Abstract

many compositions in this volume that explore relationships between humans and (nonhuman) animals, such as Beach's "A Hermit Thrush at Morn," Talma's Summer Sounds, Bond's Dreams of Flying, and the works by Emily Doolittle.18 Finally, recent scholarship on queer ecology could have added a new dimension to the intersections between Oliveros's sexuality and music.19 But these few quibbles are in no way meant to detract from the overall impact of this book: certainly, no single volume should be expected to represent or cover every aspect of any subject. Music and the Skillful Listener is an engrossing study of an important topic that scholars working in a broad array of fields--including American music, music and place, ecomusicology, ecocriticism, gender and music, and many more--will find enriching and illuminating. One sign of a successful project is its potential for stimulating other research, and after finishing this book I envisioned it inspiring a number of other possible publications, including full-length studies of African American composers and nature, modernist and atonal women composers and nature (a topic Melissa de Graaf has already begun to examine), nature and domestic compositions by nineteenth-century women, and ecofeminism and music, to give just a few examples.
