AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This essay analyzes the use of extended-voice technique and "extreme" vocalizations in Peter Maxwell Davies's avant-garde music-theatre work Eight Songs for a Mad King. Using poststructuralist and musicological theories of voice, the essay makes the case for a conception of "queer vocality" that disrupts and subverts socio-cultural and aesthetic norms.' (p. 101)
