ISBN: 9780253219541 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

They apply a variety of methodologies--including archival work, close readings, political histories, and style comparison--to this under explored field. Despite the long history of music in film, its serious academic study is still a relatively recent development and therefore comprises a limited bo... |

Liturgy and Contemplation in Byrd's Gradualia
ISBN: 9780415978613 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. William Byrd's Gradualia is one of the most unusual and elaborate musical works of the English Renaissance. This large collection of liturgical music, 109 pieces in all, was written for clandestine use by English Catholics at a time when they were forbidden to practice their religion in public. When Byrd began to compose the Gradualia, he turned from the penitential and polemical extravagances of his earlier Latin motets to the narrow, carefully ordered world of the Counter-Reformation liturgy. It was in this new context, cut off from his familiar practice of choosing... William Byrd's Gradualia is one of the most unusual and elaborate musical works of the English Renaissance.

Quotation and Cultural Meaning in Twentieth-Century Music
ISBN: 9780521036580 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Musicians frequently incorporated portions of works by other musicians into their own compositions and performances throughout the twentieth century. This book examines how this practice of "quotation" affected cultural dialogues regarding race, childhood, madness and the mass media. When a musician borrows from a piece, he or she draws upon not only a melody but also the cultural associations of the original piece. By working with and altering a melody, a musician also transforms those associations.

Serial Music, Serial Aesthetics: Compositional Theory in Post-War Europe
ISBN: 9780521619929 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Composers of serial music in post-war Europe wrote almost as much about music as the music itself, but the relationship between theory and practice in the work of key figures like Stockhausen, Eimert, Pousseur and Schnebel has often been misrepresented. Focusing on the controversial journal Die Reihe, this book traces serialism's cultural history, its debt to the artistic theories of Klee and Mondrian, and its relationship to contemporary developments in concrete art, poetry and information aesthetics. It sketches a aesthetic theory of serialism as an experimental music.
