Salamone Rossi: Jewish Musician in Late Renaissance Mantua
ISBN: 9780195168136 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Salamone Rossi (c.1570-c.1627) occupies a unique place in Renaissance music culture: he was the earliest outstanding Jewish composer to work in the European art music tradition. Working for the Gonzaga dukes in Mantua, yet remaining faithful to his own religious community, Rossi has a biography fraught with difficult and often exciting questions of socio-cultural order. How Rossi solved, or appears to have solved, the problem of conflicting interests is a subject worthy of inquiry, not only because we want to know more about Rossi, but also because Rossi can stand as a paradigm for other...

Wrong's What I Do Best: Hard Country Music and Contemporary Culture
ISBN: 9780195169423 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first study of "hard" country music as well as the first comprehensive application of contemporary cultural theory to country music. Barbara Ching begins by defining the features that make certain country songs and artists "hard." She compares hard country music to "high" American culture, arguing that hard country deliberately focuses on its low position in the American cultural hierarchy, comically singing of failures to live up to American standards of affluence, while mainstream country music focuses on nostalgia, romance, and patriotism of regular folk.

Fantasy Pieces: Metrical Dissonance in the Music of Robert Schumann
ISBN: 9780195169461 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Fantasy Pieces examines from several vantage points a vital life-force of Robert Schumann's music, namely metrical conflict. Harald Krebs's imaginative yet rigorous study makes use of Schumann's fascinating projections of his own personality--the characters Florestan and Eusebius--as one means of addressing the biographical and aesthetic context of the music. In counterpoint with the remarks of these personae, Krebs develops an original theory of metrical conflict by adapting the concepts of consonance and dissonance to metrical analysis. He investigates how states of metrical...

The Reception of Bach's Organ Works from Mendelssohn to Brahms
ISBN: 9780195171099 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this penetrating study, Russell Stinson explores how four of the greatest composers of the nineteenth century--Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, and Johannes Brahms--responded to the model of Bach's organ music. The author shows that this quadrumvirate not only borrowed from Bach's organ works in creating their own masterpieces, whether for keyboard, voice, orchestra, or chamber ensemble, but that they also reacted significantly to the music as performers, editors, theorists, and teachers. Furthermore, the book reveals how these four titans influenced one another as...

Music from behind the Bridge tells the story of the steelband from the point of view of musicians who overcame disadvantages of poverty...

The Tragic and the Ecstatic: The Musical Revolution of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde
ISBN: 9780195176476 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. During the years preceding the composition of Tristan and Isolde, Wagner's aesthetics underwent a momentous turnaround, principally as a result of his discovery of Schopenhauer. Many of Schopenhauer's ideas, especially those regarding music's metaphysical significance, resonated with patterns of thought that had long been central to Wagner's aesthetics, and Wagner described the entry of Schopenhauer into his life as "a gift from heaven." Chafe argues that Wagner's Tristan and Isolde is a musical and dramatic exposition of metaphysical ideas inspired by Schopenhauer. The...

Understanding French Verse: A Guide for Singers
ISBN: 9780195177169 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Advice to young singers often follows the standard line of the great French singer Claire Croiza: "Study the poem away from the music, so that you know what the words really mean." But Croiza's advice is notoriously difficult to follow when performing French melodies. Just how do you approach a French poem? In the lyric poetry on which the melodie is based, meaning is conveyed not just through the words but also through the poem's formal structure. Understanding French Verse: A Guide for Singers explains this formal structure and sets out the basics of French...

All Shook Up: How Rock 'n' Roll Changed America
ISBN: 9780195177497 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The birth of rock 'n roll ignited a firestorm of controversy--one critic called it "musical riots put to a switchblade beat"--but if it generated much sound and fury, what, if anything, did it signify? As Glenn Altschuler reveals in All Shook Up, the rise of rock 'n roll--and the outraged reception to it--in fact can tell us a lot about the values of the United States in the 1950s, a decade that saw a great struggle for the control of popular culture. Altschuler shows, in particular, how rock's "switchblade beat" opened up wide fissures in American society along the fault-lines...
