ABSTRACT -
In this article, a cover version of Dizzy Gillespie’s “A Night in Tunisia” is analyzed as a compound art expression and as an adaptation from one musical genre to another. The purpose of the analysis is to investigate whether a song like this can be didactical on the art’s own premises and have a potential for Bildung. The selected cover version is called “And the Melody still lingers on”, sung by the disco queen Chaka Khan. By analyzing musical material for an educational purpose, the article stands with one foot in musicology, and the other in music education. By using analytical tools from musicology, informed by literature studies, the article aims to contribute to new perspectives in music education research. The analysis suggests new aspects to the ongoing discussions about the future for music education, especially in a Nordic context.
Keywords: adaptation, compound art expression, didactics of literature and the fine arts, aesthetic formation (Bildung)
