The Tragic and the Ecstatic: The Musical Revolution of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde
ISBN: 9780195176476 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During the years preceding the composition of Tristan and Isolde, Wagner's aesthetics underwent a momentous turnaround, principally as a result of his discovery of Schopenhauer.

Tears Into Wine: J. S. Bach's Cantata 21 in Its Musical and Theological Contexts
ISBN: 9780190217297 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 632 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1714, the 29 year-old Johann Sebastian Bach was promoted to the position of concertmaster at the ducal court of Weimar. This post required him for the first time in his already established career to produce a regular stream of church cantatas-one cantata every four weeks. Among the most significant works of this period is Ich hatte viel Bekummernis in meinem Herzen (Cantata 21). Generally known in English as "I had much affliction," Cantata 21 draws from several psalms and the Book of Revelations and offers a depiction of the spiritual ascent of the soul from intense tribulation...

Analyzing Bach Cantatas
ISBN: 9780195161823 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Bach's cantatas are among the highest achievements of Western musical art, yet studies of the individual cantatas that are both illuminating and detailed are few.

Concentrating on a small number of representative...

Chafe boldly argues that the trajectory of the Clintons' political lives can be understood only through the prism of their personal relationship. Inseparable from the day they first met, their personal dynamic has determined their political fates. Hillary was instrumental in Bill's triumphs as Arkansas's governor, and she saved his presidential candidacy in 1992 during the Gennifer Flowers sex scandal. He responded by delegating to her powers that no other First Lady had ever exercised. Chafe's penetrating insights--into subjects such as health care,...
