Hildegard of Bingen
ISBN: 9783639179217 / Angielski / Miękka / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Though the music of twelfth century nun composer, Hildegard of Bingen, has intrigued singers, musicologists and audiences since its modern rediscovery, the full implications of its innovative style have yet to be thoroughly investigated. This study aims to demonstrate that the original features of Hildegard's compositions represent a carefully designed concordance between melody and words that accords with the application of rhetorical procedures to music centuries in advance of an articulated concept of musical rhetoric. It examines images of the feminine and feminine divine in Hildegard's...

ISBN: 9781108004640 / Angielski / Miękka / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Early in his long career, the self-taught English music critic Ernest Newman (1868 1959) wrote this influential account of Gluck's life and musical achievements in relation to the intellectual life of the eighteenth century. First published in 1895, Gluck and the Opera traces the composer's ideas and his efforts to move opera forward after a period of stagnation.

His most notable...

The Twelve-Tone Music of Luigi Dallapiccola
ISBN: 9781580463256 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Luigi Dallapiccola was one of twentieth century's most accomplished and admired composers. His music incorporated many of the twelve-tone techniques developed by Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg, and Anton von Webern, but blended their expressionistic impulses with an Italianate sense of lyricism.

Using both historical and music-analytical lenses, this book documents the influences of Webern and Schoenberg, highlights Dallapiccola's...

Schoenberg's Transformation of Musical Language
ISBN: 9780521122740 / Angielski / Miękka / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Arnold Schoenberg is widely regarded as one of the most significant and innovative composers of the twentieth century. It is commonly assumed that Schoenberg's music divides into three periods: tonal, atonal, and serial. It is also assumed that Schoenberg's atonal music made a revolutionary break with the past, particularly in terms of harmonic structure. This book challenges both these popular notions. Haimo argues that Schoenberg's 'atonal' music does not constitute a distinct unified period. He demonstrates that much of the music commonly described as 'atonal' did not make a complete break...
