Music and the Racial Imagination
ISBN: 9780226701998 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 703 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A spectre lurks in the house of music, and it goes by the name of race, write Ronald Radano and Philip Bohlman in their introduction. Yet the intimate relationship between race and music has rarely been examined by contemporary scholars, most of whom have abandoned it for more enlightened notions of ethnicity and culture. Here, a distinguished group of contributors confront the issue head on. Representing an unusually broad range of academic disciplines and geographic regions, they critically examine how the imagination of race has influenced musical production, reception and scholarly...

Voices of the Magi: Enchanted Journeys in Southeast Brazil
ISBN: 9780226709413 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Voices of the Magi" explores the popular Catholic musical ensembles of southeastern Brazil known as "folias de reis" (companies of kings). Composed predominantly of low-income workers, the folias reenact the journey of the Wise Men to Bethlehem and back to the Orient, as they roam from house to house, singing to bless the families they visit in exchange for food and money. These gifts, in turn, are used to prepare a festival on Kings' Day, January 6, to which all who contributed are invited.
Focusing on urban folias, Suzel Ana Reily shows how participants use the ritual journeys and... "Voices of the Magi" explores the popular Catholic musical ensembles of southeastern Brazil known as "folias de reis" (companies of kings). Composed p...

Antonio Salieri and Viennese Opera
ISBN: 9780226711256 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 668 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many know Antonio Salieri only as Mozart's envious nemesis from the film "Amadeus." In this well-illustrated work, John A. Rice shows us what a rich musical and personal history this popular stereotype has missed.
Bringing Salieri, his operas, and eighteenth-century Viennese theater vividly to life, Rice places Salieri where he belongs: no longer lurking in Mozart's shadow, but standing proudly among the leading opera composers of his age. Rice's research in the archives of Vienna and close study of his scores reveal Salieri to have been a prolific, versatile, and adventurous composer for...

Emblems of Mind: The Inner Life of Music and Mathematics
ISBN: 9780226729541 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. One is a science, the other an art; one useful, the other seemingly decorative, but mathematics and music share common origins in cult and mystery and have been linked throughout history. "Emblems of Mind "is Edward Rothstein s classic exploration of their profound similarities, a journey into their inner life. Along the way, Rothstein explains how mathematics makes sense of space, how music tells a story, how theories are constructed, how melody is shaped. He invokes the poetry of Wordsworth, the anthropology of Levi-Strauss, the imagery of Plato, and the philosophy of Kant. Math and music,...

ISBN: 9780226730066 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ritual trance has always been closely associated with music but why, and how? Gilbert Rouget offers and extended analysis of music and trance, concluding that no universal law can explain the relations between music and trance; they vary greatly and depend on the system of meaning of their cultural context.
Rouget rigorously examines a worldwide corpus of data from ethnographic literature, but he also draws on the Bible, his own fieldwork in West Africa, and the writings of Plato, Ghazzali, and Rousseau. To organize this immense store of information, he develops a typology of trance based... Ritual trance has always been closely associated with music but why, and how?

D'Albuquerque's Children: Performing Tradition in Malaysia's Portuguese Settlement
ISBN: 9780226734996 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When the Portuguese seafarer Afonso de Albuquerque conquered the bustling port of Malacca in 1511, he effectively gained control of the entire South China Sea spice trade. Although their dominance lasted only 130 years, the Portuguese legacy lies at the heart of a burgeoning tourist attraction on the outskirts of the city, in which performers who believe they are the descendants of swashbuckling Portuguese conquerors encapsulate their "history" in a cultural stage show.
Using historical and ethnographic data, Margaret Sarkissian reveals that this music and dance draws on an eclectic... When the Portuguese seafarer Afonso de Albuquerque conquered the bustling port of Malacca in 1511, he effectively gained control of the entire South C...

Harmony
ISBN: 9780226737348 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Harmony," Heinrich Schenker's first published work, originally appeared in German in 1906 as "New Musical Theories and Phantasies, by an Artist." Its unusual title indicates what was to be the rationale of Schenker's lifework, that artistic problems call for artistic solutions. Schenker's dedication to the formulation of a complete musical theory above the commonplace theoretical discussions was, in essence, his quest for a pattern in nature for music as art. Schenker's theory draws upon a profound understanding of the works of the masters and every proposition is illustrated by a living...

Combining photographs, song texts, and vibrant recordings of the music with her own evocative descriptions, ethnomusicologist Jane C. Sugarman focuses her account of...

Music in Renaissance Magic: Toward a Historiography of Others
ISBN: 9780226807928 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Magic enjoyed a vigorous revival in sixteenth-century Europe, attaining a prestige lost for over a millennium and becoming, for some, a kind of universal philosophy. Renaissance music also suggested a form of universal knowledge through renewed interest in two ancient themes: the Pythagorean and Platonic "harmony of the celestial spheres" and the legendary effects of the music of bards like Orpheus, Arion, and David. In this climate, Renaissance philosophers drew many new and provocative connections between music and the occult sciences.

Stiffelio, 16: Libretto (in Three Acts) by Francesco Maria Piave
ISBN: 9780226853192 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The performance history of "Stiffelio" as Verdi envisioned it began only in 1993. Composed with "Rigoletto, " and sharing many of its characteristics, "Stiffelio" suffered from the censors' strictures. From its premiere in 1850, its text was diluted to appease the authorities, making a mockery of the action and Verdi's carefully calibrated music. The story of Stiffelio, a protestant minister who eventually divorces his adulterous wife but forgives her from the pulpit in the final scene, shocked conservative Italian religious and political powers. The libretto was rewritten for subsequent...

Macbeth: Melodramma in Four Acts. Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave Volume 10
ISBN: 9780226853208 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 612 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Verdi had a special fondness for "Macbeth," and the first version of his opera based on Shakespeare's play is arguably the most important work of his formative years. But dissatisfied with the work of his librettist, Francesco Maria Piave, Verdi reworked the text himself and lavished the score with particular attention. The premiere in Florence in 1847 was a great success, but for the Paris premiere in 1865, Verdi made substantial changes, adding dances and an entirely new aria, duet, chorus, and death scene. Clearly, he intended that "Macbeth II" supersede the earlier version, and today the...
