Music, Musicians, and the Saint-Simonians
ISBN: 9780226489025 / Angielski / Miękka / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Saint-Simonians, whose movement flourished in France between 1825 and 1835, are widely recognized for their contributions to history and social thought. Until now, however, no full account has been made of the central role of the arts in their program. In this skillful interdisciplinary study, Ralph P. Locke describes and documents the Saint-Simonians' view of music as an ideological tool and the influence of this view on musical figures of the day.

Music in Renaissance Magic: Toward a Historiography of Others
ISBN: 9780226807928 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Magic enjoyed a vigorous revival in sixteenth-century Europe, attaining a prestige lost for over a millennium and becoming, for some, a kind of universal philosophy. Renaissance music also suggested a form of universal knowledge through renewed interest in two ancient themes: the Pythagorean and Platonic "harmony of the celestial spheres" and the legendary effects of the music of bards like Orpheus, Arion, and David. In this climate, Renaissance philosophers drew many new and provocative connections between music and the occult sciences.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Gedanke manuscripts, from which The Musical Idea is compiled, are legendary writings of Arnold Schoenberg.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Despite John Lennon's immense popularity, little attention has been paid to his work apart from the Beatles. Yet his solo artistry not only illuminates what he gave to the Beatles, but also constitutes a significant contribution to popular music in general. Lennon was able to fuse experiments in technology, instrumentation, lyrics, and musical form into recordings that were both artistically and commercially successful. Few singer-songwriters have been his equal. In this long overdue investigation, authors Ben Urish and Ken Bielen give Lennon's artistry the opportunity to speak for itself....

Messiaen
ISBN: 9780300109078 / Angielski / Twarda / 435 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The French composer Olivier Messiaen (1908-92) is a musician about whom most remains to be discovered. More than a decade after his death our knowledge of Messiaen is largely conditioned by what he said about himself in lectures and interviews, in his work as a teacher, and in the monumental seven-volume treatise that encompassed the whole of his composing world. But Messiaen's public documents conceal as much as they reveal, seldom explaining why a work was written or what complexities went into its making. The composer was similarly reticent about his private life.This is the first book...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Thirty years ago, the Rolling Stones swept America, taking Exile on Main Street to Main Streets across the nation. Everyone held their breath to see what would happen; the Stones' previous U.S. tour had been a chaotic circus culminating in the infamous death of a fan at Altamont. And this tour (the "Stones Touring Party") was rumored to be wilder than ever: bigger shows in major arenas, with a far larger entourage and even more drugs. Robert Greenfield went along for the ride, and came away with a riveting insider's account, called by Ian Rankin "one of the greatest rock books ever written."...

His fame increasing by the year, Caetano focused on...
