Yankee Musician in Europe: The 1837 Journals of Lowell Mason
ISBN: 9781580463553 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. By the middle of the nineteenth century Lowell Mason (1792-1872) was probably the most famous native-born musician in America.

ISBN: 9780300199765 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. From colonial times to the present, American composers have lived on the fringes of society and defined themselves in large part as outsiders. In this stimulating book Michael Broyles considers the tradition of maverick composers and explores what these mavericks reveal about American attitudes toward the arts and about American society itself. Broyles starts by examining the careers of three notably unconventional composers: William Billings in the eighteenth century, Anthony Philip Heinrich in the nineteenth, and Charles Ives in the twentieth. All three had unusual lives, wrote music that...
