Music in the Films of Lars Von Trier

An exploration of one of contemporary cinema's most provocative directors, this book considers Lars von Trier's innovative use of pre-existing music, demonstrating how it shapes cinematic meaning through a unique combination of music and film analysis, archival research, and insider interviews.From the world's end set to Richard Wagner's Tristan and Isolde in Melancholia, through the haunting performance by Björk on the gallows in Dancer in the Dark, to the reinterpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach's organ piece "Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ" as a metaphor for hypersexuality in Nymphomaniac, Lars von Trier's films employ pre-existing music as a central storytelling device.Drawing on exclusive access to Lars von Trier's private archives and interviews with key collaborators, this book uncovers the behind-the-scenes processes that bring these musical moments to life. It explores how pre-existing music is adapted, reimagined, and interwoven with visual narratives. The book's transdisciplinary approach reflects the diversity of Lars von Trier's films, offering fresh perspectives on musical adaptation, audience engagement, and the collaborative nature of filmmaking. By examining Lars von Trier's entire filmography, it provides a deeper understanding of how music shapes cinematic storytelling and its emotional resonance, making it a valuable resource for film studies and musicology.

Callas and Her Doubles

João Pedro Cachopo examines the intensification of the myth of Maria Callas in the 21st century, focusing on media-driven projects around the celebrated soprano that illustrate the coexistence of technological euphoria and cultural nostalgia in the digital age.Nearly 50 years after the death of Maria Callas (1923-1977), the myth of the legendary soprano not only persists but has gained new intensity. The Callas phenomenon has transcended the realm of opera, revealing a paradox of our time: the intertwining of technological euphoria and cultural nostalgia. This intensification extends far beyond traditional tributes, such as exhibitions and biographies. It is characterized by a wave of technologically ambitious projects that stand out for their media complexity and artistic boldness. In 2017, Tom Volf initiated the Maria by Callas project, encompassing an immersive exhibition and an innovative documentary. The following year, Callas in Concert, a live show with a hologram of the singer, toured internationally. More recently, in September 2020, Marina Abramovic premiered her multimedia opera-performance, 7 Deaths of Maria Callas, at the Bayerische Staatsoper.All this raises a fundamental question: in an era dominated by technical reproducibility, is the value of aura in decline, or is it metamorphosing? And what does the acceleration of the Callas myth reveal, not only about the artist and her legacy, but also about contemporary culture and our collective imagination?

Folk (Music) Education

Hoe word je een folkmuzikant? Het is een muzikale en persoonlijke reis langs veel verschillende wegen. Folkmuzikant worden is een proces waar bij de context van groot belang is: de gemeenschap van folkmuzikanten, de inbedding in de traditie, de sociale beleving van muziek spelen en het leren van elkaar. In dit boek gaan we op zoek ‘naar een didactiek van de folk’. We merken immers dat folk meer en meer aandacht krijgt in het onderwijs en dit roept vragen op over de eigenheid van het leren en onderwijzen van folkmuziek. Deze publicatie sluit daarmee aan bij de internationale interesse in popular music pedagogies, en wil een bijdrage leveren aan de concretisering van een authentieke vakdidactiek voor de folkmuziek. In het boek komen diverse ervaringsdeskundigen aan het woord, elk met hun eigen invalshoeken en perspectieven. 'Eindelijk! Eindelijk heeft de leraar, beginnende muzikant en geïnteresseerde lezer die zich op folk dan wel volksmuziek wil storten een uitgebreide bron van informatie. Moge dit boek ervoor zorgen dat vele jongeren de smaak te pakken krijgen. Dat moet lukken en dan blijven verleden, heden en toekomst één groot geheel.' — Dree Peremans (producer en auteur van o.a. Naar de bronnen van de Folk)
