Aesthetics of the Music of Afro-Americans: A Critical Analysis of the Writings of Selected Black Scholars with Implications for Black Music Studies and for Music Education.
Burgett, Paul Joseph
The focus of this dissertation is on two central issues: (1) significant aesthetic theories developed by black scholars which treat the music of black Americans, and (2) the implications which these theories suggest for the development of curricula at all educational levels which treat the music of black Americans. The aesthetic theories selected for analysis are those which have been developed by Alain Locke and Imamu Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones). The analytical method which is used in treating the theories of these men is that described by Eliseo Vivas and Murrey Krieger as the five problems of aesthetics. These are: the creative act, the aesthetic object, aesthetic expression, aesthetic judgement, and the function of art. (Author/AM)
