Vodou Nation: Haitian Art Music and Cultural Nationalism
ISBN: 9780226468655 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. While the Haitian musical tradition is probably best known for the Vodou-inspired roots music that helped topple the two-generation Duvalier dictatorship, the nation s troubled history of civil unrest and its tangled relationship with the United States is more intensely experienced through its art music, which combines French and German elements of classical music with Haiti's indigenous folk music. "Vodou Nation" examines art music by Haitian and African American composers who were inspired by Haiti s history as a nation created by slave revolt.

Music, Musicians, and the Saint-Simonians
ISBN: 9780226489025 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Saint-Simonians, whose movement flourished in France between 1825 and 1835, are widely recognized for their contributions to history and social thought. Until now, however, no full account has been made of the central role of the arts in their program. In this skillful interdisciplinary study, Ralph P. Locke describes and documents the Saint-Simonians' view of music as an ideological tool and the influence of this view on musical figures of the day.
The disciples ofClaude Henri de Rouvroy, comte de Saint-Simon, believed that increased industrial production would play a crucial role in... The Saint-Simonians, whose movement flourished in France between 1825 and 1835, are widely recognized for their contributions to history and social th...

The Madrigals of Michelangelo Rossi, 10
ISBN: 9780226503387 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Michelangelo Rossi's two books of five-voice polyphonic madrigals are among the most expressive works of their kind ever composed. Showing the influence of Gesualdo, the madrigals were probably written in Rome betwen 1624 and 1629, when Rossi was in the service of Cardinal Maurizio of Savoy. They were apparently never published, and there is only one complete manuscript source, which once belonged to Queen Christina of Sweden and now forms the principal source for Brian Mann's critical edition.

ISBN: 9780226521527 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 385 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Leonard Meyer proposes a theory of style and style change that relates the choices made by composers to the constraints of psychology, cultural context, and musical traditions. He explores why, out of the abundance of compositional possibilities, composers choose to replicate some patterns and neglect others. Meyer devotes the latter part of his book to a sketch-history of nineteenth-century music. He shows explicitly how the beliefs and attitudes of Romanticism influenced the choices of composers from Beethoven to Mahler and into our own time. "A monumental work. . . . Most authors...

Saying Something: Jazz Improvisation and Interaction
ISBN: 9780226534770 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 261 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This fresh look at the neglected rhythm section in jazz ensembles shows that the improvisational interplay among drums, bass, and piano is just as innovative, complex, and spontaneous as the solo. Ingrid Monson juxtaposes musicians' talk and musical examples to ask how musicians go about "saying something" through music in a way that articulates identity, politics, and race. Through interviews with Jaki Byard, Richard Davis, Sir Roland Hanna, Billy Higgins, Cecil McBee, and others, she develops a perspective on jazz improvisation that has "interactiveness" at its core, in the creation of...

In the Course of Performance is the first book in decades to illustrate and explain the practices and processes of musical improvisation. Improvisation, by its very nature, seems to resist interpretation or elucidation.

With contributions by seventeen scholars and improvisers, In the Course of Performance offers a history of research on improvisation and an overview of the different approaches to the topic that can be used, ranging from cognitive study to...

Tosca's Rome: The Play and the Opera in Historical Perspective
ISBN: 9780226579726 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A timeless tale of love, lust, and politics, Tosca is one of the most popular operas ever written. In Tosca's Rome, Susan Vandiver Nicassio explores the surprising historical realities that lie behind Giacomo Puccini's opera and the play by Victorien Sardou on which it is based. By far the most "historical" opera in the active repertoire, Tosca is set in a very specific time and place: Rome, from June 17 to 18, 1800. But as Nicassio demonstrates, history in Tosca is distorted by nationalism and by the vehement anticlerical perceptions of papal Rome shared by...

ISBN: 9780226660578 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When the great avant-gardist John Cage died, just short of his eightieth birthday in 1992, he was already the subject of dozens of interviews, memoirs, and discussions of his contribution to music, music theory, and performance practice. But Cage never thought of himself as only (or even primarily) a composer; he was a poet, a visual artist, a philosophical thinker, and an important cultural critic.
