Between Montmartre and the Mudd Club: Popular Music and the Avant-Garde
ISBN: 9780226287355 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, popular music was considered nothing but vulgar entertainment. Today, jazz and rock music are seen as forms of art, and their practitioners are regularly accorded a status on par with the cultural and political elite. To take just one recent example, Bono, lead singer and lyricist of the rock band U2, got equal and sometimes higher billing than Pope John Paul II on their shared efforts in the Jubilee 2000 debt-relief project.
When and how did popular music earn so much cultural capital? To find out, Bernard Gendron investigates five... During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, popular music was considered nothing but vulgar entertainment. Today, jazz and rock music are ...

Sacred Music from the Cathedral at Trent, 12: Trent, Museo Provinciale d'Arte, Codex 1375 (Olim 88)
ISBN: 9780226288093 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 1222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Often called the musical equivalent of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Trent codices have dramatically broadened our understanding of Renaissance music. Much has been written about this collection of fifteenth-century music manuscripts, most of which were discovered in the Cathedral at Trent, but none of the seven codices--generally called Trent 87 through Trent 93--has ever been published in its entirety. Thus Rebecca Gerber's edition of Trent 88, which took more than a decade to prepare, will be the first to appear. As such, this volume is a landmark in the...

The Urbanization of Opera: Music Theater in Paris in the Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780226288574 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Anselm Gerhard explores the origins of "grand opera, arguing that its aesthetic innovations (both musical and theatrical) reflected not bourgeois tastes, but changes in daily life and psychological outlook produced by the rapid urbanization of Paris. These larger urban and social concerns crucial to our understanding of nineteenth-century opera are brought to bear in fascinating discussions of eight operas composed by Rossini, Auber, Meyerbeer, Verdi, and Louise Bertin."

Giacomo Puccini's operas are among the most widely performed in the world, and include such masterpieces as La Boheme, Tosca and Madama Butterfly.

ISBN: 9780226310602 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 343 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Calypso music is an integral part of Trinidad s national identity. When, for instance, Franklin D. Roosevelt asked the great Trinidadian musician Roaring Lion where he was from, Lion famously replied the land of calypso.

Music Theory and the Exploration of the Past
ISBN: 9780226319025 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In recent decades, increased specialization has sharply separated music theory from historical musicology. Music Theory and the Exploration of the Past brings together a group of essays written by theorists and musicologists that seek to bridge this gap. This collection shows that music theory can join forces with historical musicology to produce a more humanistic form of musical scholarship.
In nineteen essays dealing with musical theories from the twelfth to the twentieth century, two recurring themes emerge. One is the need to understand the historical circumstances of the...

Manuel de Falla and Modernism in Spain, 1898-1936
ISBN: 9780226330389 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although studies of Modernism have focused largely on European nations, Spain has been conspicuously neglected. As Carol A. Hess argues in this compelling book, such neglect is wholly undeserved. Through composer Manuel de Falla (1876-1946), Hess explores the advent of Modernism in Spain in relation to political and cultural tensions prior to the Spanish Civil War. The result is a fresh view of the musical life of Spain that departs from traditional approaches to the subject and reveals an open and constantly evolving aesthetic climate.

Genre in Popular Music
ISBN: 9780226350394 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The popularity of the motion picture soundtrack "O Brother, Where Art Thou? "brought an extraordinary amount of attention to bluegrass, but it also drew its share of criticism from some aficionados who felt the album s inclusion of more modern tracks misrepresented the genre. This soundtrack, these purists argued, wasn t bluegrass, but roots music, a new and, indeed, more overarching category concocted by journalists and marketers. Why is it that popular music genres like these and others are so passionately contested? And how is it that these genres emerge, coalesce, change, and die out?...

Re-Envisioning Past Musical Cultures: Ethnomusicology in the Study of Gregorian Chant
ISBN: 9780226395807 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Studying Gregorian chant presents many problems to the researcher because its most important stages of development were not recorded in writing. From the sixth to the tenth century, this form of music existed only in song as medieval musicians relied on their memories and voices to pass each verse from one generation to the next. Peter Jeffery offers an innovative new approach for understanding how these melodies were created, memorized, performed, and modified. Drawing on a variety of disciplines, including anthropology and ethnomusicology, he identifies characteristics of Gregorian...

Urban Blues
ISBN: 9780226429601 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Charles Keil examines the expressive role of blues bands and performers and stresses the intense interaction between performer and audience. Profiling bluesmen Bobby Bland and B. B. King, Keil argues that they are symbols for the black community, embodying important attitudes and roles success, strong egos, and close ties to the community. While writing Urban Blues in the mid-1960s, Keil optimistically saw this cultural expression as contributing to the rising tide of raised political consciousness in Afro-America. His new Afterword examines black music in the context of capitalism and black...

Distant Cycles: Schubert and the Conceiving of Song
ISBN: 9780226452357 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Franz Schubert's song cycles "Schone Mullerin" and "Winterreise" are cornerstones of the genre. But as Richard Kramer argues in this book, Schubert envisioned many other songs as components of cyclical arrangements that were never published as such. By carefully studying Schubert's original manuscripts, Kramer recovers some of these "distant cycles" and accounts for idiosyncrasies in the songs which other analyses have failed to explain.
Returning the songs to their original keys, Kramer reveals linkages among songs which were often obscured as Schubert readied his compositions for...
