Musicality in Theatre: Music as Model, Method and Metaphor in Theatre-Making
ISBN: 9781409461012 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As the complicated relationship between music and theatre has evolved and changed in the modern and postmodern periods, music has continued to be immensely influential in key developments of theatrical practices. In this study of musicality in the theatre, David Roesner offers a revised view of the nature of the relationship. The new perspective results from two shifts in focus: on the one hand, Roesner concentrates in particular on theatre-making - that is the creation processes of theatre - and on the other, he traces a notion of a musicality' in the historical and contemporary discourses...

Le Livret d'opéra en France au XVIIIe siècle
ISBN: 9780729410625 / Francuski / Miękka / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Le livret d’opéra, genre littéraire longtemps négligé par la critique, se rattache à un ensemble de questions esthétiques, voire philosophiques, qui traversent le XVIIIe siècle: le rapport entre parole et musique, les origines du langage, et le pouvoir représentatif de la musique. Dans cette première étude interdisciplinaire, Béatrice Didier aborde successivement plusieurs types d’approche au livret: historique, sociologique, structurelle, thématique, esthétique. Elle fait découvrir la situation économique et sociale, très variable, du librettiste; elle présente, à...

A Feminist Perspective on Opera Interpretation: The Case of Richard Wagner's "der Fliegende Hollander"
ISBN: 9783643905376 / Angielski / Miękka / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Drawing upon gender studies, musicology, German studies, and literary theory, the author develops a feminist analytic framework for interpreting opera and for critiquing the usual interpretations of opera, using Richard Wagner's Der fliegende Hollander as a case study. The feminist analysis, in contrast to prior interpretations of Hollander, identifies the intersection of gender and religion as at the core of the opera's main woman character, Senta. This analysis allows for recognition of Senta's power and moral agency and demonstrates that the theory of interpretation rather than the opera...

French Music and Jazz in Conversation: From Debussy to Brubeck
ISBN: 9781107037533 / Angielski / Twarda / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. French concert music and jazz often enjoyed a special creative exchange across the period 1900 65. French modernist composers were particularly receptive to early African-American jazz during the interwar years, and American jazz musicians, especially those concerned with modal jazz in the 1950s and early 1960s, exhibited a distinct affinity with French musical impressionism. However, despite a general, if contested, interest in the cultural interplay of classical music and jazz, few writers have probed the specific French music-jazz relationship in depth. In this book, Deborah Mawer sets...

The Philosophies of Richard Wagner
ISBN: 9780739199923 / Angielski / Twarda / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In addition to being a great composer, Richard Wagner was also an important philosopher. Julian Young begins by examining the philosophy of art and society Wagner constructs during his time as a revolutionary anarchist-communist. Modernity, Wagner argued, is to be rescued from its current anomie through the rebirth of Greek tragedy (the original Gesamtkunstwerk) in the form of the "artwork of the future," an artwork of which his own operas are the prototype. Young then examines the entirely different philosophy Wagner constructs after his 1854 conversion from Hegelian optimism to...

Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg (The Mastersingers of Nuremberg)
ISBN: 9781847495587 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg is the only comedy among Richard Wagner s mature works. Unusually for Wagner, it is set in a historically specific time and place, sixteenthcentury Nuremberg, and tells of a song contest among the town s guildsmen. It nevertheless explores the same themes of renewal, renunciation and human love as Wagner s other great music dramas. The finely drawn humanity of its principal characters and the brilliance of its musical invention make it one of the most rewarding operas in the repertory. The guide contains articles on the complex historical and political... Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg is the only comedy among Richard Wagner s mature works.

Wagner and His Isolde
ISBN: 9781108078559 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The German poet Mathilde Wesendonck (1828-1902), author of the texts of the Wesendonck Lieder, was the wife of Wagner's patron, the wealthy silk merchant Otto Wesendonck. From 1852 until 1858, the Wagners lived next to the Wesendoncks in Zurich and an intense relationship developed between Wagner and Mathilde, subsequently reflected in the impossible love at the heart of his opera Tristan und Isolde. Prepared by the American musicologist Gustav Kobbe (1857-1918), who provides a helpful connecting narrative, this 1905 translation of a selection of 'the most intimate and striking' of Wagner's...

Master Singers: Advice from the Stage
ISBN: 9780199324187 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
