An Outward Show: Music for Shakespeare on the London Stage, 1660-1830
ISBN: 9780313278051 / Angielski / Twarda / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) From 1660 through approximately 1830, the alteration of Shakespearean texts to comply with contemporary dramaturgy was a normal occurrence, and the need to adapt Shakespeare to popular tastes generated music quite different in style, function, and influence from that envisioned by the Elizabethan playwright. Shakespeare's plots and poetry were updated, and the role of music elevated. The musical repertoire created for this transfigured Shakespeareana represents the staggering variety of music on the English stage and shows the effect of Continental musical influences, especially Italian...

The Musical Image: A Theory of Content
ISBN: 9780313284342 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) A musical phrase, or, for that matter, a musical unit of any size or shape, becomes an image whenever we imagine it to be invested with a content whose origins lie outside music. Such a content, according to the theory developed here, constitutes the image's conventional significance; it accounts for whatever strikes us about the image as having a common and familiar ring. That being so, the origins in question must be coincident with the fundamental ideas--the archetypes--that have been traditionally represented as underlying and unifying Western culture. As the theoretical constructs... A musical phrase, or, for that matter, a musical unit of any size or shape, becomes an image whenever we imagine it to be invested with a content w... |

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Designed to serve music students at the college level, this informal approach to music theory relates the technical aspects of music with the expressive character of the art.

The Ballets of Maurice Ravel: Creation and Interpretation
ISBN: 9780754630296 / Angielski / Twarda / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Maurice Ravel, as composer and scenario writer, collaborated with some of the greatest ballet directors, choreographers, designers and dancers of his time, including Diaghilev, Ida Rubinstein, Benois and Nijinsky. In this book, the first study dedicated to Ravel's ballets, Deborah Mawer explores these relationships and argues that ballet music should not be regarded in isolation from its associated arts. Indeed, Ravel's views on ballet and other stage works privilege a synthesized aesthetic. The first chapter establishes a historical and critical context for Ravel's scores, engaging en route...

ISBN: 9780754665267 / Angielski / Twarda / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) How, in 1705, was Thomas Salmon, a parson from Bedfordshire, able to persuade the Royal Society that a musical performance could constitute a scientific experiment? Or that the judgement of a musical audience could provide evidence for a mathematically precise theory of musical tuning? This book presents answers to these questions. It constitutes a general history of quantitative music theory in the late seventeenth century as well as a detailed study of one part of that history: namely the applications of mathematical and mechanical methods of understanding to music that were produced in...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This introductory text deals with the physical systems and biological processes that intervene in what we broadly call "music. " We shall analyze what obj- tive, physical properties of sound patterns are associated with what subjective, psychological sensations of music. We shall describe how these sound patterns are actually produced in musical instruments, how they propagate through the environment, and how they are detected by the ear and interpreted in the brain. We shall do all this by using the physicist's language and his method of thought and analysis-without, however, using...

Arnold Schoenberg: Notes, Sets, Forms
ISBN: 9780521106924 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In this thought provoking study, Silvina Milstein proposes a reconstruction of Schoenberg's conception of compositional process in his twelve-tone works, which challenges the prevalent view that this music is to be appropriately understood exclusively in terms of the new method. Her claim that in Scoenberg we encounter hierarchical pitch relations operating in a twelve-tone context is supported by in-depth musical analysis and the commentary on the sketch material, which shows tonal considerations to be a primary concern and even an important criterion in the composition of the set itself....

Lutes, Viols, Temperaments
ISBN: 9780521288835 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) To tune a lute or viol really well one must see to the exact spacing of the frets tied round the neck of the instrument. In this authoritative work Mark Lindley surveys different approaches to the problem as described from the 1520s to the 1740s by a variety of writers. Attention is given to some distinguished composers (Milan, Dowland, Monteverdi, Marais) and to some seminal figures in the early history of modern science (V. Galilei, Mersenne, Lord Brouncker) as well as to a number of encyclopaedic or didactic writers on music (Gerle, Bermudo, Ganassi, Zarlino, Praetorius). The book includes...

Shakespeare, Madness, and Music: Scoring Insanity in Cinematic Adaptations
ISBN: 9780810869462 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Shakespeare's three political tragedies--Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear--have numerously been presented or adapted on film. These three plays all involve the recurring trope of madness, which, as constructed by Shakespeare, provided a wider canvas on which to detail those materials that could not be otherwise expressed: sexual desire and expectation, political unrest, and, ultimately, truth, as excavated by characters so afflicted. Music has long been associated with madness, and was often used as an audible symptom of a victim's disassociation from their surroundings and societal rules, as...
