The first historical and critical study of neoclassicism from the genesis of the concept in fin de siecleFrance in the 1870s through the Schoenberg/Stravinsky polemic.

In einer historisch sensibilisierten Interpretation dieses Meisterwerks entziffert Johann Anselm Steiger das Sommerlied konsequent aus den froouml;mmigkeits-, lyrik- und theologiehistorischen Kontexten heraus. Dabei werden erstmals die Theologie der Barockzeit, die geistliche Naturkunde des 17. Jahrhunderts sowie die Emblematik angemessen berucksichtigt. Gerhardt wird exemplarisch als ein poeta...

Projecting Tolkien's Musical Worlds
ISBN: 9783836424967 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Explaining the meaning or affect of a piece of music is by no means an easy
task. However, some success has been found through the work of Philip Tagg, whose technique consists of breaking down a musical example into minimal units of musical meaning (called musemes), comparing those units to other musical examples possessing sociomusical connotations, and demonstrating a transfer of musical affect from the music possessing sociomusical connotations to the object of analysis. This work expands Taggs techniques in an attempt to analyze the musical affect of Howard Shores film score for The Lord... Explaining the meaning or affect of a piece of music is by no means an easy

Debussy and the Fragment
ISBN: 9789042020658 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rather than solid frames, some less than perfect aesthetic objects have permeable membranes which allow them to diffuse effortlessly into the everyday world. In the parallel universes of music and literature, Linda Cummins extols the poetry of such imperfection. She places Debussy's work within a tradition thriving on anti-Aristotelian principles: motley collections, crumbling ruins real or fake, monstrous hybrids, patchwork and palimpsest, hasty sketches, ellipses, truncated beginnings and endings, meandering arabesques, irrelevant digressions, auto-quotations. Sensitive to the...

Four Last Songs: Aging and Creativity in Verdi, Strauss, Messiaen, and Britten
ISBN: 9780226420684 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Aging and creativity can seem a particularly fraught relationship for artists, who often face age-related difficulties as their audience's expectations are at a peak. In Four Last Songs, Linda and Michael Hutcheon explore this issue via the late works of some of the world's greatest composers. Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), Richard Strauss (1864-1949), Olivier Messiaen (1908-92), and Benjamin Britten (1913-76) all wrote operas late in life, pieces that reveal unique responses to the challenges of growing older. Verdi's Falstaff, his only comedic success, combated Richard...

ISBN: 9781580462853 / Angielski / Twarda / 395 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charles Rosen, the pianist and man of letters, is perhaps the single most influential writer on music of the past half-century.

Inspired in its liveliness and variety of critical approaches by Charles Rosen's challenging work, Variations on the Canon offers original essays by some of the world's most eminent musical scholars. Contributors address such issues as style and compositional technique, genre, influence and modeling, and...

"California Polyphony: Ethnic Voices, Musical Crossroads" suggests an answer that lies at the intersection of musicology, cultural history, and politics. Consisting of a series of musical case studies of major ethnic groups in California, this book approaches the notion of Californian identity from diverse perspectives, each nuanced by class, gender, and sexuality. In the early twentieth century, the concept of the Pacific Rim and an orientalist fascination with Asian music and culture dominated the popular imagination of white Californians,...
