第五卷目录：
The five-book series Studies in Musical Performance as Creative Practice has been published by Oxford University Press. These volumes challenge the notion that musical creativity is tied to composers and the works they produce by embracing and expanding the new understanding about musical and musicological thought and practice that has emerged in recent years. Internationally prominent researchers, performers, composers, music teachers and others explore a broad spectrum of topics including the creativity embodied in and projected through performance, how performances take shape over time, and how the understanding of musical performance as a creative practice varies across different global contexts, idioms and performance conditions. The series celebrates the diversity of musical performance studies, which has led to an increasingly important literature while also providing the potential for further engagement and exploration in the future.
These books have their origins in the work of the AHRC Research Centre for Musical Performance as Creative Practice (www.cm.ac.uk), which conducted an ambitious research programme from 2009 to 2014 focused on live musical performance and creative music-making. The Centre's close interactions with musicians across a range of traditions and at varying levels of expertise ensured the musical vitality and viability of its activities and outputs. CMPCP was based at the University of Cambridge and featured partnerships with the University of Oxford, King's College London, and Royal Holloway, University of London, as well as the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the Royal College of Music.
Like CMPCP itself, Studies in Musical Performance as Creative Practice was broadly conceived, and the five volumes encompass a wealth of topical material. Musicians in the Making explores the creative development of musicians in formal and informal learning contexts, and it argues that creative learning is a complex, lifelong process. Distributed Creativity investigates the ways in which collaboration and improvisation enable and constrain creative processes in contemporary music, focusing on the activities of composers, performers and improvisers. Music and Shape reveals why a spatial, gestural construct is so invaluable to work in sound, helping musicians in many genres to rehearse, teach and think about what they do. Global Perspectives on Orchestras considers large orchestral ensembles in diverse historical, intercultural and postcolonial contexts; in doing so, it generates enhanced appreciation of their creative, political and social dimensions. Finally, Music as Creative Practice describes music as a culture of the imagination and a real-time practice, and it reveals the critical insights that music affords into contemporary thinking about creativity.
