The Music of Simon Holt
ISBN: 9781783272235 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. British composer Simon Holt (b. 1958) has been a leading presence in contemporary music since the early 1980s and Kites. His output is diverse, comprising chamber music, concertos for diverse instruments, songs, piano music and opera. Holt is a composer who demands unusual commitment from his interpreters - the intricate sound-worlds he creates often contain complex, rich textures, offset by 'still centres' - for the purpose of making music which speaks with extraordinary power. Bringing together well-known writers with composers and performers, this volume gives a complete overview of Holt's...

Michel-Jean Sedaine (1719-1797): Theatre, Opera and Art
ISBN: 9780367134792 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Originally published in 2000, this book highlights the interst Sedaine's life and work is now, belatedly, provoking in many scholarly disciplines. If Sedaine speaks today to literary history, theatre history and opera studies, it is because he possessed a multivalent vision, one which accounts for both his past neglect and is present rediscovery. Like many others, he believed that the established, 'official' genres needed to be reformed; unlike many, he made it his business to transform the actual language and operation of the theatre arts he practised. Until late eighteenth-century opera and...

The majority of these collected essays date from 1992 onwards, three of them having been specially expanded for this volume. Drawing on recent archival research and new musicological theory, they investigate distinctive qualities in French opera from early opéra comique to early grand opera. ’Media’ is interpreted in terms of both narrative systems and practical theatre resources. One group of essays identifies narrative systems in ’minuet-scenes’, in the diegetic romance, and in special uses of musical motives. Another group concerns the theory and æsthetics of opera, in which...

ISBN: 9780996987202 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the high desert above San Diego, on the U.S.-Mexico border, sits the tiny, forgotten town of Jacumba, CA, a place where ghosts of failed attempts to cross linger like the gray chill after a winter rain. Camouflaged against the rocks, a coyote name Wiley cautiously lingers near the Bridge of Sighs with six exhausted Mexican nationals. Time stands still for this small group as they breathlessly wait for a fast moving, teal green SUV to flash its lights three times just beyond the bridge. In an Indian casino seven miles away, Charlie and Denice DeVille live la vida loca as professional...

ISBN: 9781780664804 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is the key text of yoga.

The sutras are carefully deconstructed, put into context and then developed into ideas for practice. They examine the interplay of three key terms: support, direction and space. They suggest that only by taking support on...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Set in current time, about one thousand immortals known as Ever Kind live among us mortals. They identify and locate the others through senses, except for a singular anomaly, whom they call the Black Hole or the Black Sheep. Their immortality derives from their ability to flow into another living host when the original host dies.

Over the millennia, they have lived out lives of both sexes and animals as varied as cockroaches, whales, three-legged blind goats,...
