Sprech-Ton-Kunst
ISBN: 9783484660359 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 331 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Das Interesse am Stellenwert der Stimme im Inszenierungsereignis wachst gegenwartig rapide. Die Erforschung der historischen Buhnenstimme, ihrer Asthetik und ihrer zentralen Funktion, verspricht hier wichtige Aufschlusse: Da Deklamationstheorie und Theaterpraxis einst die Sprechstimme als musikalisches Phanomen sui generis verstanden und implizit den durchs Tonsystem gepragten Musikbegriff ebenso problematisierten wie die Dichotomie von Sprechen und Singen, ist wenig bekannt. Eine Analyse, die sich dessen annimmt, mu sinnvollerweise interdisziplinar ansetzen - die vorliegende... Das Interesse am Stellenwert der Stimme im Inszenierungsereignis wachst gegenwartig rapide.

The Bible and Western culture is a burgeoning area of interest in recent scholarship, but comparatively little has been written on the Bible and music. Leneman's is a groundbreaking work, making some pioneering forays across an important interdisciplinary divide. The Performed Bible is an in-depth study of the librettos and music of 12 operas and oratorios on the story of Ruth from the last two centuries, establishing the potential of music, as a kind of midrash, for transforming a Bible text, its narrative and its characterization. The book includes detailed analyses of musical segments, the...

Opera as Soundtrack
ISBN: 9780754667186 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Filmmakers' fascination with opera dates back to the silent era but it was not until the late 1980s that critical enquiries into the intersection of opera and cinema began to emerge. Jeongwon Joe focusses primarily on the role of opera as soundtrack by exploring the distinct effects opera produces in film, effects which differ from other types of soundtrack music, such as jazz or symphony. These effects are examined from three perspectives: peculiar qualities of the operatic voice; various properties commonly associated with opera, such as excess, otherness or death; and multifaceted tensions...

Benjamin Britten: Peter Grimes
ISBN: 9780521297165 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes is one of the few operas of the last half-century to have gained a secure place in the repertory. Its appearance in 1945 shortly after the end of the war in Europe was a milestone in operatic history as well as in British music. But the origins of the work lie in the United States, where Britten and his friend Peter Pears (the first Grimes) spent the years 1939 42. In 1941 they read an evocative essay by the novelist E. M. Forster on the Suffolk poet George Crabbe (1754 1832); this precipitated Britten's decision to return to his native country, and sent them...

In this valuable collection of essays, published to coincide with the tercentenary of Handel's birth, Reinhard Strohm examines the relationship between Handel's great operas and the earlier European Baroque tradition, focusing on the Italian school, to which they are so crucially indebted.

It shows how they elaborate and develop the style and method of the Italian...

The Perfect Wagnerite

Nineteenth-century New York was, after Berlin and Vienna, the third largest German-populated city in the world.
