Music in Chopin's Warsaw
ISBN: 9780199357246 / Angielski / Miękka / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Music in Chopin's Warsaw examines the rich musical environment of Fryderyk Chopin's youth--largely unknown to the English-speaking world--and places Chopin's early works in this context.

Cuban Flute Style: Interpretation and Improvisation
ISBN: 9780810884410 / Angielski / Twarda / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard Egues and Jose Fajardo are universally regarded as the leading exponents of charanga flute playing, an improvisatory style that crystallized in 1950s Cuba with the rise of the mambo and the chachacha. Despite the commercial success of their recordings with Orquesta Aragon and Fajardo y sus Estrellas and their influence not only on Cuban flute players but also on other Latin dance musicians, no in-depth analytical study of their flute solos exists. In Cuban Flute Style: Interpretation and Improvisation, Sue Miller--music historian, charanga flute player, and former student of Richard...

Angel Song: Medieval English Music in History
ISBN: 9781472425683 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although medieval English music has been relatively neglected in comparison with repertoire from France and Italy, there are few classical musicians today who have not listened to the thirteenth-century song Sumer is icumen in, or read of the achievements and fame of fifteenth-century composer John Dunstaple. Similarly, the identification of a distinctively English musical style (sometimes understood as the contenance angloise) has been made on numerous occasions by writers exploring the extent to which English ideas influenced polyphonic composition abroad. Angel song: Medieval... Although medieval English music has been relatively neglected in comparison with repertoire from France and Italy, there are few classical musician... |

Music on the Frontline: Nicolas Nabokov's Struggle Against Communism and Middlebrow Culture
ISBN: 9780754606352 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In his position as Secretary General of the CIA-financed Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF), Nicholas Nabokov gave music a high profile in the work of this Cold War organization, producing four international musical festivals under its auspices. This book reveals that Nabokov's musical involvement with the CCF was a struggle on two fronts. Apparently a defence of Western modernism against backward, provincial Soviet music, Nabokov's writings show this to have meshed closely with the domestic concern - shared by many intellectuals - that high culture was being undermined by an increasingly...

Music and the Myth of Arcadia in Renaissance Italy
ISBN: 9781107659223 / Angielski / Miękka / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The idea that there was a time when men and women lived in perfect harmony with nature and with themselves, though rooted in classical antiquity, was one of the most fertile products of the Renaissance literary and artistic imagination. This book explores one specific aspect of this idea: the musical representation and stylization of the myth of Arcadia in sixteenth-century Italy. Giuseppe Gerbino outlines how Renaissance culture strove to keep this utopia alive and demonstrates how music played a fundamental role in the construction and preservation of this collective illusion. Covering a...

Metaphors of Depth in German Musical Thought: From E. T. A. Hoffmann to Arnold Schoenberg
ISBN: 9781107460980 / Angielski / Miękka / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What does it mean to say that music is deeply moving? Or that music's aesthetic value derives from its deep structure? This study traces the widely employed trope of musical depth to its origins in German-language music criticism and analysis. From the Romantic aesthetics of E. T. A. Hoffmann to the modernist theories of Arnold Schoenberg, metaphors of depth attest to the cross-pollination of music with discourses ranging from theology, geology and poetics to psychology, philosophy and economics. The book demonstrates that the persistence of depth metaphors in musicology and music theory...
