Islam Under the Crusaders: Colonial Survival in the Thirteenth-Century Kingdom of Valencia
ISBN: 9780691618517 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 538 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The struggle between Islam and the Crusaders comprised a dialogue of cultures on a broad geographic scale and a wide expanse of time, a perennial seesaw of conquest in the West as in the East. Father Burns' pioneering work on Valencia has demonstrated that the inner reality of this sustained confrontation lies as much in the colonial interims as in the battles. Originally published in 1974. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University...

Giacomo Meyerbeer: L'Africaine Deuxième Partie (22 morceaux et fragments inédits)
ISBN: 9781443806152 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume presents the various pieces of music—from fragments, through complete pieces, to whole scenes—that were not used in the final performing edition of Meyerbeer’s L’Africaine. The genesis of Meyerbeer’s last opera is something of a legend. He had first considered the subject in 1837 when Scribe presented him with two new drafts, intended to clinch the triumphant successes of Robert le Diable (1831) and Les Huguenots (1836). The composer began composing Le Prophète immediately, but had the other project, L’Africaine, ever in his mind. By 1843 a piano score was ready,...

ISBN: 9781443841917 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Robert le Diable by Giacomo Meyerbeer is regarded as a musical milestone, a definitive statement in the 19th-century development of French grand opera from the tragedie lyrique of Lully, Rameau, Gluck and Spontini.

Operetta : A Sourcebook, Volume II
ISBN: 9781443868174 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Operetta developed in the second half of the 19th century from the French opera-comique and the more lighthearted German Singspiel. As the century progressed, the serious concerns of mainstream opera were sustained and intensified, leaving a gap between opera-comique and vaudeville that necessitated a new type of stage work. Jacques Offenbach, son of a Cologne synagogue cantor, established himself in Paris with his series of operas-bouffes. The popular success of this individual new form of entertainment light, humorous, satirical and also sentimental led to the emergence of operetta as a...

The Ballets of Ludwig Minkus
ISBN: 9781847184238 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The composer Ludwig Minkus represents one of music’s biggest mysteries. Who was he? Hardly anything is known about him, and yet he occupied an influential position in the theatres of the Imperial ballet in late nineteenth-century Russia. He has been recognised as a predecessor of Tchaikovsky, but as a musician is commonly held to have been so feeble as to be beneath contempt.Yet despite the scorn heaped on him, and his consequent obscurity, Minkus is far from being forgotten. Since the early 1960s his name has slowly begun to re-surface. Two works, Don Quixote (1869) and La Bayadère...

Cesare Pugni (1802-70) made his debut as a composer at La Scala in 1826 with the opera Elerz e Zulmida. In the 1840s he worked closely with the choreographer Jules Perrot (1810-92) in Paris and in London, creating some of the most renowned ballets of the 19th century, a number of which still find their place in some modern repertories. Pugni later followed Perrot to St Petersburg, and became official composer of the Imperial Russian theatres. Some of his earlier ballets were transferred to St Petersburg, and he also composed many new works for that city. Along with Perrot, Pugni also worked...

Daniel-Francois-Esprit Auber: The Man and His Music
ISBN: 9781527591264 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Daniel-Francois-Esprit Auber (1782-1871), the composer of La Muette de Portici (1828) and Fra Diavolo (1830), was once regarded as one of the great figures of music, a staple of the operatic repertoire in France, and indeed around the world. It is now almost impossible to understand the extent of his once universal fame, his influence on contemporary composers. His operas were in the theatre repertories of the world until the 1920s, and innumerable arrangements of them were published and sold everywhere. The ubiquity of his overtures-Masaniello, Fra Diavolo, The Bronze Horse, The Black...

The late monk the very Rev Father Mettaous el Souriany was a great pillar of monasticism, both or the Sourian Monastery and across the monastic life in general. He came to the monastery at a young age of 22, and lived in the monastery for 60 years in moderate asceticism and true spirit of worship. He lived in a humble cell in the monastery, and when the opportunity arose, he built his own cell close to the eastern wall of the monastery's garden in the early 1960's and continued to live there until his departure. His spiritual exercises were very moderate, as he always said: "The middle...
