If in earlier eras music may have seemed slow to respond to advances in other artistic media, during the modernist age it asserted itself in the vanguard. Modernism and Music provides a rich selection of texts on this moment, some translated into English for the first time. It offers not only important statements by composers and critics, but also musical speculations by poets, novelists, philosophers, and others-all of which combine with Daniel Albright's extensive, interlinked commentary to place modernist music in the full context of intellectual and cultural history.

I teach in the Music Department as well as the English and Comparative Literature Departments of Harvard University.  I'm particularly interested in the ways in which artistic media-poetry, music, painting-interact with one another; in 2000, my book Untwisting the Serpent: Music, Literature, and the Visual Arts won the Susanne M. Glasscock Humanities Book Prize for Interdisciplinary Scholarship.  At Harvard I teach two Core Curriculum courses: the first called Putting Modernism Together, which studies (for example) Impressionism through works by Monet, Debussy, and Joseph Conrad, or Surrealism through works by Apollinaire, Stravinsky, and Magritte; the second is The History of the English Language. I also teach courses on opera, drama, Victorian and Modernist poetry and fiction, and the relation of physics to literature.

I enjoy scuba diving and cooking simple French recipes, though not at the same time. I love travel, and on my recent sabbatical year (2012-2013), in addition to being a fellow at the American Academy in Berlin, I managed to chalk up travels to 19 different countries, giving a lecture series in Shanghai, and talks in Seoul, Berlin, Heidelberg, as well as on a ship full of Harvard Alumni somewhere off the coast of Scotland!

4.0 out of 5 stars 20th Century Music on its own terms
Reviewed in the United States on 3 March 2006

Having read many histories of 20th century concert music I could not easily conceive of an addition to the canon that is as interesting, challenging and original as this. Albright has gathered together an eclectic range of primary source materials authored by composers, writers, artists and theorists all of which explore aspects of musical modernism and its putative antithesis - post-modernism. In just bringing this material together he has done music history a service. Yet in one sense what I most enjoyed is Albright's own commentaries which link his diverse sources together so effortlessly that the book reads like a novel; and his prose writing is superb. If only more "textbooks" were of this quality.
