Roy, Frith, and Genre
● Roy’s interpretation of Frith: “...genres are constructed in “genre worlds” of musicians,
listeners, interpreters and marketers - emphasizing the boundedness of genres as
discourse and practices, which are formulated as much to keep people out as keep
people in.” 266
â—‹ Genre is what people say it is
Genre as practice: Canon formation
â—Ź Canon:
â—‹ Works identified as the epitome of a style
â—‹ Works representing a significant historical development with a style
○ Works denoting the “boundaries” of a style
● “100 Greatest Songs of All Time,” “10 most influential albums,”, etc
â—Ź Who creates canons?
â—Ź What are the criteria for inclusion or exclusion?
Canons
â—Ź Classical
