Music at the Limits
ISBN: 9780231139373 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Music at the Limits is the first book to bring together three decades of Edward W. Said's essays and articles on music. Addressing the work of a variety of composers, musicians, and performers, Said carefully draws out music's social, political, and cultural contexts and, as a classically trained pianist, provides rich and often surprising assessments of classical music and opera. Music at the Limits offers both a fresh perspective on canonical pieces and a celebration of neglected works by contemporary composers. Said faults the Metropolitan Opera in New York for being too...

August Halm: A Critical and Creative Life in Music
ISBN: 9781580463294 / Angielski / Twarda / 317 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the early 1900s, August Halm was widely acknowledged to be one of the most insightful and influential authors of his day on a wide range of musical topics. Yet, in the eighty years since his untimely death at age 59 (in 1929), Halm -- the author of six widely read books and over 100 essays -- has received much less attention than such contemporaries as Hugo Riemann, Heinrich Schenker, Ernst Kurth, and Arnold Schoenberg. Lee Rothfarb's engaging and deeply researched study provides the missing images that comprise the multifaceted life of this astute musical sage. August Halm: A Critical and...

Intimate Voices: The Twentieth-Century String Quartet: Volume 2: Shostakovich to the Avant-Garde
ISBN: 9781580463225 / Angielski / Twarda / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern composers as diverse as Bela Bartok, Maurice Ravel, Benjamin Britten, and John Cage have confided some of their most personal and intense thoughts to the medium of the string quartet. The resulting repertoire has won the allegiance of string players-and of listeners in the concert hall and at home. Yet, until now, no book has addressed the language of these remarkable works, their interactions with the masterpieces of Beethoven and others, and their new approaches to musical expression. Intimate Voices, organized in rough chronological order, offers the observations and intuitions of...

Genetic Criticism and the Creative Process: Essays from Music, Literature, and Theater
ISBN: 9781580463171 / Angielski / Twarda / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Not only the final outcome but the process of creative endeavor has long attracted attention in various artistic disciplines, but only recently has the potential of such research been seriously explored. The most rigorous basis for the study of artistic creativity comes not from anecdotal or autobiographical reports, but from original handwritten sketches and drafts and preliminary studies, as well as from revised manuscripts and typescripts, corrected proof sheets, and similar primary sources. The term -genetic criticism- or -critique genetique- relates not to the field of genetics, but to...

Perspectives on Korean Music : Volume 1: Preserving Korean Music: Intangible Cultural Properties as Icons of Identity
ISBN: 9780754638926 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As Korea has developed and modernized, music has come to play a central role as a symbol of national identity. Nationalism has been stage managed by scholars, journalists and, from the beginning of the 1960s, by the state, as music genres have been documented, preserved and promoted as 'Intangible Cultural Properties'. Practitioners have been appointed 'holders' or, in everyday speech, 'Human Cultural Properties', to maintain, perform and teach exemplary versions of tradition. Over the last few years, the Korean preservation system has become a model for UNESCO's 'Living Human Treasures' and...

Janácek Beyond the Borders
ISBN: 9781580463096 / Angielski / Twarda / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Leos Janacek is increasingly recognized as one of the major operatic masters of the early twentieth century. In Janacek beyond the Borders, Derek Katz presents an interpretive and critical study of Janacek's major operas that questions prevailing views of the composer's relationship to the Czech language and to Slavic culture and demonstrates that the operas are deeply indebted to various existing operatic traditions outside of the Czech-speaking realm. Katz discusses the implications for Janacek's operas of the composer's notorious -speech-melody- theories and of his fascination with Russia....

Stories Done: Writings on the 1960s and Its Discontents
ISBN: 9780743287463 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 1960s and 1970s represent a rare moment in our cultural history -- music was exploring unprecedented territories, literature was undergoing a radical reinvention, politics polarized the nation, and youth culture was at the zenith of its influence. There has never been, nor is there likely to be, another generation that matches the contributions of the artists of that time period. In this poignant book, journalist Mikal Gilmore weaves a narrative of the '60s and '70s as he examines the lives of the era's most important cultural icons. Keeping the power of rock & roll at the forefront,...

ISBN: 9781137343666 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 1977 is usually associated with West German terrorism, but it witnessed another cultural watershed: punk music. A new reckoning with the legacy of political and aesthetic spaces, this book argues the centrality of punk music for understanding crises of state and terrorist violence, American racism and German fascism, and aesthetic production.

Sistah MC Droppin' Rhymes with a Beat: Rap, Rhetoric and Resistance
ISBN: 9783639124859 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For over three decades rap music has served as the
lyrical mouthpiece for another disenfranchised segment of the African American society-- young Black women. Although rap has been largely a male dominated genre, Black women have also used it to "drop their rhymes" and articulately channel resistance via their own funky beat. This book outlines the challenges African American women have faced in their collective historic quest to establish and sustain their own voice and ultimately reveals that using lyrics as rhetoric has helped African American women establish and maintain such a voice....

Anarchic Societies of Sounds
ISBN: 9783639132090 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. John Cage (1912--1992) is probably best known for
works that challenge the fundamental definition of music---for example, his groundbreaking 433". In the last six years of his life, however, Cage wrote 48 compositions now known as the Number Pieces---works, usually scored for conventional Western instruments, that often contained precisely defined pitches. Each performer in one of these pieces performs his or her music in a strict order, but the actual start- and stop-times for each musical event vary because of Cages notational system called "time brackets." While the time-bracket system... John Cage (1912--1992) is probably best known for

Music, Body, and Desire in Medieval Culture: Hildegard of Bingen to Chaucer
ISBN: 9780804732017 / Angielski / Twarda / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ranging chronologically from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries and thematically from Latin to vernacular literary modes, this book challenges standard assumptions about the musical cultures and philosophies of the European Middle Ages. Engaging a wide range of premodern texts and contexts, from the musicality of sodomy in twelfth-century polyphony to Chaucer's representation of pedagogical violence in the Prioress's Tale, from early Christian writings on the music of the body to the plainchant and poetry of Hildegard of Bingen, the author argues that medieval music was quintessentially a...

The Music of Donald Martino
ISBN: 9783639131918 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Donald Martino (1931-2005) has received a
significant amount of recognition for his work both as a composer and a scholar. To date, however, a detailed theoretical-analytical study of Martinos music has yet to be published. Moreover, while Martinos twelve-tone compositions have received attention in the literature, his pre-dodecaphonic works have not. This is unfortunate since, as this book illustrates, Martinos pre-dodecaphonic compositions significantly inform his later works. Indeed, the present study, which traces the development of Martinos compositional technique and style... Donald Martino (1931-2005) has received a

Annual Review of Jazz Studies 14
ISBN: 9780810869202 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Annual Review of Jazz Studies (ARJS) is a journal providing a forum for the ever expanding range and depth of jazz scholarship, from technical analyses to oral history to cultural interpretation. This 14th issue contains four articles that contravene accepted precepts of jazz orthodoxy: John Howland traces the connection between Duke Ellington's extended works and the _symphonic jazz_ model of the 1920s; Horace J. Maxile, Jr. takes an unfashionably broad perspective of Charles Mingus's _Ecclusiastics_; Brian Priestley challenges the canonical depiction of Charlie Parker by exploring his...
