Schubert, Müller, and Die Schöne Müllerin
ISBN: 9780521563642 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The collaboration of Schubert and the poet Wilhelm MUller produced some of the best loved of nineteenth-century lieder--in particular Die schone MUllerin. Professor Youens shows how this archetypal tale of love and rejection is reflected in the poet's own experience. She considers other poets' explorations of the subject, and looks at other musical settings of MUller's mill poems. Above all she examines MUller's permutation of the literary legends as an exploration of erotic obsession, delusion, frenzy, disillusionment and death and the way in which Schubert altered MUller's vision when the...

Summa Musice: A Thirteenth-Century Manual for Singers
ISBN: 9780521404204 / Angielski / Twarda / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How did medieval musicians learn to perform? How did they compose?

It is a manual for young singers who are learning Gregorian chant for the first time, and provides a compact but comprehensive introduction to notation, performance, and composition, written in a mixture of Latin prose and verse. More than that, however, it is also an introduction to medieval culture: what educated people believed to be worth knowing about music, how they...

ISBN: 9780521807371 / Angielski / Twarda / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
