The Music of Harrison Birtwistle
ISBN: 9780521027809 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Harrison Birtwistle (1934- ) is one of the most eminent and acclaimed of contemporary British composers. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive view of his large and varied output, containing descriptions of every published work, and also a number of withdrawn and unpublished pieces. The book is structured around a number of broad themes--theater, song, time and texture--themes of significance to Birtwistle, but also to much other music. This approach avoids in-depth technical analysis, and Dr. Adlington focuses instead on the music's wider cultural significance.

The Music of Conlon Nancarrow
ISBN: 9780521028073 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Conlon Nancarrow has written the most rhythmically complex music the world has ever known, so complex that it can only be realized on a mechanical player piano. Yet Nancarrow's whirlwinds of notes, sometimes as many as eighty per second, are jazzy and infectiously joyous. The music he composed in almost complete isolation from 1940 on has only recently achieved international fame, and this is the first book to cover in detail Nancarrow's life and compositional achievements. The book includes analysis of sixty-five works and previously unpublished biographical information.

Music and Ideology in Cold War Europe
ISBN: 9780521031134 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This study analyzes the radicalization of art music in early post-war France in its broader socio-cultural and political context, pursuing two lines of inquiry. The first details the attitudes towards musical conservatism and innovation adopted by cultural strategists representing Western and Soviet ideological interests at the onset of the Cold War. The second, which draws upon the commentaries of Adorno and Sartre, recognizes that the Cold War generated a heightened political awareness among French musicians precisely when the social relevance of avant-garde music had become the subject of...

The Stravinsky Legacy
ISBN: 9780521023856 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The music of Igor Stravinsky has had a profound impact on the development of twentieth-century music. In this book, Jonathan Cross explores the technical and aesthetic legacy of Stravinsky in relation to a broad range of composers, from Varese to Andriessen, from Messiaen to Birtwistle. He also proposes a reexamination of Stravinsky's own neoclassical music and Theodor Adorno's notorious critique of Stravinsky. This book is part history, part analysis, part aesthetics, and will be of value to anyone who takes an interest in the music of our time.

The Music of Ruth Crawford Seeger
ISBN: 9780521548182 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is the first full-length analytical study of the music of Ruth Crawford Seeger. Crawford was a pivotal figure in the American avant-garde, the so-called ???ultra-modern??? movement of the 1920s and 1930s. In addition to her historical significance, as part of the first generation of American composers to step out from the shadow of European models, her music deserves attention for its original and compelling structures and its expressive power. Crawford created new ways of writing melodies, of combining them in heterogeneous juxtaposition, of projecting musical ideas over the...

ISBN: 9780521864237 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For much of his career, the internationally known and still active Dutch composer Louis Andriessen has been understood as an iconoclast who challenged and resisted the musical establishment. This book explores his compositions as a case study for exploring the social and aesthetic implications of new music. Everett chronicles the evolution of Andriessen's music over the course of five decades: the formative years in which he experimented with serialism and collage techniques; his political activism in the late 1960s; 'concept' works from the 1970s that provide musical commentary on...
