Meyerbeer's Singspiele and Opéras-Comiques
ISBN: 9781527542624 / Twarda / 2023 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book considers Meyerbeer’s operas, written in the venerable tradition of song interspersed with spoken dialogue, deriving from the French opéra-comique and continued in the German Singspiel. His early operas Jephtas Gelübde (1812), Wirt und Gast (1813) and Das Brandenburger Tor (1814) reveal the composer’s dramatic and vocal skills, and gift for large-scale construction. The high drama of the tragédie lyrique and the homespun charms of the Spieloper are essayed with imagination, thematic fluency and vivid orchestral colour. Ein Feldlager in Schlesien (1844) revealed a continuing...

ISBN: 9781443828871 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Daniel-François-Esprit Auber (1782–1871), the most amiable French composer of the 19th century, came to his abilities late in life. After a stalled commercial career, he studied with Cherubini.

Daniel-François-Esprit Auber (1782–1871), once one of the most well-known and well-loved names in French 19th-century opera, came later in life than many famous composers to his art, yet had one of the longest and most successful careers.

Opéra-Comique: A Sourcebook
ISBN: 9781443821407 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 881 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Opéra-comique, like grand opéra, a specifically French genre of opera, emerged from the political changes and intellectual discussion that played a recurrent role in determining the nature of artistic expression and production in Paris from the late 17th until the mid-18th centuries.
Opéra-comique is distinguished by its use of spoken dialogue to link the arias and sung parts, and its more restrained use of recitatives. It emerged out of the popular entertainments, called opéras-comiques en vaudevilles, that were a feature of the theatres held at the seasonal Parisian fairs of St...

An Introduction to the Pentateuch
ISBN: 9781036410261 / Angielski / Twarda / 2024 / 311 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This study presents the Pentateuch in both a wider Biblical context and in a more specific close reading of the five initial books of Scripture. The differing approaches to exploring and understanding these books through time is considered, with special emphasis on the changing approaches of the last two centuries, both in terms of the historical-critical approach and the more literary analysis of structuralism. These diachronic and synchronic approaches are synthesized in the canonical method which looks at the books in the wider and more specific context of the formation of the biblical...

Giacomo Meyerbeer: Cantatas for Festive Occasions
ISBN: 9781443823234 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The cantatas of Giacomo Meyerbeer (1791–1864), spanning his middle and late life, were written in response to royal and civic commissions to celebrate dynastic events and to praise the deeds of famous men. Their festive nature is indicated in the titles: festival song, festival greeting, festival hymn, homage.
Like a continuation of the 18th-century tradition of patronage, the more famous Meyerbeer became, the more his services were required by public authorities. Although a burden to him, and a distraction from his dramatic vocation, the composer understood the importance of these...

Daniel-François-Esprit Auber (1782–1871) was long considered one of the most typically French as well as one of the most successful of the opera composers of the 19th century. Although musically gifted, he initially chose commerce as a career, but soon realized that his future lay in music.

An Introduction to the Dramatic Works of Giacomo Meyerbeer: Operas, Ballets, Cantatas, Plays: Operas, Ballets, Cantatas, Plays
ISBN: 9780754660392 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Giacomo Meyerbeer (1791-1864) was a great musical dramatist in his own right. The fame of his operas rests on his radical treatment of form, his development of scenic complexes and greater plasticity of structure and melody, his dynamic use of the orchestra, and close attention to all aspects of presentation and production, all of which set new standards in Romantic opera and dramaturgy. This book carries forward the process of rediscovery and reassessment of Meyerbeer's art "including not just his famous French operas, but also his German and Italian ones"placing them in the context of his...

The Overtures of Daniel-François-Esprit Auber
ISBN: 9781443827027 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 467 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The overtures of Daniel-François-Esprit Auber (1782–1871), once as popular as those of Gioacchino Rossini and Franz von Suppé, were formerly known everywhere, a staple of the light Classical repertoire. The influence of Auber’s melodies and dance rhythms on piano and instrumental music, and on the genre of Romantic comic opera, especially in Germany, was overwhelming. The operas themselves, apart from Fra Diavolo (1830), have virtually passed out of the repertoire, but some of their overtures live on vicariously, and sound brilliant and charming when given the chance—The Bronze Horse,...

Meyerbeer's first opera, Jephtas Gelübde, has a libretto by the German academic Alois Schreiber, based on a Biblical theme taken from chapters 11-12 of the Book of Judges.
