In Time: Map-Making Strategies and Musical Journeys

by Barbara Barry

Overview

‘In Time’ is an innovative study of classical music that integrates contemporary theory, such as problem-solving strategies (resembling map-making) with the expressive dimension of music. This integration is suggested as a metaphor for life journeys, encompassing both external experiences and internal memories within alternative realities.
