatus.
Answering a need for critical attention towards experimental and
avant-garde music, ARCANA is a ground-breaking work -- as far-ranging
and dynamic as the current generation of musicians. Through
manifestoes, scores, interviews, notes, and critical papers,
performer/composers address composing, playing, improvising, teaching,
and thinking through music. Rather than an attempt to distill or define
musicians' work, ARCANA illuminates with personal vision and
experience. ARCANA is a remarkable book -- challenging and original --
essential for composers, musicians, theorists, and fans alike.
"ARCANA is vibrant testimony to the continuing vitality of new music.
These exciting young composers are as idiosyncratic and eloquent with
words as they are with music." -- Meredith Monk
