Music, Time, and Its Other explores the relation between the enigmatic character of our temporal experiences and music's affective power. Taking account of competing concepts of time, Savage relates music's power of expression to the disproportion between our temporally finite existence and eternity. By showing how works by Bach, Carolan, Debussy, Schoenberg, Messiaen, and Glass give voice to time's deficiency in relation to the nonbeing of time, Savage sets out a new approach to music, aesthetics, politics, and the critical roles played by judgment and imagination.
