Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) "The songs of the slave represent the sorrows of his heart, and he is relieved by them, only as an aching heart is relieved by tears." "It is hard to explain why no systematic effort has hitherto been made to collect and preserve slave] melodies. The public had well-nigh forgotten these genuine slave songs, and with them the creative power from which they sprung. These are the songs that are still heard upon the Mississippi . . . wild and strangely fascinating." Many haunting melodies were created during the nineteenth...

Musical Encounters at the 1889 Paris World's Fair
ISBN: 9781580461856 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris has become famous as a turning point in the history of French music, and modern music generally. For the first time, Debussy and his fellow composers could be inspired by Javanese gamelan music, while the Russian concerts conducted by Rimsky-Korsakov brought recent music by the Mighty Five to Parisian ears. But the 1889 World's Fair had much wider musical and cultural ramifications; one contemporary described it as a "gigantic encyclopedia, in which nothing was forgotten." Music was so pervasive at the 1889 Exposition Universelle that newspaper...

The Scoring of Baroque Concertos
ISBN: 9781843830719 / Angielski / Twarda / 295 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The concertos of Vivaldi, Bach, Handel and their contemporaries are some of the most popular, and the most frequently performed, pieces of classical music; and the assumption has always been they were full orchestral works. This book takes issue with this orthodox opinion to argue quite the reverse: that contemporaries regarded the concerto as chamber music. The author surveys the evidence, from surviving printed and manuscript performance material, from concerts throughout Europe between 1685 and 1750 (the heyday of the concerto), demonstrating that concertos were nearly always played...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Irish have long been famed for their powerful traditional melodies, and three in this volume are surely amongst the finest. 'Danny Boy' (the melody of which is also known as 'Londonderry Air') was first published, without a title, in 1855. The words most commonly associated with it were written by an Englishman who apparently never set foot in Ireland 'The lark in the clear air' is an exquisite song celebrating the beauty of nature. The poignant words of 'The last rose of summer' match the song's mournful, drooping melody.
