Philip Tagg (born 1944 in Oundle, Northamptonshire, UK) is a British musicologist, writer and educator. He is co-founder of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM) and author of several influential books on popular music and music semiotics. ==Biography== Tagg attended The Leys School in Cambridge in 1957–1962. He has mentioned his organ teacher, Ken Naylor, as particularly influential on his development as a musician and thinker.〔Philip Tagg, ''Music’s Meanings'', 2013, pp. 7, ff.〕 He then studied Music at the University of Cambridge (1962–65), and thereafter Education at the University of Manchester (1965–66). Tagg had some success as a choral composer during these early years. For example, on Trinity Sunday 1963, Tagg’s anthem ''Duo Seraphim''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=In Festo S.S. Trinit. ap. Colleg. Reg. Cantab. MXIXLXII : Philip Tagg : Musical score )〕 was performed at Matins by the Choir of King's College, Cambridge under David Willcocks. His ''Preces and Responses'' were also broadcast by the BBC from the Edington Festival in 1964. Tagg also worked as volunteer at the Aldeburgh Festival in 1963. During this period he also played piano in a Scottish country dance ensemble, as well as in two pop-rock/soul/R&B bands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://tagg.org/ptcv.html#MusXpr )〕 Dismayed at the prospect of becoming a music teacher in 1966,〔Philip Tagg, ''Music’s Meanings'', 2013, pp. 13–14.〕 Tagg moved to Sweden where he taught English in Filipstad while running a youth club〔See, for example, ''Filipstads Tidningen'', 13 July 1967.〕 and playing keyboards in two local bands (1966–68).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://tagg.org/ptcv.html#MusXpr )〕 Deciding to retrain as a language teacher, Tagg then attended the University of Göteborg (1968–71), while also both singing in and arranging for Göteborgs Kammarkör. In 1969 he met Swedish musicologist Jan Ling who, realising that Tagg had experience in both the classical and popular spheres, asked him to help with the new music teacher training programme (SÄMUS) that the Swedish government had asked Ling to set up in Göteborg.〔(“The Göteborg Connection: lessons in the history and politics of popular music education and research” ), originally published in ''Popular Music'', 17/2, 1998, 219–242.〕 At SÄMUS (1971–77), and later at the Department of Musicology of the University of Göteborg (1977–91), Tagg taught (aural) Keyboard Accompaniment, Music Theory, and Music & Society. Problems encountered in this work provoked him to develop analysis methods addressing the specificities of structure and meaning in various types popular music, e.g. the “Kojak thesis” (1979) and the reception tests at the basis of his book ''Ten Little Title Tunes'' (2003). Tagg was at this time also songwriter and keyboard player in the left-wing “rock cabaret” band Röda Kapellet (1972–76). In June 1981 he co-organised, together with Gerard Kempers and David Horn,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gerard Kempers (1948-2005) )〕 the first international conference on popular music studies in Amsterdam, as a result of which IASPM (International Association for the Study of Popular Music) was formed.〔For a basic history of IASPM's early days see ("Proposals concerning the Establishment of an International Society for Popular Music" ) (1980) and the start of ("Twenty Years After: Speech at Founder's Event, IASPM Conference, Turku, July 2001." ) (Tagg, 2001).〕 In April 1991, Tagg returned to the UK where he established the basis of what became EPMOW (''Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World''). In 1993 he was appointed Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Popular Music (IPM) of the University of Liverpool, where, until 2002, he taught such subjects as Popular Music Analysis, Music and the Moving Image and History of Popular Music. In 2000 Bob Clarida and Philip Tagg set up the Mass Media Music Scholars' Press (MMMSP) as a not-for-profit corporation registered in the state of New York. Its purpose is, using Fair Use legislation, to disseminate scholarly musicological writings on music in the mass media. Dismayed by the increasing rigidity of the UK's managerialist university system, Tagg moved once again in 2002, this time to take up a professorship at the Université de Montréal where his main brief was to establish popular music studies in the university's Faculté de musique (2002–2009). In January 2010 he returned as a pensioner to the UK, since when he has been writing books and producing his “edutainment videos”. Tagg is currently Visiting Professor of Music at Leeds Beckett University and the University of Salford. He is also one of the main figures behind the foundation of the Network for the Inclusion of Music in Music Studies (NIMiMs) in January 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philip Tagg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
