Sondheim & Lloyd-Webber: The New Musical
ISBN: 9780195096019 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The New York Times called Stephen Sondheim "the greatest and perhaps best known artist in the American musical theater," while two months earlier, the same paper referred to his contemporary, Andrew Lloyd-Webber as "the most commercially successful composer in history." Whatever their individual achievements might be, it is agreed by most critics that these two colossi have dominated world musical theater for the last quarter century and hold the key to the direction the musical stage will take in the future.

The Twisted Muse: Musicians and Their Music in the Third Reich
ISBN: 9780195096200 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Is music removed from politics? To what ends, beneficent or malevolent, can music and musicians be put? In short, when human rights are grossly abused and politics turned to fascist demagoguery, can art and artists be innocent?
These questions and their implications are explored in Michael Kater's broad survey of musicians and the music they composed and performed during the Third Reich. Great and small--from Valentin Grimm, a struggling clarinetist, to Richard Strauss, renowned composer--are examined by Kater, sometimes in intimate detail, and the lives and decisions of Nazi Germany's...

Jazz: The American Theme Song
ISBN: 9780195096354 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Praised by the Washington Post as a "tough, unblinked critic," James Lincoln Collier is probably the most controversial writer on jazz today. With the publication of "Jazz: The American Theme Song," Collier does nothing to soften his reputation for hard-hitting, incisive commentary. Questioning everything we think we know about jazz-- its origins, its innovative geniuses, the importance of improvisation and spontaneous inspiration in a performance-- and the jazz world, these ten provocative essays on the music and its place in American culture overturn tired assumptions and will alternately...

ISBN: 9780195098228 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Drawing upon a remarkable mix of intensive research and the personal experience of a career devoted to the music about which Dvorak so presciently spoke, Maurice Peress's lively and convincing narrative treats readers to a rare and delightful glimpse behind the scenes of the burgeoning American school of music and beyond.

Stir It Up: Musical Mixes from Roots to Jazz
ISBN: 9780195098693 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It's a cliche that the world is shrinking. As Gene Santoro sees it in his second collection of essays, music is one arena where that cliche takes on a real, but paradoxical, life: while music crisscrosses the globe with ever greater speed, musicians seize what's useful, and expand their idioms more rapidly.
More and more since the 1960s, musicians, both in America and abroad, have shown an uncanny but consistent ability to draw inspiration from quite unexpected sources. We think of Paul Simon in Graceland, blending Afropop rhythms and Everly Brothers harmonies into a remarkable new sound... It's a cliche that the world is shrinking.

ISBN: 9780195098877 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Few styles of popular music have generated as much controversy as progressive rock, a musical genre best remembered today for its gargantuan stage shows, its fascination with epic subject matter drawn from science fiction, mythology, and fantasy literature, and above all for its attempts to combine classical music's sense of space and monumental scope with rock's raw power and energy. Its dazzling virtuosity and spectacular live concerts made it hugely popular with fans during the 1970s, who saw bands such as King Crimson, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, and Jethro Tull...

ISBN: 9780195100464 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Have records, compact discs, and other sound reproduction equipment merely provided American listeners with pleasant diversions, or have more important historical and cultural influences flowed through them? Do recording machines simply capture what's already out there, or is the music somehow transformed in the dual process of documentation and dissemination? How would our lives be different without these machines? Such are the questions that arise when we stop taking for granted the phenomenon of recorded music and the phonograph itself. Now comes an in-depth cultural history of the...

Meter as Rhythm
ISBN: 9780195100662 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this book Christopher Hasty presents a striking new theory of musical duration. Drawing on insights from modern "process" philosophy, he advances a fully temporal perspective in which meter is released from its mechanistic connotations and recognized as a concrete, visceral agent of musical expression. Part one of the book reviews oppositions of law and freedom, structure and process, determinacy and indeterminacy in the speculations of theorists from the eighteenth century to the present. Part two reinterprets these contrasts to form a highly original account of meter that engages diverse...

Mozart's emergence as a mature artist coincides with the rise to prominence of the piano, an instrument that came alive under his fingers and served as medium for many of his finest compositions.

Dancing in Your Head: Jazz, Blues, Rock, and Beyond
ISBN: 9780195101232 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As music columnist for The Nation, Gene Santoro has established himself as an important new critical voice, able to write well on a broad spectrum of popular music and jazz without losing touch with the cutting edge of today's music scene. About Nat "King" Cole, Santoro comments: "adjectives can't describe the swinging, ingratiating self-confidence laced with tenderness that colors Nat "King" Cole's singing. His baritone/tenor is so airy and elemental, so palpably physical, it invites you in, then surrounds you glowingly..." And on the highly successful rock band Living Colour, Santoro is no...

ISBN: 9780195102871 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It was none other than Louis Armstrong who said, "These people who make the restrictions, they don't know nothing about music. It's no crime for cats of any color to get together and blow." "You can't know what it means to be black in the United States--in any field," Dizzy Gillespie once said, but Gillespie vigorously objected to the proposition that only black people could play jazz. "If you accept that premise, well then what you're saying is that maybe black people can only play jazz. And black people, like anyone else, can be anything they want to be."

ISBN: 9780195104547 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As a work of cultural criticism that recalls the concerns of Foucault, Hayden White, Zizek, and others Decentering Music examines the struggle for the authority to speak about music at a time when the humanities are in crisis. By linking the institutions that support musical research, including professional associations and universities, to complex historical changes such as globalization and the commodification of knowledge, Korsyn undertakes a critique of musical scholarship as an institutional discourse, while contributing to a general theory of disciplinary structures that goes...

The band made such a good impression that it was immediately booked to play at Carnegie Hall the...
