ISBN: 9780851158303 / Angielski / Miękka / 299 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Benjamin Britten's interest in the musical traditions of the Far East had a far-reaching influence on his compositional style; this book is the first to investigate the highly original cross-cultural synthesis he was able to achieve through the use of material borrowed from Balinese, Japanese and Indian music.

ISBN: 9780851158440 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The late Wilfrid Mellers, who occupies a special place among music critics, described himself as a non-believer; but his preference for music that -displays a sense of the numinous- (in his words) will strike a chord with many who listen to religious music nowadays, and who share his view that music that confronts first and last things is likely to offer more than music that evades them. The essays form five groups, which together offer a survey of religious music from around the first millennium to the beginning of the second, in the context of the difficult issues of what religious music...

ISBN: 9780859915502 / Angielski / Miękka / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard Rastall's two books on music in early English religious drama complement each other. Heaven Singing provides an overview of the evidence for music in the plays, and defines the place, nature and cultural contexts of music in the drama; Minstrels Playing is a discussion of the evidence for every play in that repertory, and is therefore concerned with the place and nature of musical performance in each play individually. Where should there be music in an anonymous English religious play of the fifteenth or sixteenth century? What sort of music should it be, and by what forces should it...
