This book introduces the topics of Enlightenment, Counter-Enlightenment, and social demography in Western art musics and demonstrates their historical and sociological importance. The essays in this book explore the concepts of "existential irony" and "sanctification," which have been mentioned or discussed by music scholars, historians, and musicologists only either in connection with specific composers' works (Shostakovich's, in the case of "existential irony") or very parenthetically, merely in passing in the biographies of composers of "classical" musics. This groundbreaking work illustrates their generality and sociological sources and correlates in contemporary Western art musics

Utilisant des données statistiques relatives à des cohortes de femmes canadiennes, l'auteur traite de la stratègic sociale de la formation de la famille sous trois chefs: au sein de chaque cohorte, il fait un éventail de l'âge lors du premier manage, il établit la proportion du contrôle de la fécondité et, le cas éehéant, du nombre total des naissances. Il s'agit de cohortes de naissance selon que le lieu de résidence est rural ou urbain, selon la province et l'importance de la ville en 1941. Des données sont aussi fournies pour chaeune de vingt‐sept villes d'une population de 30,000 et plus en 1941. Chacune des cohortes de naissance varie quant à divers aspects de la stratégie de la formation de la famille selon la ville et l'unité géographique traitées; le lieu de l'habitat introduit aussi des variations diachroniques, si l'on compare la proportion des cas où le contrôle de la fécondité s'exerce et le niveau de contrôle manifesté.

The total set of norms governing the formation of Pam's in a society or soc collectivity may be thought of as a 'soc strategy of fam formation.' Such strategies have important consequences for soc structure & pop growth. The strategy of, for example, the F members of a given birth cohort can be given partial statistical representation by using census or survey data. 4 such strategies are constructed by means of categorization of 2 variables: Strategy A, early marriage, uncontrolled fertility; Strategy B, early marriage controlled fertility; Strategy C, late marriage, uncontrolled fertility; Strategy D, late marriage, controlled fertility. Age at marriage data are obtained directly from the census, while fertility control is estimated by comparison of N of children born to the N to be expected in a maximum fertility pop. On this basis, the soc strategies of fam formation of F cohorts of 6 nations are compared. Md age at marriage ranged from 22.5 to 27.2 yrs. The estimated % of F's attempting fertility control ranged from 35% to 72%. Further analysis indicated several SS & subcultural (including Ur/Ru) diff's between SES categories within countries. Finally, shifts in time in the 2 indices were discernible. Hyp's relating these diff's to structural features of societies or subcultures are needed if variations in soc strategies of fam formation are to be accounted for. P. Metzger.
